A taxonomic study of the genus Frontina Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Korea

Korean species of the genus Frontina (Diptera: Tachinidae) are reviewed. This Palaearctic genus currently includes five nominal species, of which three occur in Korea (Frontina femorata, F. laeta and F. tricolor). We found that the only Korean record of this genus was F. laeta, but examination of the voucher specimens revealed that they actually were F. femorata. We provide a key, descriptions and illustrations of the three Korean species.
