Asobara rufescens FOERSTER, 1862

– 1 ♀: No. 144 . 2 ♀: KU 9 . 1 ♀: KU 13 . 1 ♀ + 1 ♂: KU 43 (1 ♀: 20 VII 1995 and 1 ♂: 31 VII–1 VIII 1995 taken with UV lamp) . 1 ♀: KU 44 (16–23 VI 1993) . 2 ♀: KU 45 (1 ♀: 25 VII 1993, 1 ♀: 22 VIII 1993) .

– Reported from Korea (PAPP 1994: 136); BELOKOBYLSKIJ (1998: 268) did not report it from Asiatic Russia and, furthermore, he remarked that the difference between A. rufescens and A. tabida is very small.

– The two species in question taken in Korea, indeed, are very similar to each other and are separated as follows: (1) first tergite as long as broad behind ( rufescens) / slightly longer than broad behind ( tabida); (2) meso- and metasoma almost entirely yellow to testaceous ( rufescens) / brown to dark brown, first tergite reddish ( tabida).
