Abstract

Four new species of Lonchaeidae are described from South Korea namely Lonchaea baekje sp. nov., Lonchaea bicercosa sp. nov., Lonchaea goguryeo sp. nov. and Lonchaea silla sp. nov. A further two species Dasiops calvus Morge, 1959, and Lonchaea krivosheinae Kovalev 1973 are reported from South Korea for the first time. Notes are provided on the previously known species, a checklist and key to species are provided with illustrations of all the male genitalia. This brings the number of Lonchaeidae species recorded to eight in three genera.
