Abstract

Twelve Far Eastern species of the genus Ancistrocerus Wesmael are taxonomically reviewed. Among them, Ancistrocerus coreanus Kim and Yamane is new to science. A. japonicus, A. parietum and A. scoticus are newly recorded from Korea. In comparison to A. melanocerus, our opinion on the identity of A. densepilosellus is presented: it is more supportive that the Far Eastern population is the latter. Revised key, description, recognition characteristics and digital images for all the treated species are provided.
