Unveiling hidden diversity: new records of Chaitophorus (Hemiptera, Aphididae) in Korea from historical specimens
Korean <i>Chaitophorus</i> aphids have been confirmed, including four new records: <i>C.horii</i> Takahashi, 1939; <i>C.leucomelas</i> Koch, 1854; <i>C.salijaponicus</i> Essig and Kuwana, 1918; and <i>C.tremulae</i> Koch, 1854. These four newly-recorded species are described with biometric measurements and illustrations. A modified taxonomic key for Korean <i>Chaitophorus</i> spp. is presented.
