Description

The genus Tuponia Reuter, 1875 belongs to the subfamily Phylinae and comprises 91 species worldwide. Before this study, only T. koreana Kim & Jung had been recorded from the Korean Peninsula.Two species of Tuponia Reuter, 1910 are recognised from the Korean Peninsula including the first record of T. mongolica Drapolyuk, 1980. T. koreana Kim & Jung, 2021 is proposed as a junior synonym of T. chinensis Zheng & Li, 1992. The species is identified, based on the dorsal habitus and male and female genitalic structures. A brief discussion of the distribution of Korean Tuponia species also is presented.
