  • We found the large narcissus fly, Merodon equestris (Fabricius), which has been doubted to occur in Korea. This species is an economically important in management of narcissus and also of quarantine pests. We therefore provide the morphological diagnosis and DNA barcode sequences for rapid species identification of M. equestris based on the five Korean specimens.
