The subfamily Metopiinae Förster, 1869 currently includes 836 extant species in 26 genera. Among them, MetopiusPanzer, 1806 have been recored worldwide (Yu et al., 2012). Members of this genus are recorded in 41 species in the Eastern palaearctic, 15 species in China, and 11 species in Japan (Yu et al., 2012). The Korean species of MetopiusPanzer, 1806 belong to eight describe species, M. (M.) rufus browniAshmead, 1905, M. (C.) citratus citratus (Geoffroy, 1785), M. (C.) citratus trifasciatusUchida, 1930, M. (C.) hakiensisMatsumura, 1912, M. (C.) kiushuensisUchida, 1932, M. (P.) arakawaiUchida, 1930, M. (P.) coreanusUchida, 1930 and M. (P.) pocksungiKim, 1958, under three subgenera. Here, we report five unrecorded species for the first time from Korea. This genus is characterized by a face with a shield-shaped structure. Most species of the genus are endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera (Noctuidae) larva or pupa, but some species are parasitic toward Symphyta. Oviposition is in to the larva or nymph of the host (Parsons, F.S., 1940). Many species of parasites are also found on leaf rolling cartepillars. Female parasitoids enter into the leaf roll of the host for oviposition using well developed legs and oviposits with short ovipositors. These characteristics are contrasted by speices having relatively long ovipositor and leaf roller parasitoids that oviposit through the leaf roll (Andrew & Bennett, 2009). A taxonomic study of the Korean Metopius was initiated by Uchida (1930), who reported three species, M. (C.) citratus citratus (Geoffroy, 1785), M. (C.) citratus trifasciatusUchida, 1930 and M. (P.) coreanusUchida, 1930, as well as Uchida (1955), who recorded M. (M.) rufus browniAshmead, 1905 and M. (P.) arakawaiUchida, 1930. Kim (1955) reported M. (C.) hakiensisMatsumura, 1912, and Kim (1958) reported M. (P.) pocksungiKim, 1958. Townes et al., (1961) and Townes et al., (1965) made up a catalogue of Korean Metopius, Lee et al., (2000) reviewed existing eight Korean Metopius species.
In this study, we report five unrecorded species, M. (C.) maruyamensisUchida, 1930, M. (C.) scrobiculatusHartig, 1838, M. (P.) fossulatusUchida, 1933, M. (P.) pinatoriusBrullé, 1846 and M. (P.) sapporensisUchida, 1930. We also provide redescriptions, photos and a key to the Korean Metopius species.
Materials and Methods
Materials used in this study were collected by insect net sweeping and Malaise traps, after which they were deposited in the animal systematic laboratory of Yeungnam University (YNU, Gyeongsan, Korea). Specimens were examined by AxioCam MRc5 camera attached to a stereo microscope (Zeiss SteREO Discovery, V20; Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany). Digital images were gained using the AxioVision SE64 software (Carl Zeiss), and optimized with a Delta imaging system (i-solution; IMT i-Solution Inc., Vancouver, Canada). The morphological terminology is mostly that of Gupta and Maheshwary (1977).
