Abstract

Previously, Macropsis illota (Horváth, 1899) had been listed in the Korean fauna since Nast (1972), without detailed information on the neither domestic localities or voucher material. It was excluded from the Korean inventory by the authors (2021), based on the examination of previously identified specimens that revealed only superficial resemblance to allied species. However, the authors have found the present species dwelling on Siberian elm trees (Ulmus pumila) in Central Korea, during the course of taxonomic survey on the leafhoppers in Korean peninsula. Thus, a total of 8 species of the genus Macropsis Lewis, 1834, are known to be occurred in Korea
