Abstract

The larval stage of Copera tokyoensis Asahina is described for the first time from Korea. The larva can be distinguished from other known larvae of Copera by the absence of lateral setae on the abdominal segments and by the labial palpal lobe, which bears three setae. Line-drawings of key characters and discussion on Korean Copera are provided.
