꼽등이 [=곱등이 =우리굴꼽등이]
Diestrammena coreana
(Yamasaki 1969)

 

몸길이는 약 18-21 ㎜이며 전체가 빛나는 갈색이다. 성숙하면 앞가슴등판에 광택이 난다. 집안이나 야외의 어두운 곳에 숨어있다가 밤에 활동한다. 유충으로 월동한다. 제주도의 동굴에서 처음 발견되었으나,일본, 중국에까지 널리 분포한다.

Original description:
Tachycines coreanus Yamasaki 1969 Bull. nat. Sci. Mus. Tokyo 12: 616, figs. 1-2.

 Material examined. Holotype: l♂ (immature adult), Seong-gul Cave, l. v. l966, S. UENO leg. Paratype: l♂ (immature adult), Chilsibri-gul Cave, 9. iv. l966, S. UENO leg.
  Body light yellowish brown, with brown mottles. Pronotum with a broad median brownish band on the disc, forming on each side a dark spot at the median portion in the paratype; anterior and posterior margins of lateral lobe also with brown band. Mesonotum with two brown spots along the dorso-anterior margin; posterior margin of lateral lobe brown. Metanotum, first and second abdominal tergites each with two large brown spots on the dorso-anterior margin. Other abdominal tergites almost brown. Basal half of hind femora with about seven dark slender lines on the external side, which are arranged radially though slight; ventral side of hind femora dark.
  Fastigium of vertex feebly convex. Occiput pubescent. Pronotum, in profile, gradually becoming narrower to the anterior margin than to the posterior margin; anterior margin roundly curved; posterior margin strongly convex. Lateral lobe of mesonotum convex ventro-posteriorly.
  Front femora with eight (left front leg of the paratype), thirteen (right front leg internal margin; ventro-external margin without any tooth; apex with an external spine, and an immobile, short, internal spinule. Front tibiae with three to four spines on the ventral margin; apex with a short median and a short external spines above, two longer spurs below, of which the external one is slightly longer than the internal, and a spinule between the ventral ones. Front metatarsus and the second segment of front tarsi with a row (partially rows) of short spines. Middle femora without any tooth on the ventral margin; apex with an external and an internal long spines. Middle tibiae with three to four spines on the ventral margin; apex with two short spurs above, two longer spurs below, and a spinule between the ventral spurs. Hind femora with one to four teeth on the ventro-internal margin; ventro-external margin without any tooth; apex with a small internal tooth. Hind tibiae with 47-54 spines (51 in number on an average) on each dorsal margin, disposed in increasing series as follows:

* Bold letters show the series in which the last spine is obviously stouter than in the other series.

  Apex of each hind tibia with two short immobile spinules above and two longer immobile ones below; both the external and internal sides of apex with two long spurs each, the dorso-internal spur being longer than the ventro-internal one but shorter than twice the length of the latter and slightly shorter than hind metatarsus. Hind metatarsus with a tooth at the dorsal apex; ventral margin with a row (partially rows) of short spines.
  Male supra-anal plate triangular and blunt at the apex. Male subgenital plate roundish trapezoidal; posterior margin somewhat curving proximad.
  Measurements. The first one of the two measurements show those of the holotype and the second ones those of the paratype.
  Body, l0.9 ㎜ and 12.3 ㎜; pronotum, 4.5 ㎜ and 4.7 ㎜; front femur, 7.9 ㎜ and 8.3 ㎜; front tibia, 7.8 ㎜ and 8.0 ㎜; front tarsus, 6.2 ㎜ and 6.7 ㎜; middle femur, 7.3 ㎜ and 7.6 ㎜; middle tibia, 7.3 ㎜ and 8.0 ㎜; middle tarsus, 5.5 ㎜ and 5.9 ㎜; hind femur, l5.5 ㎜ and 15.2 ㎜; hind tibia, 16.0 ㎜ and l5.l ㎜; hind tarsus, 6.6 ㎜ and 7.0 ㎜; cercus, 6.6 ㎜ and 7.0 ㎜.
  Notes. The present new species is distinguished from all the other known cave forms of the genus Tachycines by the presence of a certain number of distinct teeth on the ventro-internal margin of front femur, and by the long dorso-internal spur at the apex of each hind tibia. The latter nearly attains the length of metatarsus.
