(

)
Diagnosis
. Males of this species are similar to those of
Lepidostoma niigataense
sp. nov.
(
Figs. 7–11
), but are clearly discriminated from the later by the small rectangular projection on the laterocaudal corner the main article of each inferior appendage (
Fig. 20
E, G).

Lepidostoma coreanum
Species Complex of the genus
Lepidostoma
. The plot in North Korea was referred from Kumanski & Weaver (1992).
Male
(
Fig. 20
). Antennae about 5.0 mm long, each with scape setose, thick and long, about 1.5 times as long as head, short mesal process near middle. Maxillary palps setose, each 2-segmented,
0.8 mm
long in total, long basal segment covered with short setae, short apical segment densely covered with long setae. Labial palps each 3- segmented, slender,
0.8 mm
long in total.
Wings covered with fine setae, short scales, and spindle-like setae; spindle-like setae lining cubital area; forewings each with apical forks 1 and 2, discoidal and thyridial cells, and arculus, costa curved anteriorly, venation of caudal area complex (
Fig. 20
C); hind wings each with apical fork 1, venation of caudal area complex (
Fig. 20
D); forewings and hind wings each
4.2–4.6 mm
long and about 4.0 mm long, respectively (n=3).
Genitalia
. Abdominal segment IX short. Segment X composed of mesal and lateral arms; mesal arms elongate posteriorly, lateral arms subtriangular, about 1/2 as long as mesal arms, both pairs of arms blunt apically. Ventral arms completely absent. Inferior appendages each composed of main article, dorsal hook, and inner hook; basal half of main article broad in lateral and ventral views with serrate posterior margin and small rectangular projection at postero-lateral corner; apical half of main article bar-like, directed posteromesad with spiny apex; dorsal hook directed laterad with subacute setose apex; inner hook much shorter than dorsal hook, bar-like, directed lateroposterad in ventral view. Phallic apparatus thick, membranous in apical half, with inner U-shaped sclerite, paramere absent.
Female and immature stages
. Unknown.
