Abstract

Bradina admixtalis (Walker, 1859) is recognized from South Korea for the first time. A diagnosis, description, photographs of main characters including adult habitus and male genitalia, and COI barcode sequences are provided. The Korean specimens were identified based on external morphology and male genitalia. Comparison with publicly available COI barcode sequences showed that the Korean specimens were placed in a lineage with other Korean and South Asian samples, while sequences currently assigned to B. admixtalis were divided into several divergent lineages. These results indicate the need for further taxonomic examination of B. admixtalis-like specimens from different regions.
