Feltria (Feltria) zschokkei Koenike, 1896

Records from Korea: Gangwon Province – Chung and Kim (1991).

Remarak. The posterior margin of genital plate of the illustrated male specimen from Korea assigned by Kim and Chung (1991) is clearly concave, not deeply indented as in F. zschokkei . Due to the location of ventral setae on III­L­ 6 in the distal part, the specimen from Korea resembles F. brevipes Walter, 1907 (Europe) , but differs in less slender dorsal shield in the male (L/W 1.2, calculated from figure; Kim and Chung 1991: Fig. 7H ). The taxonomic status of these specimens should be verified by additional material.
