Abstract
Despite the medicinal benefits of Pueraria lobata (kudzu), it stands as an invasive species that disrupts forest ecosystems, prompting the exploration of natural predators for its control. This study presents the first comprehensive report on Lema (Lema) diversipes, Pic, 1921, a beetle species that uses kudzu as its host, with significant implications for forest ecosystem dynamics. Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of its larva stage are provided for the first time. Additionally, partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, a domestic distribution map, and biological notes are included.

Entomological Research is the successor of the Korean Journal of Entomology. Published by the Entomological Society of Korea (ESK) since 1970, it is the official English language journal of ESK, and publishes original research articles dealing with any aspect of entomology. Papers in any of the following fields will be considered:
-systematics-
ecology-
physiology-
biochemistry-
pest control-
embryology-
genetics-
cell and molecular biology-
medical entomology-
apiculture and sericulture.
The Journal publishes research papers and invited reviews.
