First records of the genera <i>Aclitus</i> and <i>Protaphidius</i> (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae) from South Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aphidiine genera Aclitus Förster, 1863 and Protaphidius Ashmead, 1900 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae) each contain only a few species worldwide. In this study, we report the first records of Aclitus and Protaphidius from Korea, based on specimens of Aclitussappaphis Takada & Shiga, 1974 and Protaphidiusnawaii (Ashmead, 1906).

New information

We provide detailed morphological characters, diagnostic characters, and photographic documentation for both species. A new host record, Hamamelistesbetulinus (de Horváth, 1896), of Aclitussappaphis is provided. To support species identification and future phylogenetic studies, mitochondrial (COI, COII, ND1, Cytb) and nuclear (28SD
