Key to Korean species of the genus Eloeophila Rondani

1. Basal half of wing with indistinct darkening at arculus at most ( Fig. 12B ). Antenna reaching beyond wing base, if bent backwards. Basal flagellomere at least as long as scape, remaining flagellomeres at least three times as long as their width ( Fig. 12A )·························· ······· Eloeophila ussuriana ussuriana ( Alexander, 1933)

– Basal half of wing with five spots (sometimes merged into larger spots) ( Figs. 9A , 10B , 11B , 13B ). Antenna reaching wing base at most, if bent backwards. Basal flagellomere distinctly shorter than scape, remaining flagellomeres 1.5-2 times as long as wide ( Figs. 9B , 10A , 11A , 13A ) ·························································· 2

2. Halter with brown knob and yellow stem···················· 3

– Entire halter yellow ·······················································4

3. Scape dark brown, basal flagellomere pale brown. Femur with tip broadly dark brown··································· ····················· Eloeophila subaprilina ( Alexander, 1919)

– Scape pale brownish yellow, basal flagellomere light yellow. Femur scarcely tipped with darker···················· ······················ Eloeophila yezoensis ( Alexander, 1924b)

4. Basal flagellomeres yellow or brownish yellow. Mesonotal prescutum with separate medial and lateral stripes ··············· Eloeophila persalsa ( Alexander, 1940)

– Basal flagellomeres dark brown, same as the remainder of flagellum. Mesonotal prescutum with medial and lateral stripes reaching each other ································· ······················· Eloeophila serenensis ( Alexander, 1940)
