Abstract
• The family Ricaniidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) in Korea is taxonomically reviewed. • Eight species are recognized with a new record, Ricania fumosa ( Walker, 1851 ). • Confirmed that R . speculum ( Walker, 1851 ), is now being distributed in Korea. • A key to the Korean species of the family Ricaniidae is also presented. In this study, we taxonomically reviewed the family Ricaniidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) from Korea. Some members of the family Ricaniidae are significant insect pests in agriculture and forestry. In Korea, eight species have been recognized along with a new record, Ricania fumosa (Walker, 1851). We confirmed that an invasive species, R. speculum (Walker, 1851), has now spread throughout Korea, except Jeju Island, since its first discovery in 2015. Diagnoses and redescriptions of the species are presented with photographs of habitus, male and female genitalia, and with a key to the Korean species of Ricaniidae.
