The genus Castanopsides Yasunaga, 1992 (Miridae: Mirinae: Mirini), comprises 11 species worldwide: The genus Castanopsides was erected by Yasunaga (1992) with a single species, C.hasegawai. Several years later, Yasunaga (1998) comprehensively revised East Asian Castanopsides which added eignt species to the genus including four new species and four transferred from genus Arbolygus Kerzhner, 1979 (synonymized with Philostephanus Distant, 1909, by Yasunaga and Schwartz 2007). Additionally, Yasunaga and Duwal (2008) described two new species from Oriental region (Nepal).
In Korea, Josifov (1985) reported C.kerzhneri (Josifov, 1985) from Korean peninsula as a new species, with North Korea specimen. Subsequently, Lee and Kwon (1991) added C.potanini (Reuter, 1906) from central part of Korean peninsula, and Josifov (1992) reported this species at North Korea. Accordingly, two species of Castanopsides currently known from the Korean Peninsula.
In this paper, C.falkovitshi (Kerzhner, 1979) is reported for the first time in Korea. The dorsal habitus and genitalic structures of both sexes are provided, along with a key to Korean Castanopsides species.
Materials and methods
All specimens are deposited in the Insect Collection, Seoul National University (SNU), South Korea. Digital images of dorsal habitus are taken with a Canon EOS 70D, with a Canon MP–E 65–mm F2.8 1–5x macro lens. Genital structures are dissected and observed under a Leica DM 4000B microscope, and images are taken using a digital camera attached to the microscope (Lumenera Infinity 3). All measurements (mean and range) are provided in millimeters.
Terminology used to describe the male and female genitalia follows Yasunaga (1998) and Yasunaga and Schwartz (2007), and is indicated with the following abbreviations: IRL: interramal lobe; LL: lateral lobe; DLP: dorsal labiate plate; DOS: dorsal sac; FP: fin-like process (of theca); LS: left lateral sclerite; MS: median sclerite; PB: Phallobase; PML: primary lobe; RM: ramus; RS: right lateral sclerite; SD: seminal duct; SGP: secondary gonopore; SP: spiculum; SPGC: sclerotized perimeter of genital chamber; SR: sclerotized ring; TH: phallotheca.

Castanopsides in East Asia can be recognized by the following characters: Body elongate oval, moderate to large size; dorsum covered with pale sericeous setae; antennae slender, segment I and II incrassate apically; labium rather short, not over metacoxa; male endosoma membranous, with a sclerotized, elongated spiculum and thick-rimmed secondary gonopore; hypophysis of left paramere hooked, sensory lobe rather tumid, or with sparsely toothed process; right paramere elongate, apex of hypophysis crooked; sclerotized ring elongate ovoid, usually not adjacent each other. For detailed diagnostic characters, see Yasunaga (1998) and Yasunaga (2016).
Notes
This genus relate to five other genera which distributes at Palearctic and Oriental region; Gotoshinomiris Yasunaga, Liocapsus Poppius, Mahania Poppius, Orientocapsus Yasunaga & Schwartz, and Philostephanus Distant. Morphological charactier of them are superficially similar, so careful diagnosis is need. Yasunaga (2016) provide key for this allied genera, and discuss about their genitalic structure.
Recognized by its moderate size; dorsum dark brown to fuscous (in males), and paler (in females) and rather glabrous, covered with sericeous setae (Fig. 1 A, B); pronotum immaculate and glabrous, pale line transverse vertically along medial part of pronotum; cuneus pale, apex darkened; basal half of metafemur pale, distal half dark brown to fuscous; male genitalia as in Fig. 2 A, B and Fig. 3 C, D; spiculum distinctly long and slender (Fig. 2 B); sensory lobe of left paramere rather tumid; sclerotized ring small and ovate, semicircular (Fig. 4 A, B). For detailed diagnostic character, figures and description, see Yasunaga (1998).

Notes
This species is host specific to Juglans spp. and Pterocaryarhoifolia Siebold & Zucc. (Juglandaceae) (Yasunaga 1998). Yasunaga (1998) assumed Japanese C.falkovitshi invaded from Primorskij, Russia, via the Korean peninsula. Our record supports this hypothesis.

Discussion
Previously, phylogenetic research on Castanopsides and allied genera has been conducted. Yasunaga (1998) discussed the phylogenetic relationship between Castanopsides species, based on morphological data. A superficially related genus, Arbolygus, was synonymized with Philostephanus and the phylogenetic relationships in the allied genera investigated, and genus Mahania was restored as a genus (Yasunaga and Schwartz 2007). Recently, closely related genus Gotoshinomiris Yasunaga, 2016 is newly erected, with discussion about male and female genitalia of allied six genera (Yasunaga 2016).
Although large amount of study have been conducted about their relationship, additional study for establish their cladistic relationship is still needed, with more comprehensive basis (Yasunaga 2016). Further molecular analysis and wider range of morphological study for Castanopsides and allied genus can complement previous studies.
