Abstract

In a taxonomic study of the genus Geodromicus Redtenbacher in South Korea, five species are recognized, two of which, G. abdominalis Zerche and G. beibienkoi Tikhomirova, are reported for the first time in South Korea, and G. hermani (Watanabe), previously recorded from South Korea, is reported as a misidentification of G. beibienkoi. A comparison of morphological features of South Korean Geodromicus species, a key, and illustrations of the diagnostic characters are provided.

Résumé

Dans une étude taxonomique du genre Geodromicus Redtenbacher en Corée du Sud, cinq espèces sont reconnaissons, dont deux, G. abdominalis Zerche et G. beibienkoi Tikhomirova, sont signalées pour la première fois en Corée du Sud. La signalisation de G. hermani (Watanabe), faite antérieurement en Corée du Sud, est en réalité une mauvaise identification de G. beibienkoi. Nous fournissons une comparaison des caractéristiques morphologiques des Geodromicus de Corée du Sud, ainsi qu’une clef d’identification et des illustrations des caractères diagnostiques.
