The genus Norbanus Walker 1843 (Pteromalidae: Pteromalinae) consists of 38 species distributed worldwide. Among them, 13 species have been described from the West and Central Palaearctic (Noyes 2003). Norbanus is one of several pteromalid genera that shares the character of a narrow spicula on the clava. In Korea, only one species in the genus Norbanus is recorded. In this study, we report Norbanus meridionalis for the first time in South Koera. We provided description and diagonostic illustration of Norbanus meridionalis.

Asaphinae Ashmead, 1904 are the smallest subfamily in Pteromalidae and currently include 27 extant species of 6 genera. Up to date, only 2 species, Asaphes suspensus (Nees) and A. vulgaris Walker, have been recorded from South Korea. Among them A. vulgaris Walker is suspected of misidentified due to several reasons. Hyperimerus Girault, a small genus of the subfamily Asaphinae, consists of two world-wide species. It is close to Asaphes Walker but is separated by the following characteristics: antenna with one anelliform segment; scutellar frenum not distinct; petiole transverse. In this study, we report genus Hyperimerus based on Hyperimerus pusillus (Walker) for the first time from South Korea and Eastern Palearctic region. Also, a key to the genera of Asaphinae from South Korea, diagnosis, photographs of each species and taxonomic note of A. vulgaris Walker are provided.

Pteromalinae Dalman, 1820 are the largest subfamily in Pteromalidae and currently include 2,073 extant species of 314 genera. This group is probably difficult to define taxonomically. Members of this subfamily are endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera, Diptera and Coleoptera larvae and pupae. Up to date, only 46 species of 30 genera belonging to five subfamilies have been recorded from South Korea. As a result of this study, we reported 25 unrecorded species of 13 genera for the first time from South Korea. Therefore, 71 species of 43 genera in Pteromalinae are recorded from South Korea.

The family Pteromalidae are one of the numerous and economically important groups of parasitoids, but our knowledge of this group in South Korea is limited. Up to date, only 39 species of 27 genera belonging to five subfamilies have been recorded from south Korea. This study is based on the material from the Applied Entomology Division, Department of Agricultural Biology, National Academy of Agricultural Science (NAAS) and Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, South Korea (YNU). As a result of this study, four species (Diglochis sylvicola (Walker), Lariophagus obtusus Kamijo, Mokrzeckia lazoensis Tselikh, Paracarotomus cephalotes Ashmead,) in Pteromalinae are recorded for the first time in South Korea. Among them two genera (Diglochis Förster, Paracarotomus Ashmead,) recorded for the first time in South Korea. Therefore, 43 species of 29 genera in Pteromalidae are recorded from South Korea.

쌀바구미에 적응된 기생봉 Anisopteromalus calandrae를 대체기주인 팥바구미에서 누대 사육하면서 기생천적의 대체기주에 대한 적응과 그의 과정을 조사하였다. A. calandrae기 대체기주에 적응, 안정된 생활사 특성을 보이기까지 2세대가 경과하였다. 성충수명은 단축되어 1세대에서 8.7일을 보였으나 2세대 이후에는 5.7~7.3일의 범위를 나타내었으며 총 산란수는 1세대에서 29.37.7에서 2세대 이후 43.9~68.2의 범위로 증가하였다. 따라서 내적 자연 증가율, 순증가율은 증가하였으며, 개체군 배가 기간은 짧아졌다. 팥바구미에 대한 탐색효율은 적응 전후에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 탐색효율의 변이계수가 감소하는 현상을 보여 탐색행동이 안정됨을 암시하였다. A. calandrae는 팥바구미에 적응된 이후에도 쌀바구미에 대한 탐색효율이 감소되지는 않았다.

쌀바구미좀벌은 쌀바구미의 3영유충과 4영유충에 생난, 기생하였으며, 4영유충에 대해 현저한 선호성을 보였다. 기주가 4영유충일 때의 성비가 3영유충일 때에 비해 유의하게 높아서 생난시 암컷에 의해 인식되는 기주의 크기에 따라 좀벌의 성비가 조걸됨을 암시하였다.

An exotic parasitic wasp Anisopteromalus apiovorus of Pteromalidae was newly recorded in Korea. Specimens of this species have been collected in Gimhae of Korea since 2012. External morphology of this species was described in detail and diagnostic differences of this species from the related species and the host insect were also given. The funicle segments of female antennae are 1.2 to 1.5 times longer than those of Anisopteromalus calandrae, an sister species. Body color is gold-glossy black and with dense creamy-white hairs on the surface. This exotic species has been originated from the African continent including Democratic Republic of Congo and Cote d'Ivoire, and then intruded into other countries, for instance, Korea. This is the first distribution record of this species except the country of origin after original description as a new species. Although little is known about the life history or ecology of this species, we found that a new host of this small parasitic wasp is Lasioderma serricorne of coleoptera through present study. And this species possibly be a new agent of biological control for economic pests. It was presumed that the invasion of Anisopteromalus apiovorus into Korea was prior to November of 2012.
