Abstract
A taxonomic study of the Aleochara Gravenhorst subgenus Tinotus Sharp in Korea is presented. Three species are recognized, all of which are new to the Korean fauna [Aleochara (Tinotus) eoa Yamamoto and Maruyama, Aleochara (Tinotus) morion Gravenhorst, and Aleochara (Tinotus) takashii Yamamoto and Maruyama]. The subgenus Tinotus is also a new record in Korea. Diagnoses, habitus photographs, and illustrations of median lobe and spermatheca are provided to facilitate identification.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
