Abstract

The genus Bitomus Szepligeti, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Opiinae) is known to parasitize in mining flies (Diptera: Agromyzidae), of which four species are recorded in Korea. Bitomus was revised by Fischer (1987, 1994) and recently treated by Papp (1978, 1981) in Korea. Bitomus is distinguished from other genera by the immovably joined second-third or fourth metasomal tergites, forming a carapace. In this study, Bitomus indicus is recognized for the first time in Korea. This study provides a diagnosis, description, distribution, and diagnostic illustrations.

굴파리과에 기생하는 종으로 알려진 Bitomus (갗고치벌속)는 한국에 4종 보고되어있다. Bitomus는 Fischer (1987, 1994)에 의해 개정되었고, Papp (1978, 1981)에 의해 한국에서 보고되었다. Bitomus는 움직이지 않게 연결된 마치 껍질과 같은 2-3번째 또는 4번째 복부마디로 다른 속들과 구별된다. 본 조사연구 결과로 Bitomus indicus를 국내 최초로 보고한다. 기술과 진단형질도판을 수록한다.
