Ruud van der Weele (SNUM); 1♀, Hills of Budapest, 09.vii.1992, coll. Ruud van der Weele (SNUM).</p> <p>Etymology. From Latin word tenebrosum (=dark), referring to the distinctive black coloration among congeners.</p> <p>Distribution. South Korea (Gangwon-do, Gyeonggi-do)</p> <p>Remarks. This new species can be confused with Rainieria calceata (Fallén, 1820) due to overall coloration, the shape of the male S5, and female sternite shape. However, it is easily distinguished from R. calceata by the following characteristics: uniformly dark brown hind tarsomeres; differences in the curvature of arm, narrower cleft of the fork, and short stout setae of uniform density in male S5 (Fig. 5B–C); oval-shaped blade of ejaculatory apodeme; shorter epandrium and distal distiphallus; phallic bulb almost reaching the base of epandrium, which in calceata only reaches the middle half of the epandrium (Fig. 5F); presence of short plate of hypandrium; blunter tip of distal distiphallus, which in calceata is distinctively sharpened (Fig. 5F).</p> <p>Biology. As in many Taeniapterinae, this new species is an apparent mimic of Ichneumonidae morphologically and behaviorally (Marshall 2012). A number of individuals were observed at a shaded forest edge performing a foreleg-waving behavior to imitate the antennae of Ichneumonidae. In several field surveys, this species was found feeding on the flowing sap of Quercus cf. dentata Thunb. and Zelkova serrata (Thunb.), plus a wet decaying plant mass.</p> <p>Observed mating behavior involves courtship dance, bubbling and fluid exchange, and inter-sex competition. Copulation is triggered by the male following the female while moving its abdomen up and down vigorously. If the female is unresponsive, the males were observed to forcefully mate by grabbing the female with its front legs while approaching from behind. When the female allows mating, it lowers the body and opens the wings perpendicularly to the body. The male then uses the genital fork to ‘hook’ the female’s oviscape and lifts it to face the male’s genital segment, followed by the insertion of the aedeagus. The male engages in ‘kissing’ the female’s frons and labium repeatedly while shaking up and down vigorously, in which the female assists by facing its labium upwards (Fig. 2F). This kissing behavior involves the exchange of fluid between the pair, and the sex which offers the regurgitated fluid (Fig. 2E) and the one which imbibes the fluid produced by its partner switch multiple times during mating. The pair often enters a stationary phase where they do not engage in noticeable behaviors. After the copulation is over, the female would try to push the male away with its front legs and the male is often dragged behind the female before dissociation. Copulation was recorded to last over 20 minutes, excluding courtship.</p> <p>The pleural sac of the male is inflated during courtship and mating, which possibly denotes a pheromone dispersing as suggested by Marshall (2012). If another individual approaches the mating pair, the male or the female would use its middle leg to wave off the intruder (Fig. 2G). Multiple mating incidents involving noticeable size difference among the opposite sex was observed (Fig. 2C–D).</p> <p>Currently known oviposition preference of Rainieria species includes Ulmus americana L. (Ulmaceae), Fagus sp. (Fagoideae), Betula sp. (Betulaceae), and Abies sp. (Pinaceae) (Sabrosky 1942; Krivosheina &amp; Krivosheina 1996; Skidmore 2005). In our field observation, the females oviposited on a narrow cleft between the live and decomposing tissue of a standing Quercus cf. dentata Thunb. (Fig. 2H) and recently logged unidentified Quercus species. It is possible that oviposition on this particular site is preferred since the mix of a constant supply of tree sap and the decomposing tissue can provide both the nutrient and the substrate for the larvae to develop. Individual females were found on a dead fallen Carpinus laxiflora (Siebold &amp; Zucc.) (Betulaceae), possibly searching for an oviposition site. At an optimal site, the ‘aggregation oviposition’ was observed, where up to 15 individuals oviposited at a small patch (Fig. 2H). Subtle competition among females, often waving their legs to deter other individuals, was observed in such sites.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D3758E210A67FF9EFF01375CE740ABDF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In our field survey, multiple individuals were found on a bark of recently logged Quercus tree at Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do. Territorial behavior and feeding behavior similar as mentioned above under R. tenebrosa were observed.</p> <p>Remarks. Li et al. (2012b) mention that the key morphological character of this species is the three frontal bristles, from which the species name triseta was derived. Close examination of the Korean specimens (SNUM) showed that the number of frontal bristles varied between 1–3, even between individuals bearing the same collection data. Accounting for the fact that these specimens with the varying number of frontal bristles shared the same male S5 shape with superficial differences, we conclude that specimens with only 1 or 2 frontal bristles can also be regarded as R.triseta. In addition, the description and the Figure 12 in Li et al. (2012b) shows that the short stout setae of the male S5 are connected at the base of the fork. All Korean specimens dissected in this study showed that the setae of each arm are actually separated by a shallow basal cleft (Fig. 5A). Accounting for the general male S5 morphology in subfamily Taeniapterinae (Marshall 2017, 2022), the basal cleft was most probably overlooked in Li et al. (2012b) ’s drawing.</p> <p>Based on examinations of the Korean specimens (SNUM) sharing identical morphological features with the original description, it was possible to observe a characteristic desclerotization and reduction of the S3–4 of females (Figs. 6C–D). Furthermore, as in the Figure 6 in Li et al. (2012b), distinct triangular white patch of the pleural membrane of female was observed. These characteristics of the female abdomen readily distinguishes R.triseta from its congeners and therefore serves as a useful identification character.</p> <p>When following the key provided in Krivosheina &amp; Krivosheina (1996) for the genus Rainieria, this species keys out to Rainieria latifrons (Loew, 1870) due to the presence of yellowish-brown ring of the extreme base of femora, and the uniform length of short, stout setae on the inner side of the arm in male sternite 5. However, examination of the R. triseta specimen collected from Korea revealed that these diagnostic characteristics are shared between the species, thus is not sufficient in distinguishing the two. Furthermore, the interpretation of the ‘ Rainieria latifrons ’ by Krivosheina &amp; Krivosheina (1996) is in discord with the interpretation of this species based on European materials in several studies (Kurina 2004; van der Weele 1998), especially on the wing coloration. Krivosheina &amp; Krivosheina (1996) have mentioned R.latifrons as having ‘Median band of wing wide, apex of R1 darkened, the band reaching posterior margin of wing,’ which is apparently absent in European latifrons. Since specimens examined by Krivosheina &amp; Krivosheina (1996) are heavily biased on the materials collected from the Russian Far East, we suppose that their interpretation of diagnostic characteristics of ‘ Rainieria latifrons ’ could be a mix of latifrons (Europe) and triseta (Far East Russia). However, since Loew (1870) ’s original description for latifrons is very brief and uninformative, examination of type specimen and specimens from more localities is needed to confirm the exact distribution of R.latifrons and R.triseta across the Palearctic region.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D3758E210A6CFF9CFF013035E1D8ABFB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mimegralla is a large genus containing more than 60 species in the Oriental and Australasian region. However, the concept of this genus has been confusing since most species were described without detailed definition of the genus, and as a result it is highly possible that multiple species groups have been collectively referred as Mimegralla. For example, formal Afrotropical Mimegralla mainly described by Verbeke (1951) are now believed to belong in Hybobata Enderlein (Marshall 2017).</p> <p>Since this genus is in need of a thorough revision (McAlpine 1998, Marshall 2017, 2019), effectively redefining this genus and providing diagnosis clearly exceeds the scope of this paper. Consequently, we restrict the diagnosis for the single species treated in this paper, and deposit the specimen in National Institute of Biological Resources, Korea (NIBR) for the future.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D3758E210A6EFF9CFF013765E4CAAD65	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
