Introduction
Genus Cimidaeorus Hsiao et Ren, 1983
Cimidaeorus (Hsiao et Ren, 1983), belonging to the plant bug subfamily Deraeocorinae, is one of a little-known genus, consisting of two described species from the Eastern Asia. Among two species, Cimidaeorus nigrorufus Hsiao et Ren, originally described from China, and Cimidaeorus hasegawai Nakatani, Yasunaga et Takai from Japan, were found to occur in Korea for the first time during our recent survey. This paper represents a part of a continuing attempt by the first author to document mirid fauna of Korea (Duwal et al., 2012, 2013a,b, 2014a,b, c). All measurements are in millimeters. As all available specimens belonging to Cimidaeorus in Korea are female, we provide illustrations of female genital structures only. The principal terminology follows major works treating the taxa of the Deraeocorinae (Nakatani et al., 2000). The specimens examined are deposited in the Insect Museum, Seoul National University (SNU). In the synonymic lists of known taxa, selected references only are cited, as comprehensive catalogs are available (Kerzhner et Josifov, 1999; Schuh, 1995, 2002–2013).

Type species: C. nigrorufus Hsiao and Ren, 1983, original designation. Diagnosis. Recognized by the robust, thick, broad body, more than 7 mm in length, densely distributed pale pubescence on the dorsum and venter, except for the scutellum, the comparatively small eyes, the strongly clavate antennal segment II, the remarkably short antennal segments III and IV, the carinate lateral margin of pronotum, and the cylindrical hind tibiae, somewhat broadened at the apex. Distribution. Eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea). Remarks. Cimidaeorus is a small genus, with two described species. The type species, C. nigrorufus is known from Fujian, China, whereas C. hasegawai is from Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, Japan. Thus, the members of this genus inhabit a warm temperate zone. Nakatani et al. (2000) assumed that species of Cimidaeorus are associated with the margarodid scales (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha). Key to species of Cimidaeorus

– Body elongate, posterior margin of pronotum red, and vertex with distinctly red posterior margin interrupted medially … C. nigrirufus Cimidaeorus hasegawai Nakatani, Nakatani et al., 2000 (Figs. 1A, C, 2A–B) Cimidaeorus hasegawai Nakatani et al., 2000: 321; Yasunaga et al., 2001: 194, Aukema et al., 2013: 178. Diagnosis. Recognized by the flat, broad body, comparatively smaller than C. nigrorufus, mostly dark or black dorsum and appendages except for the red lateral and mesal margin on pronotum and hemelytron, and the pale apical margin of clypeus, small red spot on posterior margin of vertex near each eye, the shagreened pronotal colar, and the shining black venter except for the sternum (Fig. 1A). For a more detailed description and illustrations of male genitalia, see Nakatani et al., 2000: 321. Female. Genitalia (Fig. 2A–B). Bursa copulatrix with a paired elongated process on each sclerotized ring facing inward, and posterior wall with a semicircular carina not reaching inner marginal line.
Measurements. (♀) (n = 1). Total body length 7.89; length from apex of clypeus to cuneal fracture 5.89; head length 1.04; width of head across eyes 1.33; width of vertex 0.77, lengths of antennal segments 0.63, 2.22, 0.54, 0.37; mesal length of pronotum 1.66; basal width of pronotum 3.10; maximum width across hemelytron 4.28; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus 2.18, 2.91, and 0.55.

Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu), Korea (Gyeonggi-do). Remarks. The biology and specific host for C. hasegawai is yet to be determined. However, a single available specimen in Korea was collected from a maple tree by sweeping. The species is assumed to prey on Drosicha corpulenta (Kuwana) (Hemiptera, Margarodidae) (Fig. 1B), to which this deraocorine bugs (particularly its immatures) presumably mimic (Nakatani et al., 2000; Yasunaga et al., 2001).
