Taxonomic account The earliest description of Korean Listrodromini was of Neotypus coreensis Uchida and N. nobilitator orientalis Uchida Family Ichneumonidae Latreille, 1802 (Uchida, 1930). Kim (1955) added N. melanocephalus Gmelin Subfamily Ichneumoninae Latreille, 1802 from Korea. Townes et al. (1965) considered Kim (1955)’s Tribe Listrodromini Förster, 1869 N. melanocephalus to be a misidentification of N. coreensis Uchida. Key to the genera and species of the tribe Kim (1970), however, reported three Korean species with Listrodromini in Korea N. melanocephalus Gmelin. We examined Kim’s specimens and found that they could be identified as N. coreensis Uchida. 1 Malar space 1.0–1.2× as long as base of mandible; Subsequently, N. coreensis Uchida and N. nobilitator orientalis transverse furrow of pronotum with a large central keel Uchida have been reported from Korea.
