Epyris hangunensis Terayama 2005: 72 . Figs 111, 112 , 3 .

Material examined. Holotype 3, Korea: Suwon-si (labeled as Suigen), GG, 16.IX.1925, K. Sato leg. Paratype 1 3, same collection data as holotype.

Diagnosis. Body length ~ 4.4 mm ( Fig. 21 ); LFW ~3.0 mm ( Fig. 26 ). Antenna and legs dark castaneous. Head 1.1 × as long as wide ( Fig. 22 ), anterior half densely punctuate. Vertex broadly almost straight with rounded corners. Temple profile almost parallel. Mandible with single sharpened tooth ( Fig. 23 ). First five antennal segments in ratio of 1.9: 1.0: 1.3: 1.9: 2.0 in length, flagellomere 1 1.3 × as long as wide, flagellomere 11 3.9 × as long as wide ( Fig. 24 ). Clypeus with angulate median lobe. Eye hairy. HE 1.0 × OOL, WF 2.4 × WOT. Frontal angle of ocellar triangle obtuse. Pronotal disc 0.6 × as long as wide ( Fig. 25 ). Scutellar pit oval, each pit separated from each other by 2.0 × as its maximum diameter. Propodeal disc 0.7 × as long as wide with three discal carinae, median carina reaching posterior carina, submedian discal carinae reaching two thirds of disc length ( Fig. 27 ). Metacarpus short, 0.4 × as long as pterostigma; transverse-median vein strongly convex posteriorly ( Fig. 26 ).

Variation. Paratype with sparse hairs on eye; legs light to dark castaneous; TL 4.40–4.60 mm; propodeal disc 0.7–0.72 × as long as wide; scutellar pit separated from each other by 1.9–2.1 × as its maximum diameter.
