Abstract: Dysdercus (Paradysdercus) evanescens Distant, 1902 (Fig. 2H) Material examined. South Korea. Jeju-do: 1 ♀, Seogwipo-si, Andeok-myeon, 14.vii.2023, leg. WonGun Kim (33.253158, 126.353309) (SCNU); 1 ♂, same locality and collector, 15.vii.2023 (SCNU). Distribution. Widespread in the Oriental Region (Kerzhner 2001; Stehlík 2003). In East Asia: Korea (Jeju Island), China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Xizang, Yunnan) (Zhao et al. 2022). Comments. D. evanescens is known from various localities of the Oriental region (Kerzhner 2001; Zhao et al. 2022). Although Rédei et al. (2009) expected its occurrence in Taiwan and Zhao et al. (2022) included Taiwan in its distribution range, there is still no published Taiwanese record with detailed locality information (D. Rédei, pers. comm.). Some specimens of this species had been collected in Tsushima Island and Shikoku of Japan, but the collections were not officially reported (K. Kohno, pers. comm.). We collected two specimens on light trap in Jeju Island, where tangerines are cultivated on a large scale, although whether this species was feeding on tangerine remains uncertain.
