A new psyllid species, Rhodochlanis suaedicola sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Korea based on adults and fifth instar immatures. Rhodochlanis is reported for the first time from Korea. The new species is associated with Suaeda japonica (Amaranthaceae) growing in saline habitats. Salt marshes in Korea are threatened by sea side developments. It is suggested that these habitats should be protected to ensure the survival of R. suaedicola.
基于成虫和五龄若虫，对采自韩国的一种新木虱物种——碱蓬红胸木虱（Rhodochlanis suaedicola sp. nov.）进行了描述和绘图。木虱属（Rhodochlanis）在韩国属首次报道。该新物种与生长在盐碱地生境中的日本碱蓬（藜科）有关。韩国的盐沼受到海边开发活动的威胁。建议对这些生境加以保护，以确保碱蓬红胸木虱的生存。
