Abstract

A cuckoo wasp species Nipponosega yamanei Kurzenko & Lelej is recorded in Korea for the first time. Of the two forms known from Japan, it is more similar to yamanei-form than kantoensis-form: eye margin almost evenly rounded in frontal view. The species of the two subfamilies, Chrysidinae and Cleptinae, have been listed for the Korean fauna. This species is the first representative of the third subfamily Amiseginae in Korea. It is known to be endemic to Japan. Thus, the distributional range of this species has been extended to the continental part herein. A description is made for further morphological comprehension on the basis of Korean materials.
