Redescription of oreurinus cuspidatus ito (diptera: Tephritidae)

Abstract

Oreurinus cuspidatus Ito, the type species of the monotypic genus Oreurinus Ito, is redescribed and illustrated in light of newly discovered male specimens from Korea. In Mt. Gachilbong, a number of males were found sitting on rocks along the mountain stream of deep woods, while only a single female was swept from nearby vegetation. Based on morphological data, especially using postabdominal structures, Oreurinus is placed in the Trypeta group of the subtribe Trypetina (Trypetinae: Trypetini).

Key words:

• Diptera
• Tephritidae
• Trypetini
• Oreurinus
