975A87C2FF99FF8C37F3F88EFB99C0C4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Aulonothroscus koreanus is very similar to A. brevicollis (Bonvouloir), but can be distinguished by its elytral striation and structures of the aedeagus. Punctures on elytral interval 1 (between elytral stria 1 and sutural stria) of the new species are similarly sized to those of the other intervals (Figs. 3 A – B), but punctures are distinctly smaller and sparser, separated by 2 – 5 times their diameter, in A. brevicollis. Additionally, two rows of punctures are present on elytral interval 2 at the anterior half in A. koreanus, while a row of punctures is present in A. brevicollis. Structure of aedeagus are also very similar, but long setae on parameres are present only at middle in A. koreanus (Figs. 3 J – L), while setae mostly covered nearly the entire lateral surface except the base and apex in A. brevicollis. Aedeagal structure of A. koreanus is also similar to A. longulus, but the latter species has a longer median lobe compared to A. koreanus and its parameres are evenly covered with short setae along the lateral surface, except the base and apex (Figs. 2 J – L). In most Aulonothroscus species, sexual dimorphism in structure of the mesotarsi are evident (e. g., characteristic structure in A. laticollis, different length ratio of tarsal segments in many species), but the new species has no differences between males and females (Figs. 3 H – I).	en	Seung, Jinbae, Han, Taeman, Lee, Seunghyun, Lee, Minhyeuk, Lee, Seunghwan (2024): Taxonomic review of the family Throscidae Laporte, 1840 (Coleoptera: Elateroidea) in Korea, the description of a new species with new generic and species records.
