EBFD69958B995DB29972D2DF1FAE9D29.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name colligatus is Latin, meaning “ unified, ” as the type specimens were collected from the DMZ area (Yanggu County, Gangwon Province), situated between the two Koreas. The species epithet is treated as an adjective in the nominative.	en	Lee, Kyung Min, Kim, Il-kwon, Lim, Jongok (2025): New species and barcode analysis of Bethylus Latreille (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) from South Korea.
