Abstract

This study was conducted to review the genus Apristus, which has been poorly known in Korea until now, comprising only one species, A. striatus Motschulsky. In this article, we reviewed the genus with the detail diagnostic characters. Among them, A. cuprascens Bates is recorded in Korea for the first time. In addition, a key to the Korean Apristus species is provided with new points of easy identification of this genus using drawing and photos, including the redescription and diagnostic characters.
