Introduction Enemies (SMNE), Geochang, Korea. The specimen was photo- graphed with Leica DMS 1000 using the Leica Application Suite Pygostolus Haliday is a small genus of the subfamily Euphorinae. [Leica Camera; Aktiengesellschaft (AG), Wetzlar, Germany]. Ter- The genus contains five species in the Holarctic region (Yu et al minology used in this paper follows van Achterberg (1993). Ab- 2012). Several undescribed Neotropical species have been breviations used in this study are as follows: SMNEdScience collected to date (Shaw 1985). In the present study, the genus is Museum of Natural Enemies, GWdProv. Gangwon. reported for the first time from Korea, with a newly recorded species, Pygostolus falcatus (Ness). Systematic accounts Pygostolus mainly parasitizes adults of Curulionidae, less Family Braconidae Nees, 1811 commonly adults of Chrysomelidae, and, as frequently reported, Subfamily Euphorinae Foerster, 1862 the larva of microlepidoptera (Loan and Holdaway 1961; van 1992; Chen and van Achterberg 1997).
