Abstract

Gonioctena koryeoensis sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae) is described based on adults, larvae, and pupae collected from the southeastern Korean Peninsula. The new species is easily distinguished from related species by coloration, size, length ratio of antennal segments, and shape of aedeagus. The larva and pupa are also distinguished from all other known species by the tubercle pattern and the apical processes of the ninth abdominal segment, respectively. Notes on distribution, host plant, and ovoviviparity are included.
