Abstract

A total of 69 genera and 202 species of the family Syrphidae have been previously recognized in Korea. In the present study, we report the following 10 species new to Korea: Epistrophe aeka Kimura, 1989, Epistrophe aino (Matsumura, 1917), Epistrophe annulitarsis(Stackelberg, 1918), Epistrophe griseofasciata (Matsumura, 1918), Epistrophe sasayamana (Matsumura, 1918), Epistrophe shibakawae (Matsumura, 1917), Fagisyrphus cinctus (Fallén, 1817), Melangyna olsufjevi (Violovitsh, 1956), Melangyna pavlovskyi (Violovitsh, 1956), and Paragus clausseni Mutin, 1999. Among the four genera, the genus Fagisyrphus Dušek and Láska, 1967 is recognized for the first time in Korea. As a result, 70 genera and 212 species of the family Syrphidae are now officially recognized for the Korean fauna. For each newly recognized Korean species, we provide synonymy, diagnosis, and description with color photographs. In addition, we provide new Korean names for all newly recorded species as well as the genera Epistrophe, Fagisyrphus, and Melangyna, which previously did not have Korean names.

Acknowledgement

This work could not have been possible without the generous assistance from Katsuyoshi Ichige, who provided photographs of several Epistrophe type specimens deposited in HUS and NIAES, and some Japanese Epistrophe aeka specimens. We greatly appreciate Martin Hauser for helping us sorting Korean Paragus species and also donating some Korean Epistrophe specimens. We also thank Ximo Mengual for helpful discussion at the initial stage of this study. We are grateful to Kyung-Eui Ro, Deuk-Soo Choi, Hye-Woo Byun, Sam-Kyu Kim, Hyun-Suk Lee, O-Young Lim, Chan-Hee Park, Sang-Wook Suk, Jong-Su Lim, Dong-Jun Cha, Yong-Bong Lee, Jong-Mi Jung, Dong-Han Kim, Han-Saem Lee, Seung-Su Euo, Soo-Hyun Jeong, Jeong-Hwan Choi, Woon-Ryoung Ha, Min-Hee Park, and Seong-Pil Han for collecting and curating Korean syrphid specimens in YSUW. This work was supported by a grant from the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), funded by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) of the Republic of Korea (NIBR201801201, 201902205, 2020 02205, 202102204). This work was also supported in part by a grant from the Korea National Arboretum, Korea Forest Service (KNA 1-1-20, 16-1).
