  • The phylogeny of the family Tephritidae (Diptera: Tephritidae) was reconstructed from mitochondrial 12S, 16S, and COII gene fragments using 87 species, including 79 tephritid and 8 outgroup species. Minimum evolution and Bayesian trees suggested the following phylogenetic relationships: (1) A sister group relationship between Ortalotrypeta and Tachinisca, and their basal phylogenetic position within Tephritidae; (2) a sister group relationship between the tribe Acanthonevrini and Phytalmiini; (3) monophyly of Plioreocepta, Taomyia and an undescribed new genus, and their sister group relationship with the subfamily Tephritinae; (4) a possible sister group relationship of Cephalophysa and Adramini; and (5) reconfirmation of monophyly for Trypetini, Carpomyini, Tephritinae, and Dacinae. The combination of 12S, 16S, and COII data enabled resolution of phylogenetic relationships among the higher taxa of Tephritidae.

  • We here report nine species of Tephritidae and five species of Platystomatidae from North Korea deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (five new Korean records marked with asterisks): Acidiella pachypogon, Campiglossa $absinthii^*$, C. hirayamae, C. $loewiana^*$, Sphaeniscus atilius, Tephritis $brachyura^*$, Tephritis $sinensis^*$, Trupanea amoena, Xanthomyia $alpestris^*$, Rivellia alini, R. apicalis, R. asiatica, R. longialata, and R. nigroapicalis. Except for C. hirayamae, all other species are newly recorded in North Korea. As a result, a total of 22 tephritid and five platystomatid species are recognized for the North Korean tephritoid fauna. In South and North Korea together, a total of 120 nominal species of six tephritoid families are now officially recognized (1 Lonchaeidae, 1 Pallopteridae, 1 Ctenostylidae, 14 Platystomatidae, 14 Pyrgotidae, and 89 species of Tephritidae).

  • Philophylla heringi, sp. nov., and P. nigroscutellata(Hering) are described, illustrated, and distinguished from related species. These two species, both of which were collected from Kambaiti, Myanmar, closely resemble each other in external appearance, but show many differences in the female postabdominal structures. In addition, previous identification of P. nigroscutellata and P. bisecta Hardy and Adachi are elucidated based on a comparison of the holotypes of both species.

  • The phylogeny of the subfamily Tephritinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) was reconstructed from mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences using 53 species representing 11 currently recognized tribes of the Tephritinae and 10 outgroup species. The minimum evolution and Bayesian trees suggested the following phylogenetic relationships: (1) monophyly of the Tephritinae was strongly supported; (2) a sister group relationship between the Tephritinae and Plioreocepta was supported by the Bayesian tree; (3) the tribes Tephrellini, Myopitini, and Terelliini (excluding Neaspilota) were supported as monophyletic groups; (4) the non-monophyletic nature of the tribes Dithrycini, Eutretini, Noeetini, Tephritini, Cecidocharini, and Xyphosiini; and (5) recognition of 10 putative tribal groups, most of which were supported strongly by the statistical tests of the interior branches. Our results, therefore, convincingly suggest that an extensive rearrangement of the tribal classification of the Tephritinae is necessary. Since our sampling of taxa heavily relied on the current accepted classification, some lineages identified by the present study were severely under-sampled and other possible major lineages of the Tephritinae were probably not even represented in our dataset. We believe that our results provide baseline information for a more rigorous sampling of additional taxa representing all possible major lineages of the subfamily, which is essential for a comprehensive revision of the tephritine tribal classification.

  • A total of 56 genera and 101 species of the fly family Tephritidae have been previously recorded in Korea. As a result of an ongoing study of this family, I report the following ten additional species new to Korea: Actinoptera montana (Meijere, 1924), Actinoptera reticulata Ito, 1984, Campiglossa luxorientis(Hering, 1940), C. melanochroa (Hering, 1941), C. quadriguttata (Hendel, 1927), C. shensiana (Chen, 1938), Oxyna gansuica Wang, 1998, Tephritis jocaste Hering, 1953, Tephritis okera (Shinji, 1940), and Trupanea guttistella (Hering, 1951). Among the five genera involved here, the genus Actinoptera Rondani, 1871 is recognized for the first time in Korea. Therefore, 57 genera and 111 species are now officially recognized for the Korean tephritid fauna. For each newly recognized Korean species, I provide new Korean name, synonymy, taxonomic diagnosis and color photographs. When possible, I list the host records and discuss their intraspecific variability and sexual dimorphism.
