Preface

In 2010, the 10th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adoptedthe Nagoya Protocol on access and benefit-sharing of biological resources. Since then, the nationaland international environment of the use and management of biological resources has been rapidlychanged. Therefore, it is imperative to identify indigenous biological species in details and to buildscientific data worthy of international recognition in order to take the initiative in bio-industry.

The National Institute of Biological Resources of the Ministry of Environment has been publishingthe Flora and Fauna of Korea to generally manage biological resources and to enhance national com-petitiveness by setting the foundation for the sovereignty over biological resources. Professionalresearch group consisting of professors of taxonomy and related experts has systematically examineda variety of and wide range of taxa for the last 6 years since 2006.

As a result, 90 issues of the Flora and Fauna of Korea, both in Korean and in English, covering atotal of 8,888 species and 2 issues of World Monograph covering 216 species were published. And30 issues of the Flora and Fauna of Korea, both in Korean and in English, covering 1,665 species ofinvertebrates, insects and algae are additionally published this year.

These efforts serve to identify indigenous species living in Korea, to investigate biota, to improvethe quality of national biological resources management and to provide the opportunity to lay thegroundwork for the biotechnological industrialization of biological resources.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for those who spared no effort to publish the bio-logical magazines; Dr. Kyu-Tek Park of The Korean Academy of Science and Technology, ProfessorJong Kyun Park of Kyungpook National University, Dr. Jinyoung Park of Kyungpook National Uni-versity, Professor Yang-Seop Bae of University of Incheon, Mr. Uljizarkal and Ms. Bo-Seon Park ofUniversity of Incheon, Dr. Hong-Sik Won of Jeohyeon Highschool, Dr. Jeong-Kyu Kim of HanseoUniversity, Professor Jong-Wook Lee of Yeungnam University, Dr. Jong-Chul Jeong of Korea NationalPark Service, Dr. Jin-Kyung Choi and Mr. Ki-Beom Kim of Yeungnam University, Dr. Heung-Sik LeeAnimal Plant and Quartine Agency, Professor Dong-Pyo Ryu of Sangji University, Dr. Boo-Hee Jungof Korea University, Dr. Young Bok Cho of Hannam University, Professor Sei-Woong Choi of MokpoNational University, Dr Kyungduk Han of Korea University, Dr. Sangwook Park of Research Insti-tute of Forest Insects Diversity, Professor Ki-Jeong Hong of Sunchon National University, andProfessor See-Ae Bae of Shinheung College. And I hope they will help to discover useful biologicalresources in Korea and to create high value-added activities including natural product, gene resourceand medical substance development.

Introduction

The family Tenebrionidae is one of the most diverse group within Coleoptera. Tenebrionidae, thelargest family of the Tenebrionoidea, is represented worldwide by approximately 22000 describedspecies in about 2,000 genera (Arnett et al., 2002) and about 96 tribes belonging to 10 subfamilies(Bouchard et al., 2005; Löbl et al., 2008).

Most tenebrioinds are heavily sclerotized, dark in color, long lived, mostly crepuscular or activeat night (Arnett et al., 2002). Tenebrionids are strongly represented in tropical and subtropicalregions and in both hot and cold deserts, but are less numerous in damp and cool-temperateclimates, and on the oceanic islands.

Both adults and larvae of tenebrionid beetles inhabit diverse habitats all over the world. Theylive in rotten wood, in stored products, in the soil or sand, in the leaf litter, on dead or living planttissue and in fungi including moulds and lichens (Watt, 1974). Adult tenebrionids with abdominaldefensive glands produce repugnatorial secretion containing benzoquinones (Eisner and Meinwald,1966).

Tenebrionid beetles are represented in Korea by 6 subfamilies, including Tenebrioninae,Diaperinae, Alleculinae, Lagriinae, Stenochiinae and Pimeliinae (the latter including only onespecies).

1. Subfamily Lagriinae Latreille, 1802

The subfamily Lagriinae is distributed in most parts of the Palaeartic region, with 5 tribes, 39genera and about 504 described species (Löbl et al., 2008). In Korea, 3 tribes, 9 genera, and 12species are known to occur (Löbl et al., 2008).

Lagriinae is apparently an early offshoot of tenebrionidae, and is readily characterized as follows:Most adults have elongate and cylindrical body, prognathous head, filiform, rarely moniliform,sometimes indistinctly clavate (in a few tropical forms flabellate) antennae, often very long apicalantennomere, reniform (circular in Laena) eyes, and tarsal formula usually 5-5-4. In addition, elytrararely striate (if so, 10-striae) and penultimate tarsomeres lobed ventrally (Watt, 1974).

Larvae are usually found in leaf litter, especially in forests, in dead and rotten wood, or underbark of dead trees (Hayashi, 1964). A adults live under bark of logs, on the ground or (someLagriini) on vegetation (Watt, 1974).

The long history of the classification of Tenebrionidae has been discussed by Watt (1967, 1974),Doyen (1972) and Doyen and Lawrence (1979). The breakthough in our understanding came whenwhat is now the Lagriinae was recognized as a major natural group, first as larvae then as adults,specifically in Watt (1974).

Kolbe (1886) published the first comprehensive study on the Tenebrionidae fauna in Korea, basedon collecting mainly in Seoul and partly in Busan and Pyeongyang in 1883 and 1884. In this work,one species of Lagriinae, Luprops sinensis (now synonym of Luprops orientalis) was included. Later,Heyden (1887) added one species. Cho (1934, 1963), Mochizuki and Tsunekawa (1937), and Kaszab(1968) reported four species. Korean Lagriinae was frequently recorded since the 1980’s.

During the 1980-1990s, taxonomic review and faunistic data to the Korean Lagriinae werepublished by Kim (1981), Chûjô and Lee (1992, 1994), Kim and Kim (1996) and Kim (1996) reportedeight species including one new species from Korea. In addition, Jung and Kim (2009) conductedtaxonomic review of species of Lagria.

2. Subfamily Stenochiinae Kirby, 1837

The subfamily Stenochiinae is distributed in most parts of the Palaeartic region, with 2 tribes, 74genera and 432 described species (Löbl et al., 2008). In Korea, 2 tribes, 8 genera, and 20 species areknown to occur (Löbl et al., 2008; Jung, 2008).

Most adults of Stenochiinae are morphologically recognized by their elongate or gourd-shapedbody. Their antennae are diverse (usually filiform, serrate, incrassate or weakly clavate), bearingstellate compound sensoria at apical antennomeres 5 to 8. Procoxal cavities broadly closed bothexternally and internally. Mesocoxal cavities closed laterally by mesepimeron. Elytra with 9 com-plete striae. Very large defensive reservoirs strengthened by annular foldings of the cuticular walland defensive glands opening through a few large collecting ducts (Doyen, 1989).

Members of Stenochiinae primarily occur in forest and woodland habitats in the tropics and sub-tropics. The larvae are almost exclusively found in dead and decaying wood, both in and underbark, sometimes in heartwood and occasionally in fruiting bodies of fungi.

The larvae of Stenochiini, one of the big group in this subfamilty, are known to live in the decay-ing trees (Doyen, 1989).

They often have strongly sclerotized posterior segments and well-developed urogomphi. Theseprobably aid locomotion in the larval burrows and also possibly have a protective function. Adultsare frequently found associated with various sorts of dead wood and are usually nocturnal(Marshall, 1982).

Kolbe (1886) published the first comprehensive study on the Tenebrionidae fauna of Korea. In thiswork, two species of Stenochiinae, Misolampidius morio (now synonym of Misolampidius tenty-rioides), and Strongylium cultellatum, were included. Later, Mochizuki (1934) added one species.Cho (1957), Cho et al. (1968) and Kaszab (1968) reported three species. ZSK (1968) added 2 species,Chu (1969) added one species, Kim and Kim (1971, 1974) added two species, and Yoon and Nam(1979) reported one species which was misidentified. Several species of this group were reportedby Kim (1981), Kwon and Choi (1986, checklist of Korean Tenebrionidae). Kim et al (1994) and Kim(1995a, b). Chûjô and Imasaka (1982) reported two new species Misolampidius koreanus and Miso-lampidius chejudoensis.

In addition, subsequent taxonomic studies of Korean Stenochiinae were conducted as part of adoctoral program (Jung, 2008).

Tribe Laenini Seidlitz, 1896

Laenina Seidlitz, 1896: 669.

Body gourd-shaped, strongly constricted in middle. Elytra with strial punctures, strongly sculp-tured. Abdominal defensive glands lacking.

Type genus: Laena Dejean, 1821: 64.

NUMBER OF PALAEARCTIC GENERA: 3 (1 in Korea).NUMBER OF PALAEARCTIC SPECIES: 266 (1 in Korea).DISTRIBUTION: Asia, Europe.KEY REFERENCES: Tschinkel and Doyen (1980), Chûjô (1982), Doyen and Tschinkel (1982), Doyen et

al. (1989), Matthews (1998).REMARKS: Laenini certainly appear to be the sister-group of Adeliini, since they are similar in all

respects other than absence defensive glands. It is theoretically possible that Laenini evolved fomAdeliini by the total loss of the glands (Adeliini have glands between sterinites 8 and 9), and thetwo tribe could be united, but their geopraphical separation makes it more likely that they are sister-groups descended from an ancestor that had defensive glands between sternites 7 and 8 but not 8and 9.

Genus Laena Dejean, 1821

Body strongly constricted between fore and hind parts. Elytra with setiferous umblicate pores.Femora often angulate or spined (Masumoto, 1996).

Type species: Scaurus viennensis J. Sturm, 1807.

NUMBER OF PALAEARCTIC SPECIES: more than 260 (1 in Korea).DISTRIBUTION: Asia, Europe.KEY REFERENCES: Chûjô (1982, 1992), Masumoto (1990, 1996), Schawaller (1995), Matthews (1998). REMARK: Members of Laena are usually found under leaf litter in temperate broadleaved forests.

This genus including more than described 260 species is widely distributed in Asia and Europe (Löblet al., 2008). It occurs from the central ranges of the Malay Peninsula (Schawaller 1995) westwardthrough the Himalayas, where most species are found, to south-eastern Europe and was includedin Lacordaire’s (1859) original adeliides.

REMARKS: It is most abundant in crevices, under leaf litter, in dead stems of Batatas edulus, whichis often hung up in trees to dry in both China (Jiangzhi and Fujian) and Japan (Lewis, 1984). Lagriasinensis (Kim et al., 1994) is a non-existing scientific name, it is perhaps a misprint of Lupropssinensis. This species can be distinguished from L. cribrifrons as follows (Table 1).

Arthromacra viridissima Lewis, 1895: 277; Cho, 1963: 207.

DISTRIBUTION: Korea (Jejudo), Japan.SPECIMENS EXAMINED: None.REMARKS: Korean specimens of this species were not examined. Since this species was recorded

by Cho (1963) from the Jeju-do fauna, it was included in one Korean checklist based on Cho’srecord until now. I tried to collect this species several times a year for 8 years in Jejudo, withoutsuccess. Korea is not listed in the recent catalogue of Palaeartic region (Löbl et al., 2008) among thecountries where this species is known to occur. So I propose to delete this species from the Koreanlist.

Subfamily Stenochiinae Kirby (= Coelometopinae), 1837

Stenochiinae Kirby, 1837: 238.Coelometopinae Lacordaire, 1859: 358; Schaum, 1859: 71.

Body 5-45 mm in length. Antennae filiform, serrate, incrassate or weakly capitate; apical anten-nomeres 5 to 8 bearing stellate compound sensoria. Labrum transverse, basal membrane exposedor concealed. Mandible with mola finely striate. Procoxal cavities broadly closed both externally andinternally. Mesocoxal cavities closed laterally by mesepimeron. Elytra with 9 complete striae. Tarsiwith fine and dense pubescence ventrally or with sparse and coarse setae. Tibiae frequently withsetose inner apical margins. Ovipositor with coxites clearly 4-lobed (Tschinkel and Doyen, 1980),paraprocts rotated about 145 degrees around articulation with coxite at rest, or, rarely, rotatedabout 60-90 degrees (Menephilus). Internal female reproductive tract consisting of vagina, enlargedbursa copulatrix, and single duct (Tschinkel and Doyen, 1980). Aedeagus with tegmen dorsal at rest,rotated about 60-90 degrees, or occasionally inverted (rotated 180 degrees); median lobe usuallyadnate to tegmen, rarely freely extrusible. Very large defensive reservoirs strengthened by annularfoldings of the cuticular wall, and defensive glands opening through a few large collecting ducts(Doyen, 1989).

REMARKS: Stenochiinae primarily occur in forest and woodland situations in the tropics andsubtropics. The larvae are almost exclusively found in dead and decaying wood, both in and underbark, sometimes in heartwood and occasionally in tree fungi. They often have strongly sclerotizedposterior segments and well-developed urogomphi. These probably aid locomotion in the larval bur-rows and also possibly have a protective function. Adults are frequently found associated with vari-ous sorts of dead wood and are usually nocturnal (Marshall, 1982).

and Kim (1972a) from the fauna of Mujugucheondong, it was mentioned in several Koreanchecklists based on their report. Ainu tenuicornis occurs in Japan only. We did not find specimensin any institutes and universities having insect collections. So we guessed that it was amisidentified species of the genus Allecula (Alleculinae). Occurrence of this species is unlikely inKorea, thus it is treated in this study as a doubtful species.

We contacted Dr. Ottó Merkl in the Hung-arian Natural History Museum (HNHM) for confirming the Korean specimen of Promethis striati-pennis (Lewis). Unfortunately there is no Korean specimen of this species in the HNHM. However,it is not impossible that this species exists in Jejudo because it is known to occur in Honshu andNansei in Japan. So I will go on collecting and search.

17. Promethis punctatostriata (Motschulsky, 1872)

DISTRIBUTION: Korea (Jejudo), Japan, India (Assam, Bengal, Sikkim), Nepal, China (Yunnan,Hainan), Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malay Peninsula.

SPECIMENS EXAMINED: none.REMARKS: Kaszab (1988a, b) reported this species from Quelpart. The depositories were Museum

Dr. Georg Frey, Tutzing (1ex. MGFT) and Transvaal Museum, Pretoria (1♀ TMPA). MGFT is famousfor being the largest private Coleoptera collection in the world. After dispute of its possession, hiscollection moved to Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Switzerland, in 1996. I got contacted to themuseum for information about Promethis punctatostriata, unfortunately without success. We con-tacted Dr. Ottó Merkl in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) for confirming the Koreanspecimen of Promethis punctatostriata. I have visited Jejudo to collect this species about three times ayear, but I never collected it. It was perhaps mislabeled or misidentified. This species is dis-tributed in the Oriental Region, and its occurrence is regarded as doubtful in Korea. So I propose todelete this species from the Korean list.

SPECIMENS EXAMINED: None.REMARKS: Kaszab (1988a, b) reported this species from specimens from Jejudo deposited in the

private collection of Dr. Hasn Bremer and in the collections of the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, theZoologische Staatssammlung, München, and in the Frey Collection in Basel. We contacted the Trans-vaal Museum, Pretoria, for information about Promethis rectangula, unfortunately without success.This species is distributed in the Oriental Region, so it is regarded as doubtful in Korea.

162; Löbl et al., 2008: 346.

DISTRIBUTION: Korea?, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu).SPECIMENS EXAMINED: None.REMARKS: Korean Specimens of this species were not examined. Since this species was reported by

ZSK (1968), it was included in the Korean checklists, based on that record. This species is similar tofemale Promethis valgipes, having smooth metaventrite and simple mid and hind tibiae. It is highlyprobable that specimens were misidentified females of Promethis valgipes. It is doubtful whetherthis species occurs in Korea. So I will go on collecting and search.

REMARKS: As a result of measuring 10 specimens of this species, tubercles of tibiae were foundvariously placed from apical 1/2 to apical 3/5 in male fore tibiae. Shape of tubercles varied fromblunt to sharp. This species is found in rotten wood, rarely on forest ground. It is active at night. Itprefers coniferous forests, although is often found in coniferous-broadleaved forests. Field obser-vations suggest that adults feed on mycelia or fruiting bodies of Trichaptum fuscoviolaceum belong-ing to Aphyllophorales. It was also found on lichens growing on decaying trees ant stones. Larvaeinhabit decaying trees. The species overwinters as larvae, pupae in the wood and as adults in thewood or under bark.

DISTRIBUTION: Korea (North Korea), Japan.SPECIMENS EXAMINED: None.REMARKS: Korean specimens of this species were not examined. Since it was recorded by Kwon

and Choi (1986), it was included in several Korean checklists, based on their report. This species isknown from North Korea, according to the recent catalogue of Palaearctic Tenebrionidae (Löbl etal., 2008); specimens from North Korea are housed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Buda-pest, but these have well-developed hind wings and are seem to be misidentified S. cultellatum (Dr.Ottó Merkl, personal communication). I have not found specimens in institutes and universitieshaving insect collections. And we tried to collect them in many islands, including Deokjeokdo, Soyado,Guleopdo, Weonsando, Geomundo, Wooido, Jaeundo, Bigeumdo, Jejudo and Daecheongdo, withoutsuccess. This species has vestigial hind wings, and is widely distributed in Japan in rotten wood(Masumoto, 1999). This species is found on old trees in the midsummer (Lewis, 1894). Several bra-chypterous or apterous species apparently derived from ancestral species of Asian Strongylium with-out modification of fundamental morphology of the genus. It is possible that after primary dis-persal to various areas in East Asia, Strongylium marseuli became brachypterous and underwent somemodification because of the loss of hind wings (Masumoto, 1999).

DISTRIBUTION: Korea, Japan.SPECIMENS EXAMINED: None.REMARKS: Korean Specimens of this species were not examined. Since it was recorded by Yoon

and Nam (1980) in the fauna of Temple Gab-sa, it was cited in several Korean checklists based ontheir report. We did not find the specimens in the collection of the Korea University where theyshould be deposited. Perhaps it was misidentified, so occurrence of this species in Korea needsconfirmation.

Subfamily Pimeliinae Latreille, 1802

Pimeliariae Latreille, 1802: 165.

Antennae not distinctly clubbed. Labrum transverse, often strongly. Mentum often large, con-cealing mouthparts. Procoxal cavities externally closed behind. Mesocoxae with or without exposedtrochantins, their cavities closed laterally by sterna or partly by mesepimera. Elytra rarely striate;if so, each with 10 striae and scutellary striole. Wings rarely present, without subcubital flecks.Tarsal segments and claws simple. Abdominal glands absent. Abdominal ventrites with interseg-mental membranes concealed, except in the Palaearctic tribes Pimeliini and Platyopini. Aedeagusinverted.
