New Records of the Genus Isotomurus (Collembola: Isotomidae) from Korea

Two species of the genus Isotomurus Börner are newly recorded in Korea; I. bimus Christiansen and Bellinger, and I. plumosus Bagnall. These species are collected from salt marshes near West Sea of Korea. The Korean materials of I. bimus agreed well with the original description by Christiansen and Bellinger from North America, in its peculiar body pattern, with two long ciliated setae on tibiotarsus of hind leg, multisetaceous lateral flap of ventral tube and the presence of a mucronal lateral seta. Isotomurus plumosus is also easily identified from other Isotomurus species by the peculiar colour pattern, and the presence of long maxillary lamella 1 and a mucronal seta.
