Abstract

A taxonomic study of the genus Hydrosmecta Thomson in Korea is presented. The genus is represented in Korea by three species including two new species, H. beolgokensis Lee & Ahn, sp. nov. and H. koreana Lee & Ahn, sp. nov. A key to Korean species, descriptions, and illustrations of habitus photographs and diagnostic characters are provided to facilitate identification.
