A taxonomic review of the genus Atractomorpha Saussure in Korea is presented. Two species are identified, Atractomorpha lata (Motschulsky, 1866) and a new record A. sinensis Bolivar, 1905 which is reported from the far southern islands in Korea, Gageo-do and Jeju-do. A key, descriptions, habitus photographs of adults, and distributional information are provided.

In order to investigate the anti-inflammatory and cellular protective effects of Atractomorpha lata Motschulsky, Oxya japonica japonica Thunberg and Stethophyma magister Rehn, we first examined hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells as well as antioxidant assays including DPPH and FRAP assays. We found that water, ethanol and methanol extracts of Oxya japonica japonica Thunberg and Stethophyma magister Rehn had potentials to anti-oxidant activity and especially water extract of Oxya japonica japonica Thunberg exhibited the most potent protective effects against $H-2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells by MTT assay. Taken Together, these findings indicate that water extract of Oxya japonica japonica Thunberg could be useful insect resources for agrobiotechnological or oriental medicinal purposes.
