First records of Opius and Apodesmia (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Opiinae) from South Korea, with descriptions of newly-recorded species

<i>Opius youi</i> Li & van Achterberg, 2013 is recorded for the first time from South Korea, representing the first record of the species outside China. <i>Apodesmia incisula</i> Fischer, 1963 is also newly recorded from South Korea, constituting the first record of the species outside Europe, where it was previously known from Germany and the Netherlands. For each species, detailed morphological descriptions are provided, accompanied by diagnostic characters illustrated with photographs of the relevant body structures. The barcode region of mitochondrial <i>cytochrome c oxidase I</i> (<i>COI</i>) was also analysed for the species.
