A Taxonomic Study of the Scaly Cricket Family Mogoplistidae (Orthoptera: Ensifera: Grylloidea) in Korea

Exhibition & Education Division, National Institute of Biological Resources, Gyeongseo-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, 404-170, Korea
Orthoptera taxonomy Mogoplistidae Ectatoderus Ornebius Korea

Abstract

The little-known scaly cricket family Mogoplistidae is reviewed for Korea for the first time. Three members are confirmed: Ectatoderus tamna sp. nov. is newly described from Jejudo Island; Ornebius bimaculatus (Shiraki, 1930) is newly recognized from Marado Island, a small island near Jejudo Island; and Ornebius kanetataki (Matsumura, 1904) is reconfirmed. A key to the species, descriptions, photographs, and figures are provided for their identification. All type and voucher specimens are deposited in the Entomological Collection of the National Institute of Biological Resources.
