Abstract

The genus Opius Wesmael, 1835 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Opiinae) generally parasitizes larvae of Agromyzidae, Anthomyiidae, Drosophilidae, Tephritidae, Ephydridae and Cecidomyiidae, of which 32 species are recorded in South Korea. In China, seven new species of the genus Opius have been known. Among them, Opius crenuliferus Li & van Achterberg, 2013 is reported for the first time in South Korea. Specimen was collected by sweeping in West Daeshin-dong, Busan, Korea. In this study, description, and diagnostic illustration of O. crenuliferus are provided.
