Abstract

A new species is described belonging to the subgenus Sabikikorius of Agrypnus, Agrypnus (Sabikikorius) uidoensis sp. nov., and isolated from the sand dunes of Ui-do Island, Korea. A key to the species is given with distributional information for each species of this subgenus. Sequencing data of the mitochondrial genes encoding COI (cytochrome c oxidase I) and 16S rDNA (16S ribosomal DNA) are also provided.
