한국산 애기버섯벌레과(Ciidae, Leach)에 속한 애기버섯속(Cis Latreille) 분류학적으로 검토하였다. 이 속에 속한 Cis boleti (Scopoli, 1763); Cis seriatopilosus Motschulsky, 1861; Cis mikagensis Nobuchi & Wada, 1955; Cis jezoensis Nobuchi, 1960; Cis sasajii Kawanabe, 2001; Cis hieroglyphicus Reitter, 1877 등 6종을 국내에서 처음으로 분류학적으로 검토하여 보고하였다. 또한 야외관찰과 실내사육을 통해 6종에 대한 숙주버섯을 처음으로 밝혀 보고 하였다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 한국산 애기버섯벌레속에 대한 분류학적 정보와 더불어 한국산 종들의 숙주버섯에 대한 생태적 정보를 제공하였다.

Mycetophagids, the family of primitive tenebrionoid beetles, are commonly fugivorous. They mainly feed and inhabit in the fruiting bodies of higher fungi, fungus-grown bark, and moldy vegetative materials. Some species are associated with a large variety of moldy substances and are found both outdoors in natural environments and indoors in association with a variety of stored products. They are not serious pests, and their presence is usually indicative of poor storage conditions and moldy produce. There are only five Mycetophagidae species previously recorded for Korea, Mycetophagus antennatus (Reitter 1879), M. ater (Reitter, 1879), M. hillerianus Reitter, 1874, Typhaea pallidula Reitter, 1874, and T. stercorea (Linnaeus 1758). In the course of this study, 60 specimens from 12 sites of Korean Mycetophagidae were examined. We reviewed taxonomically four genera and nine species in Korea. Among them, four species including Eulagius ussuriensis Nikitsky, 1988, Litargus japonicus Reitter, 1877, Mycetophagus irroratus (Reitter,1879), and Mycetophagus pustulosus (Reitter,1889) are newly recorded in Korea. We also obtained additional bionomic data for the seven species including their host fungi and habitat based on field observations and laboratoryrearing data in part.

버섯에서 서식하는 한국산 도깨비거저리속(Boletoxenus Motschulsky)을 미기록종 아기도깨비거저리[Boletoxenus incurvatus (Lewis)]를 포함하여 총 2종으로 재검토하였다. 또한, 아기도깨비거저리의 숙주버섯을 처음으로 밝혀 보고하였다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 한국산 도깨비거저리속에 대한 분류학적 정보와 더불어 한국산 종들의 숙주버섯에 대한 생태적 정보를 제공하였다.

A taxonomic review of the fungivorous tetratomid beetles in Korea, which comprises four species belonging to two genera of two subfamilies, is presented. Three species, Holostrophus (Paraholostrophus) orientalis Lewis, 1895 and two newly recorded species, Pisenus insignis (Reitter, 1889) and Holostrophus diversefasciatus Pic, 1921, are identified and described herein. A photograph of adults, diagnoses, illustrations of diagnostic characteristics, and ecological information regarding habitat, and host fungi are provided.

The beetle family Ciidae, represented by Octotemnus laminifrons Motschulsky, 1860 and Octotemnus japonicus Miyatake, 1954 is presented for the first time in Korea. The beetle family Ciidae Leach is a relatively moderate family, which comprises about 640 described species in 42 genera worldwide. This family is distributed throughout the world. Ciids are minute fungus-feeding beetles, which are associated with the mycelia and fruiting bodies of wood-rotting fungi. These beetles are considered mycetobiont because they depend upon the basidiocarps for food and breeding throughout their life span. And also ciids are important components of the saproxylic fauna of many forests ecosystems and a number of species are considered rare or threatened and are associated with old growth forests or undisturbed forest conditions. A habitus photographs of adults, description, illustrations of diagnostic characters, and host fungi are provided.
