The family Proctotrupidae Latreille, 1802 is recorded for the first time in Korea. As a result of a taxonomic study of the Korean Proctotrupidae, two species Disogmus areolator and Phaneroserphus calcar are reported. A key to the species, redescriptions, and photographs for diagnostic characters are provided.

The South Korean species of family Proctotrupidae Latreille, 1802 (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupoidea) are studied. Here, seven proctotrupid species are newly added in the South Korean fauna: Cryptoserphus aculeator (Haliday), Disogmus basalis (Thomson), Mischoserphus arcuator (Stelfox), M. samurai (Pschorn-Walcher), Nothoserphus scymni (Ashmead), Proctotrupes gravidator (Linnaeus), and Tretoserphus laricis (Haliday). Which of them, four genera belonging to the tribes Cryptoserphini and Proctotrupini (Cryptoserphus, Mischoserphus, Proctotrupes, and Tretoserphus) are also newly recorded from South Korea. A key to genera of South Korean Proctotrupidae, diagnosis, photographs, distribution, and recorded hosts for each species are presented. All proctotrupid specimens were kept in the collections of the Geolim Entomological Institute, Daegu, South Korea.

A taxonomic study of the Palearctic species of the genus Brachyserphus is presented. Two species are newly described as B. acuticaudatus sp. n. and B. semipunctatus sp. n. from South Korea and the Russian Far East. B. striatopropodeatus (Kolyada 1997 syn. n.) is synonymized under B. lucens (Provancher 1883) and a key to the Palearctic species is provided.

Two species of the genus Parthenocodrus Pschorn-Walcher, 1958 (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupidae) are reported: P. elongatus from Japan and South Korea and P. puncticauda from South Korea. Parthenocodrus elongatus is easily distinguished by having posterior surface of propodeum without transverse carinae and ovipositor sheath with distinct longitudinal striations. Parthenocodrus puncticauda is easily distinguished by having posterior surface of propodeum with transverse carinae and ovipositor sheath without distinct longitudinal striations. This genus is also newly recorded in each country. Redescriptions and photographs of the diagnostic characters are provided. All specimens for this study are deposited in the Yeungnam University (YNU), Gyeongsan-si, South Korea.

Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), important pests of agricultural crops in Korea, including eggplant and potato, were collected in the Kyonggido area each summer from 1983 to 1986. Data were recorded for rates of parasitism against each host stage and seasonal activity. The parasitoids NothoserPhus afissae (Watanabe), (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupidae), Uga menoni (Kerrich), (Hymenoptera: Cha1cididae), and Pediobius foveolatus (Crawford), (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) were reared from the host insects. A solitary larval parasitoid, N. afissae, was reared from 2nd to 4th instar brval hosts, with parasitism being highest in the 3rd instar collection. U. menoni, a solitary larval-pupal parasitoid, was reared from 3rd instar larvae to pupae, and parasitism was highest in the pupal collection. N. afissae and U. menoni occurred during June to September. N. afissae showed relatively high parasitism during the entire study period as compared with other species, while parasitization by U. menoni was highest in July. P. foveolatus, a gregarious larval parasitoid, did not generally appear until September, although it appeared in early August in the southern part of Korea. The number of P. foveolatus emerging from a mummy varied, ranging from 7 to 26 (mean = 13. 8).
