Abstract

As a result of the survey of pinhole borers in Korea, one species, Treptoplatypus severini Blandford, was identified as a new addition to the Korean fauna. We observed 3 species, Platypus koryoensis, P. lewisi, and Treptoplatypus severini and could not examined Korean specimens of 3 previously recorded species, Crossotarsus simplex, Dinoplatypus calamus, Treptoplatypus solidus. We compared the external characteristics of male specimens of several species for the easy identification of the Korean Platypodidae, and updated the taxonomic position of the Korean species.
