Review of the genus Apristus Chaudoir (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Korea

Abstract This study was conducted to review the genus Apristus , which has been poorly known in Korea until now, comprising only one species, A. striatus Motschulsky. In this article, we reviewed the genus with the detail diagnostic characters. Among them, A . cuprascens Bates is recorded in Korea for the first time. In addition, a key to the Korean Apristus species is provided with new points of easy identification of this genus using drawing and photos, including the redescription and diagnostic characters.
