Catalogue of Korean Xyleborine ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) with seven new species

Abstract

A catalogue of the fauna of Korean Xyleborine species is provided with information on the Korean records, local and world distribution and taxonomy. The following seven new species and 11 newly recorded species are added to the Korean fauna: Cyclorhipidion laciniosum Park & Smith sp. nov., Cyclorhipidion triste Park & Smith sp. nov., Microperus molestus Park & Smith sp. nov., Xyleborinus kwangreungensis Park & Smith sp. nov., Xyleborus singhi Park & Smith sp. nov., Xylosandrus dentipennis Park & Smith sp. nov., Xylosandrus trunculus Park & Smith sp. nov., Cyclorhipidion fukiense (Eggers), Cyclorhipidion japonicum (Nobuchi), Cyclorhipidion laetum (Niisima), Diuncus haberkorni (Eggers), Dryoxylon onoharaense (Murayama), Euwallacea interjectus (Blandford), Microperus quercicola (Eggers), Xyleborus glabratus Eichhoff, Xyleborus muticus Blandford, Xyleborus ohtoensis Nobuchi, and Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff). Two new combinations, Euwallacea praevius (Blandford) comb. nov. and Dryocoetes longipilus (Eggers) comb. nov. (both from Xyleborus), are given. The record of Euwallacea minutus is removed from the Korean fauna.
