Abstract

Odontepyris telortis sp. nov., an ectoparasitoid of the caterpillar of Telorta divergens (Butler) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is described and illustrated, based on twelve female specimens collected from Korea. After revising all known species, a key for the species of the genus Odontepyris is presented for the Eastern Palaearctic region.
