Description
Summary:Genus: Cladotanytarsus Kieffer, 1921 The genus Cladotanytarsus is divided into two subgenera: Cladotanytarsus s. str. Kieffer, 1921 and Lenziella Kieffer, 1922 (Giłka 2011b, Giłka & Spies 2012, Puchalski & Giłka 2017). Since no character typical of Lenziella (a globular basal swelling in the inferior volsella nor lobes of the mid and hind leg tibiae apices) has been found in C. sinjongensis males, we place the species in the subgenus Cladotanytarsus s. str. The genus is represented by nearly 80 species known from all continents except Antarctica (Puchalski et al. 2018). From North Korea, apart from C. sinjongensis, now found and redescribed below, two Cladotanytarsus species have so far been recorded by Reiss (1980), but determined to the genus level, as Cladotanytarsus sp. K 1 and K2.
