Two genera, Stenaesthetus Sharp and Octavius Fauvel (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Euaesthetinae), new to Korea
The subfamily Euaesthetinae Thomson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) includes six species of the genus Edaphus Motschulsky in South Korea. In this study, two genera, Stenaesthetus Sharp and Octavius Fauvel, are recorded in the Korean Peninsula for the first time based on S. sunioides Sharp and O. flavescens (Kistner), respectively. As a result, Korean euaesthetine genera and species have increased to three and eight, respectively. Redescriptions, habitus illustrations, diagnostic characters, and a distribution map for each species are provided.
