Taxonomic Review of the Subtribe Athouina Candéze 1859 Coleóptera Elateridae Dendrometrinae Dendrometrini in Korea

摘要

In this revision of the subtribe Athouina of Dendrometrini, we recognized three species including Cidnopus nigronitidus sp. nov., Limonius scutellaris (Dolin, 2003) comb, nov., all new to Korea, and Limoniscus kraatzi (Candéze, 1879) is recognized asthe most abundant species in the Korean Peninsula. Previous records of Athousius humeralis (Miwa, 1927) and Limoniscus rufipennis (Lewis, 1894) have been confirmed to be misidentifications of Ampedus basalis (Mannerheim, 1852) and Corymbitodes sp., respectively and the records of Limonius eximius (Lewis, 1874) and Limoniscus vittatus (Candéze, 1873) are also questionable because no specimens are known from the Korean Peninsula.
