discussion
Remarks. The species was already recorded in the fauna of Korean Peninsula, but on the basis of male only (Lee et al. 2020). Because of the distinct sexual dimorphism in Adelius species, especially in the shape of antennal flagellomeres, the record of female is especially valuable. Current determination of the female of A. clandestinus justifies the presence of this species in the fauna of Korea.
distribution
Distribution. Korean Peninsula; Europe, Kazakhstan Russia (Far East).
