Life cycle of Leptaulax koreanus (Nomura, Kon, Johki, & Lee) (Coleoptera: Passalidae): A Korean endemic species

Leptaulax koreanus is an endemic species inhabiting the Gwagneung Forest in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. However, its developmental characteristics have not been well studied. Thus, the aim of this study was to establish data on the developmental characteristics of L. koreanus via indoor rearing....
