  • ABSTRACT

    The genus Setihercostomus Zhang & Yang, 2005 is reported for the first time in Korean fauna, with one unrecorded species, S. setifacies (Stackelberg, 1934). This genus can be easily classified alongside other genera in the subfamily Dolichopodinae by the presence of strong setae on the clypeus in both sexes. This genus is a small taxon comprising five species found in the Afrotropical, Oriental, and Palearctic regions. Newly recorded Korean names of genus and species, detailed morphological characteristics, and photographs of the first recorded species in Korea, along with a checklist and key to the species of this genus, are provided herein.
