Abstract
Background: The genus Hypena Schrank is a large but poorly-defined taxon. Hypena nakajimai Kishida, which is reported here for the first time in Korea, highlights the Hypena's current taxonomic situation - a lack of phylogenetic analysis, taxonomic revision and numerous tropical species descriptions. H. nakajimai was initially found by Sugi more than 40 years ago, but the species was officially named by Kishida in 2010. It is expected that numerous undescribed and unknown Hypena species still remain to be discovered.
New information: The present study reports the thirtieth Korean Hypena species, provides its diagnosis, re-describes its habitus and male genitalia and emphasises the importance of describing Hypena and its difficulties.

期刊介绍:
Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers.
The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
