Abstract

The subfamily Amphicrossinae Kirejtshuk, 1986 is reviewed with three species in one genus reported from Korea, and Amphicrossus hisamatsui Jelinek, 1993 is recorded for the first time in Korea. A key to the Korean Amphicrossinae species is provided, along with descriptions of larval stages of two species (A. lewisi and A. hisamatsui). The initial record of A. japonicus from Korea is presumed to be based on a misidentified specimen of A. hisamatsui. However, this study could not verify the voucher specimen from Chujo and Lee (1994). Given its distribution in neighboring countries, A. japonicus will remain on the species list until its presence in Korea is confirmed. Biological information and illustrations of the Korean Amphicrossinae are also provided.
