ANNALES HISTÜPvICO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Tomus 66. Budapest 1974. Drosophilidae (Diptera) from Korea* By T. OKADA, Tokyo Abstract — Taxonomic and faunistic studies of Drosophilidae from North Korea: of the 22 species one is new to science [Drosophila (Sophophora) pappi sp. n.] and the remaining 21 are new to N. Korea. — 2 figures. Through courtesy of Dr. LÁSZLÓ PAPP, I have had an opportunity of studying specimens of Drosophilidae of North Korea collected by the expeditions of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in 1970-1971. The first expedition was undertaken by Dr. S. MAHUNKA and Dr. II. STEINMANN in May to June, 1970, and the second by Dr. J. PAPP and Dr. S. HORVATOVICH in August to September, 1971. The collections comprise 419 flies, which belong to 22 species in 8 genera of Drosophilidae, including a new species of Drosophila. Only 3 species, Drosophila busckii COQUILLETT, D. melanogaster MEIGEN and D. virilis STURTEVANT, have hitherto been known from N. Korea, all recorded by KIKKAWA and PENG (1938). These 3 species are, however, not included in the present collections. As detailed collection data are given in MAHUNKA & STEINMANN (1971) and PAPP & HORVATOVICH (1972), merely major localities, with collection number in parentheses and number of specimens, are indicated for each species in the present report. I am much obliged to Dr. L. PAPP for sending me the material and precise collection data. My hearty thanks are also due to Dr. S. MAHUNKA, Dr. H. STEINMANN, Dr. S. HORVATOVICH, and Dr. J. PAPP, for collecting the material. 1. Leucophenga quinquemaculipennis OKADA Leucophenga (L.) quinquemaculipennis OKADA, 1956, Syst. Study Drosophilidae Jap.: 33 Specimen examined: Prov.
