  • 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.

  • Allozyme variation of seven enzyme systems was analyzed from 202 individuals from four Korean populations of Atractomorpha lata. These populations exhibit higher levels of values of in most other insects with a mean 64% of polymorphic loci and a mean 0.384 of expected heterozygosity within populations. Fixation indices indicated considerable substructuring within populations sampled (mean $F_{is}=0.403)$, indicating probable inbreeding or assortative mating coupled with restricted migration between subpopulations. This was supported by the field observation that the species exists as small, discrete colonies in meadow habitats and females carry males. In addition, significant differences in allere frequencies between males and females at polymorphic loci examined (70%, 16 of 23 cases) could account for the observed heterozygote deficiencies.
