Agrypnus uidoensis is a species of click beetle (Elateridae).[1]
This beetle was first described in 2009 by Tae Man Han and others.[1][2]
It is endemic to the Korean peninsula,[3] where it is found on the island of Uido.[2] The species epithet, uidoensis, describes it as coming from Uido, which is where the holotype specimens were collected alive (on the sanddunes of Dunmok Beach).[2]
