Abstract

Four species, Colpotrochia bifasciata, C. munda, C. pilosa sinensis, and C. uchidai, are newly recognized in South Korea. The genus Colpotrochia Holmgren, 1856 is a large group of the subfamily Metopiinae, in Ichneumonidae, and contains 62 described species worldwide. Among them, nine species have been recorded from South Korea. The South Korean Colpotrochia was started from by Uchida in 1930. A comprehensive historical review of the faunal study of this genus in South Korea have been done by Kim and Japanese entomologists in the period of 1955-1966. In this study, diagnoses of four unrecorded species and illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided. The current total is 13 species of this genus known from South Korea.
