Phorinia breviata Tachi and Shima, 2006 View in CoL *

Phorinia breviata Tachi and Shima, 2006: 260 View in CoL . Type locality: Japan, Fukuoka Pref., Fukuoka City, Mt. Aburayama .

Material examined: North Korea, Kangvǒn-do Prov. , Kumgang-san Mts. , Onjong-ri near Kymgan-san hotel, 28. 08. 1987, 1 male, leg. E. Kierych.

Distribution: Palaearctic: Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Tsushima Island). Oriental and Oceanian regions ( Tachi and Shima 2006). First record from Korea.

Remarks: In the first version of this paper I have given the information that among the specimens examined I found male belonging to the Phorinia aurifrons Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (after the Key to the insects of Russian Far East. Vol. VI. Diptera and Siphonaptera. Pt 3. Vladivostok. 2004. 124. Fam. Tachinidae . Richter: 197-198). However, one of reviewers, in his comments wrote: ” Phorinia aurifrons Robineau-Desvoidy (…) is considered to be misidentified from East Asia by some authors (see Tachi & Shima 2006, O’Hara et al. 2009, Shima 2014). The author is recommended to confirm identification of this species. If the species P. aurifrons really occurs in North Korea, it is very interesting”.

My repeated examination of the specimen from Korea confirmed the suspicions of reviewer. Finally, I decided that it was P. breviata Tachi and Shima.
