ANNALES HISTORICO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Tomus 65. Budapest 1973. Contribution to the Proturan Fauna of Korea* By G. IMÁDATÉ, Chiba (Japan) Abstract —Six Proturan (Acerentomidae ) species from N Korea are discussed and one new (Berberentulus durumagi, sp. n.) described. The Proturan fauna of Korea has been very poorly investigated. A single species, Nipponentomon nippon (Yosn) was known from Kosigul Cave, Prov. Kwangweon, as the only record of Korean Protura (IMÁDATÉ 1966). In 1970, the Hungarian Natural History Museum, in co-operation with the Zoological Research Institute of the Korean Academy of Sciences, made a preliminary survey of the Korean fauna. Among the zoological specimens collected by the expedition, 15 Proturan specimens were included. I was given opportunity to examine them through the courtesy of Dr. S. MAHTJNKA of the Hungarian Natural History Museum and his colleagues, to whom I wish to express cordial thanks. Ah 15 specimens belong to the family Acerentomidae and represent six species, including one new as follows : No. 24**—Sa-gam po (Prov. South Phenan), 24 V 1970, Berberentulus morikawai (IMÁDATÉ et Yosn) 1 çf. No. 50-2. Environs of the Hotel Go-song, Kum-gang san (Prov. Kanwon), 29 V 1970. Nipponentomon nippon (Yosn) 3 9 an d 1 preimago (rf) ; N. ueoni uenoi IMÁDATÉ et Yosn 2 çf and 3 9;^- morikawai 1 9 • No. 55-1/2. Sam-il po, Kum-gang san (Prov. Kanwon), 29 V 1970, Acerella shirampa IMÁDATÉ 1 9 • No. 55-3. Ditto, 29 V 1970, Berberentulus durumagi sp. n. 1 çf and 1 9 • No. 63. Man-mul san, Kum-gang san (Prov. Kanwon), 30 V 1970, N. uenoi uenoi 1 9' Yamatentomon takanawanum (IMÁDATÉ) 1 91. Acerella shirampa IMÁDATÉ, 1964 — Foretarsus 83 a in length, TR == 2.5. Compared with Japanese specimens, the Korean female from Sam-il po (55-1/2) differs only in its slightly longer empodium (EU = 0,15; 0.12-0.14 in Japanese adults) and in the position of the foretarsal sensilla a', which is slightly proximal to t-2. These differences are regarded as within the infraspecific variation. Distribution: Japan; new to Korea. 2. Yamatentomon takanawanum (IMÁDATÉ, 1956) — Foretarsus 124 u in length, TR =2.8. All the specific features of the Korean female from Man-mul san (63) are similar to those of Japanese specimens. Distribution: Japan; new to Korea. * Zoological Collectings by the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Korea, No. 11. Participans Dr. S. MANUNKA and Dr. H.
