Abstract

Xylophagids are a small group of dipterans with 133 known species worldwide except for in the Afrotropical region; they are composed of three subfamilies: Coenomyiinae, Rachicerinae and Xylophaginae. Their larvae are predatory and tend to be found under bark, soil or decaying wood. Hitherto, the following five species in three genera of Xylophagidae have been recorded in Korea: Anacanthaspis japonica Shiraki, Arthropeas sachalinensis Matsumura, Ar. sibirica Loew, Odontosabula czerskii (Pleske) and O. gloriosa Matsumura. In this paper, the awl fly genus Xylophagus Meigen, 1803 is reported from the Korean peninsula for the first time, based on the discovery of a newly recorded species, Xylophagus matsumurai Miyatake, 1965. Descriptions, illustrations of this previously unrecorded species and a key to the Korean species are provided herein.
