Abstract

Apolygus subhilaris (Yasunaga 1992) is reported for the first time from the Korean peninsula, and a new host plant of A. watajii Yasunaga and Yasunaga 2000 is confirmed. Diagnostic characters to separate them from allied species are given with photos of dried specimens, male genitalia and live adults. A key to Korean Apolygus species is provided.
