Vol. 29, No. 1: 56-69, January 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.5635/ASED.2013.29.1.56 Short communication A Checklist of the Families Lonchaeidae, Pallopteridae, Platystomatidae, and Ulidiidae (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritoidea) in Korea with Notes on 12 Species New to Korea Ho-Yeon Han* Division of Biological Science and Technology, Yonsei University, Wonju 220-710, Korea ABSTRACT A preliminary list of the following four tephritoid families is provided including 30 Korean species, of which 12 are new to Korea: two Lonchaeidae, three Pallopteridae (two new to Korea), 17 Platystomatidae (two new to Korea), and eight Ulidiidae (all new to Korea). This list is mainly based on the insect collection at the Yonsei University Wonju Campus and on previous publications concerning these taxa. Although a full taxonomic revision for each family is required in the long term, this preliminary list will provide a useful starting point to further investigation of these families. For the other three tephritoid families known in Korea but not treated in the present study, 89 species of Tephritidae, 14 species of Pyrgotidae, and one species of the rare family Ctenostylidae have been reported previously. A total of 134 species in seven families are officially recognized for the Korean fauna of the superfamily Tephritoidea. Keywords: Tephritoidea, Lonchaeidae, Pallopteridae, Platystomatidae, Ulidiidae, Korea INTRODUCTION For the other three tephritoid families known in Korea but not treated in the present study, Han and Kwon (2000, 2010) The Tephritoidea is a large superfamily of ten acalyptrate reported 89 species of Tephritidae, Kim and Han (2009) re- fly families including over 7,300 described species world- ported 14 species of Pyrgotidae, and Han (2006) reported a wide (Korneyev, 1999; Han and Ro, 2005): the Lonchaeidae, single species of the rare family Ctenostylidae. Therefore, Piophilidae, Pallopteridae, Eurygnathomyiidae, Richardiidae, 134 species in seven families are now officially recognized Ulidiidae, Platystomatidae, Pyrgotidae, Ctenostylidae, and for the Korean fauna of the superfamily Tephritoidea. Tephritidae. Except for the Piophilidae, Eurygnathomyiidae and Richardiidae, a total of seven families have been report- ed in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS A preliminary list of the following four families is provid- ed including 30 Korean species, of which 12 are new to The Korean specimens used in this study were deposited at Korea: two Lonchaeidae, three Pallopteridae (two new to the Division of Biological Science and Technology, Yonsei Korea), 17 Platystomatidae (three new to Korea), and eight University, Wonju, Korea (YSUW). The abbreviations of the Ulidiidae (all new to Korea). This list is mainly based on the other institutions mentioned in the text are as follows: DEI, insect collection at the Yonsei University Wonju Campus Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Deutschen Akademie and on previous publications concerning these taxa. Although der Landwirtswissenschaften zu Berlin, Germany; HNHM, a full taxonomic revision for each family is required in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary; long term, this preliminary list will provide a useful starting HUS, Entomological Institute, Faculty of Agriculture, Hok- point to further investigate these families.
