Three new species and two new records of the genus Aspilota Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from South Korea
Three new species of the genus Aspilota Foerster, 1863 s. str. (Braconidae: Alysiinae), are described and illustrated: A. angusticarinata sp. nov ., A. ocellocarinata sp. nov ., and A. laticlypeata sp. nov . Additionally, A. aniva Belokobylskij, 2007 and A. chanka Belokobylskij, 2007 are recorded for the first time from South Korea. We also analyzed the barcode region of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) for those five species. In addition, we provided an identification key for the Aspilota species recorded from Korea.
