Notes.
Two females from Bak Sil Ji were identical to those earlier found in the Amur basin (see description in
Kotov et al. 2011b
) and preliminarily identified as
Ilyocryptus cf. raridentatus
Smirnov, 1989
. The latter species was described from
Australia
(
Smirnov 1989
). It belongs to a circumtropical
I. sarsi
-group (
Kotov & Štifter 2006
) quite common in such Asian countries like
Thailand
and
Malaysia
. The Amur basin is the northernmost border of its distribution in Asia (
Kotov et al. 2011b
). Some populations from this group were previously found in
Japan
and few localities in Far East of
Russia
(
Kotov & Štifter 2006
), but their status could be checked only in the scope of a global revision of the
sarsi
-group. Presence of this taxon in
Korea
was quite expected after findings in adjacent territories, including more northern ones in Far East of
Russia
.
