Abstract

A female specimen of Sternuchopsis (s. str.) waltoni (Boheman, 1844), belonging to the tribe Mecysolobini (Curculionidae: Molytinae), was collected by beating method from Gadeok-do in Busan, the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. This weevil pest is designated as a quarantine pest under the Plant Quarantine Act (2019) in Korea. It is considered unreasonable to determine whether this species is an invasive or native species in Korea, as damage to crops has not been confirmed and there is no other collection information. This study aims to provide accurate diagnosis information including illustration and ecological information to gain more domestic occurrence information on this weevil.

Mecysolobini족에 속하는 Sternuchopsis (Sternuchopsis) waltoni (Boheman, 1844) (메꽃통바구미; 신칭) 암컷 1개체를 한반도의 남단인 부산의 가덕도 야산에서 떨어잡기를 통해 채집하였다. 이 바구미가 국내 식물방역법상 검역해충으로 지정되어 있어 침입종 또는 자생종 인지 여부를 판단할 필요가 있으나 현재 작물에 대한 피해가 확인되지 않고 있고, 그 밖의 채집정보도 없어 그 판단은 무리가 있다고 생각된다. 본 연구는 이 바구미에 관한 국내 발생정보를 더 확보하기 위한 정확한 진단정보 및 생태정보를 제공하고자 한다.
