Abstract

A new genus Magneclava gen. n. with the type species Magneclava sergeyi sp. n. is described from South Korea. The new genus is similar to Psilocera Walker, 1833, from which it may be distinguished by a very large antennal clava, longer than F1–F6 combined; lower margin of clypeus with angulate medial tooth; notauli of mesosoma complete and shallow, and propodeum without costula and transverse carinae.
