Distribution

Remarks
Philhelius coreanus was originally described, based on Korean male specimens (Shiraki 1930) and our analysis of Korean males in this study was consistent with this description. This species can be distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characteristics: (1) compound eye almost bare, but sparsely covered with short yellow hairs; (2) scutellum entirely covered with brownish-yellow hairs, with a few black hairs mixed (Fig. 3); (3) yellow transverse bands on tergites 3 and 4 are not interrupted (Fig. 1 A, C, D, Fig. 2 A, C and D); and (4) black transverse band on sternite 2 less than 1 / 6 the length of the sternite (Fig. 1 E, F, Fig. 2 E and F). Although it closely resembles P. anisomorphum (Huo, Ren & Zheng, 2007), P. coreanus can be recognised by eyes nearly bare (Fig. 1 I and Fig. 2 I), posterior part of vertex covered with brownish-yellow hairs and wing basally with bare areas.
Females were first described by Violovitsh (1975), based on Russian specimens collected in Primorsky Krai, although intraspecific variation was not accurately represented. Our Korean female specimens were consistent with the description of Russian females, except for a difference in pleural spots. Violovitsh (1975) described three yellow spots on the notopleuron, anepisternum and katepisternum; however, all Philhelius species have a pair of yellow latero-marginal stripes extending from the postpronotal lobe through the notopleuron to the postalar callus. The notopleuron is always yellow because it is contained in a yellow stripe, making the identification of a yellow spot unlikely. Therefore, we assume that the yellow spot on the notopleuron is a descriptive mistake (e. g. the notopleuron was confused with another pleural part). No females with exactly three yellow spots on the pleura were identified; instead, various variants of yellow spots on the anterior anepisternum, posterior anepisternum, proepimeron, katepisternum and anepimeron were observed. To a lesser extent than in females, variation is also observed in males (Fig. 3 A – C vs. D – F), suggesting that the yellow spot on the pleura of P. coreanus is a highly variable character.
Additionally, Violovitsh’s (1975) description was based on only three specimens, which is a very small sample size and leaves open the possibility that an extreme phenotype (somewhat more pronounced than in Fig. 3 F) was collected by chance. Alternatively, the specimens in question might represent a different species altogether or the discrepancy could be attributable to a descriptive error. Therefore, future studies should re-examine the original material of P. coreanus described by Violovitsh (1975), ideally incorporating both morphological and molecular analyses, to clarify its identity.
