(Figs 21–22) (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.11405034)

Neurotoma coreana Shinohara, 1980: 94; Shinohara & Byun, 1993: 79; Kim et al., 1994: 216; Shinohara & Lee, 1997: 214; Shinohara, 2002b: 418; Shinohara, 2004: 262; Paek et al., 2010: 161; Taeger et al., 2010: 82; Shinohara et al., 2018a: 595; Lee et al., 2019: 7; Shinohara & Tripotin, 2021a: 59.

Material examined. Fifty-two specimens, including the type series, all from South Korea (Shinohara 1980, Shinohara & Byun 1993, Shinohara & Lee 1997, Shinohara & Tripotin 2021a, present work). New collection data: SOUTH KOREA: Gyeonggi-do: 4♀ 7♂, Mt. Gwanggyosan, Suwon, 24. IV. 2000, H. S. Lee (NSMT). Gangwondo: 9♀ (incl. NSMT 30596), Ucheon-myeon, Wuwon, Hoensong-gun, 17–19. V. 2000, A. Ishizuka (NSMT).

Distribution. South Korea.

Host plant. Unknown. Shinohara & Byun (1993) and Shinohara (2002b) suggested that Quercus acutissima is the host plant of this species (see also Lee et al. 2019), but this association has not been proved.

Remarks. This Korean endemic species is a member of the N. atrata subgroup of the N. mandibularis group (Shinohara 2002b). In the present molecular analysis using COI, where nine Neurotoma species were treated, N. coreana was sister to N. mandibularis with the minimum p -distance of 6.8%. The clade ( N. coreana + N. mandibularis) was well supported by a 100% UFBoot value (Fig. 137).
