Hypopygium
(
Figs 4–5
,

). Tergite IX with anal point which like small rounded protuberance, and with 29–42 setae, 12–20 μm long; anal-lateral corners not or slightly elongated; laterosternite IX with 15–20 setae (from one side), 44–48 μm long. Transverse sternapodeme high, almost trapezoidal, 128–132 μm long and 148–152 μm wide in basal part, 88–100 μm wide in subapical part, with rounded apex. Gonocoxite 308–310μm long.
Basal lobe of gonocoxite is various shapes and depends on its position; in the inner half with microtrichia, along the outer margin with short setae; inferior volsella as in
Fig. 5
, covered by setae 40–60 μm long. Gonostylus 156 μm long, scoop-shaped; inner lobe along the margin with 5–9 megasetae 12–16 μm long and one subterminal tooth; outer lobe widely triangular, inner margin of which with strong setae 20–24 μm long, outer half with thinner and longer setae 56–72 μm long. HR 1.97.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS. The adult male of
K. lebetiformis koreana
subsp. n.
is separated from
K. lebetiformis lebetiformis
mainly in the features of hypopygium, namely anal point like small rounded protuberance, anal-lateral corners of tergite IX not or slightly elongated (
Fig. 9
), while male of
K. lebetiformis lebetiformis
with round triangular dark anal point and anal lateral corners of tergite IX elongated as narrow lobes to back (
Figs 6–8
). A more detailed comparative characteristic of these subspecies is given in
Table 1
, as well as in the results of DNA barcoding (
Fig. 10
).
DISTRIBUTION. This subspecies is known only from
South Korea
.
ETYMOLOGY. The subspecies is named as
koreana
after the
type
locality in
South
Korea.
