Abstract

The genus Caenoscelis C. G. Thomson includes 31 species spread throughout the Palearctic realm, New World, and Ethiopia, but only a single species, Caenoscelis sibirica Reitter, has been recorded in the Korean Peninsula to this point. This study reports two additional species, Caenoscelis koreanus Shin, Park, Lee, and Park, new species and Caenoscelis ferruginea (C. R. Sahlberg), in the Korean Peninsula. Illustrations of their habitus, male genitalia, and diagnostic characters, as well as collection localities and a key to the Korean Caenoscelis species, are provided.
