We report the unrecorded genus and species, Notopygus emarginatus Holmgren, 1857, for the first time from South Korea. The genus Notopygus is a parasitoid wasp of Pamphiliidae (sawfly) that can be distinguished by the posterior margin of metasomal tergite eight, which frequently project strongly upwards. In the study, we provide a description and photographs of newly recorded species.

A larval attack leading to severe loss to fruit production of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) was reported in the orchards in Gwangyang, Jeonnam province, South Korea during the spring seasons of 2018 and 2019. As the result of investigation, the damage was identified to be caused by Monocellicampa pruni Wei of the family Tenthredinidae. In this study, we present the first report of this pest in Korea and describe the damage caused by the larvae as well as taxonomic information by illustrating the characteristics of male genitalia.
