A new species of the Genus Galloisiana (Grylloblattodea, grylloblattidae) from Korea

Abstract

A new ice bug species, Galloisiana odaesanensis sp. nov., is described from Mt. Odae, Pyeongchanggun, Gangwon-do, South Korea. This species resembles the G. yuasai group in having a short body (less than 20 mm), distinct compound eyes, fewer than 35 antennomeres, and seven or eight cercomeres. The species is, however, clearly distinguished from the G. yuasai group by the following characters: slightly curved supra-anal plate with dull apical margin; rectangular pronoturn that is straight on the posterior; 3rd antennomere 1.7 times as long as the 2nd. The distribution of the genus Galloisiana is discussed and a key for Galloisiana species is presented.
