Phanerota appendiculata (Motschulsky) was first described as Gyrophaena appendiculata (Motschulsky, 1858). Later, Cameron (1934) proposed the new subgenus Acanthophaena under Gyrophaena Mannerheim, based on male characters of abdominal sternite V with lateral margins expanded as a lamelliform process, and with a short mesosternal process. In 1939, Cameron redescribed G . ( A .) appendiculata with 2 new species, including G. insigniventris . However, Seevers (1951) recognized that the placement of Acanthophaena under Gyrophaena was not correct. Finally, Ashe (1984) presented evidence that Acanthophaena should be treated as a subgenus of Phanerota Casey. While studying Korean Gyrophaena , we found a species with a very unusual body form. After detailed comparisons with many syntypes of Gyrophaena , the species was identified as Phanerota appendiculata . In addition, syntypes of P. insigniventris were very similar to P. appendiculata . Diagnostic characteristics (structures of antennae, tergite VIII, median lobe, and paramere) of P. insigniventris were not sufficient to maintain the separation of P. insigniventris and P. appendiculata . Therefore, after studying 3 specimens of P. insigniventris and 59 specimens of P. appendiculata , we synonymize P. insigniventris under P. appendiculata and report P. appendiculata for the first time in Korea.
