Brentidae, a family of primitive weevils, is associated with dead woods mainly in the tropical rain forests and includes approximately 1,750 species worldwide. The genus Cyphagogus has been known more than 60 species from Madagascar to Samoa and Fiji islands and from Japan to Australia and Tasmania. Twelve species were previously recognized from Asia and Oriental region, among them three species from Japan, two from China. One male of the genus Cyphagogus was collected during faunal studies of wood-boring insects in the Gwangneung forest of South Korea in 2011. The species was identified as C. iwatensis Morimoto, which was described on two female specimens in 1976. This is the first discovery of the male of C. iwatensis as well as the first record of the genus and species in the country. Diagnosis and photographs of the detailed diagnostic characters including line drawing of male genitalia are provided in the present study, with a key to the East Asian species of bipunctatus-group.
바구미류의 섭식행동과 산란공을 파는 운동과 구기의 복합적인 구조를 알기 위해서는 원래의 위치에서의 복잡한 구기구조의 관찰이 행하여져야만 한다. 이러한 목적을 위하여 Brentidae의 바구미류에 대하여 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 구기를 본래의 위치에서 관찰하고, 여기에 해부에 의한 연구도 병행하여 얻은 구기구조에 대한 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 이과에 속하는 바구미는 아랫입술 수염이 퇴화되어 하순전기절의 꼭대기의 구멍에 위치하고 있다. 대악후관절구는 깊
