Abstract

A rare genus Leptodromiella Tuomikoski, 1936, which belongs to the subfamily Ocydromiinae in the family Hybotidae contains only one recorded speices, L. crassiseta (Tuomikoski, 1932). Until now, there is still no known ecological information about this genus, and its distribution was restricted to only in central and northern Europe, such as Finland, Sweden and Russia. In Korea, only one species, Bicellaria koreana Barták, Plant & Kubík, 2013, was recorded in the family Hybotidae from Mt. Baekdusan so far. Herein, the second genus Leptodromiella is newly recorded along with the nominate species, L. crassiseta (Tuomikoski, 1932) in Korean fauna. Re-description and illustrations of external features and male genitalia of the newly recorded species are provided in this paper.
