Abstract

The genus Ippa Walker, 1864 is reported for the first time from Korea, with a species I. conspersa (Matsumura, 1931). I. conspersa is generally known as myrmecophiles having ecological relationships with some ant species such as Lasius spp. Photographs of adults, immature stages, and the genitalia of I. conspersa are provided.

Ippa conspersa (Matsumura, 1931)를 포함한 Ippa Walker, 1864 속의 한국 분포를 최초로 확인하였다. I. conspera의 유충은 Lasius (Lasius) spp. 와 같은 몇몇 개미류를 포식하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이번 연구를 통하여 한국산 I. conspera의 성충 및 암수 생식기, 유충의 외부 형태를 기재하고 도판을 제시하였다.
