Hydropsyche athene Malicky & Chantaramongkol, 2000: 820 .

Type locality. China (Zhejiang) .

New Record: KOREA: Mt Pektusan , 18.vii.1977, Malaise trap, 2 km N Sam-zi-yan Hotel, left side of road to Explosion Lake, wooden habitat (O. Gy. Dely & Á. Dely-Draskovits) — 1 male ( NHMB) .

Remarks. The new record of this species is somehow unexpected. The type locality, lying at 28 ° northern latitude differs greatly climatically from the temperate locality of the new record in Northern Korea. There are significant differences in the illustrations of the genitalia of the specimens from the 2 localities, pending on the verge of a new species. The specimen from Korea has right angled intersegmental depression, not obtusely angled; the lateral gap between the apicoventral and apicodorsal setose lobes is U-shaped, not V-shaped; the dorsal interlobular gap is narrowly open, not widely open; the median keel on segment IX is long and narrowly triangular, not short and widely triangular; and the distal end of the harpagones is long and tapering, not obtuse. However, we find that one single specimen available for this new record is not enough to describe it as a new species.
