Abstract

Two new species of the genus Apolygus are described from the Korean Peninsula: A. rubrifasciatus sp. nov. and A. atriclavus sp. nov. Descriptions and diagnoses, and some biological information are presented with photographs and illustrations. A key to the Korean Apolygus species is also provided.
