Abstract

Species of the genus Eopompilus Gussakovskij, 1932 from South Korea are reviewed. Three species are confirmed: E. internalis, E. luteus, and E. minor. Eopompilus luteus is recorded for the first time in Korea, and is easily separated from its congers by markedly extensive coloration and comparatively large body size in both sexes. Females are characterized by yellowish wing, light brown stigma and veins, lacking of subapical or apical dark fascia on forewing. Males are characterized by serrate antenna formed by submesal convex on each flagellomeres 2-11, symmetrical claws of fore tarsus, hypopygium widened basally and forming a rhomboid plate, lacking of dark fasciae in forewing. The specimen identified as Cryptocheilus nicevilli Bingham from Korea by Kim (1970) is examined and is reclassified as conspecific with E. luteus. A key is presented of the three species complemented by digital images and diagnosis.
