Abstract

A taxonomic study of Megarthrus Curtis in Korea is presented. The genus is represented in Korea by 10 species including M. coreanus Kim and Cuccodoro sp. nov.Megarthrus corticalis Sharp, M. fennicus Lahtinen, M. incubifer Cuccodoro, M. japonicus Sharp, M. montanus Sawada, M. sawadai Cuccodoro, and M. zerchei Cuccodoro and Löbl are reported from Korea for the first time. A diagnosis of the genus and a key to the Korean species are provided. The new species is diagnosed, described, and illustrated and the other species are diagnosed and illustrated. Species distributions are presented, and the effect of these Korean findings on the level of endemism of the Megarthrus fauna of Japan and Far East Russia is discussed.

Résumé

Nous présentons une étude taxonomique des Megarthrus Curtis de Corée. Le genre est représenté en Corée par 10 espèces, dont M. coreanus Kim et Cuccodoro sp. nov. Nous signalons pour la première fois en Corée la présence de M. corticalis Sharp, M. fennicus Lahtinen, M. incubifer Cuccodoro, M. japonicus Sharp, M. montanus Sawada, M. sawadai Cuccodoro et M. zerchei Cuccodoro et Löbl. Nous présentons une diagnose du genre et une clé de détermination des espèces coréennes. Nous donnons la diagnose, la description et des illustrations de la nouvelle espèce, ainsi que des diagnoses et des illustrations des autres espèces. Nous présentons les répartitions des espèces et discutons des effets de ces découvertes coréennes sur le niveau d'endémisme de la faune des Megarthrus du Japon et de la Russie d'Extrême Orient.
