Abstract

The genus Brachydeutera Loew, 1862 comprises a small group of Acalyptratae flies belonging to the subfamily Ephydrinae of the family Ephydridae. So far, 16 described species have been recorded worldwide, and although the genus occurs in all fauna regions, it is most diverse in the subtropics and tropics, particularly in Africa and Asia. This genus has been recorded for the first time in the Korean fauna based on the discovery of a nominated species, B. meridionalis (Rondani, 1856). This paper provides the diagnosis, the morphological features, and an ecological photograph of the first recorded species.

Brachydeutera Loew, 1862(코주부물가파리속, 신칭)는 물가파리과, 물가파리아과에 속하는 작은 분류군이다. 지금까지 이 속에는 전 세계적으로 16종이 기록되어 있으며, 모든 동물구계에서 발견되지만 아열대 및 열대 지방, 특히 아프리카와 아시아에서 종 다양성이 풍부하다. 본 연구를 통해 Brachydeutera속을 국내 미기록종 B. meridionalis (Rondani, 1856)(코주부물가파리, 신칭)과 함께 처음으로 보고하며, 이 종에 대한 진단형질, 형태학적 사진 및 생태사진을 제공하였다.
