Introduction Materials and methods

Kim and Lim (1997) revised 43 species of Korean histerid beetles The arrangement of the species is based on Mazur (2011). We used based on over 2,000 specimens and the rich local references of the following abbreviation of provinces in Korea: GW, Gangwon-do; Korean journals. Independently, Ôhara and Paik (1998) also revised GG, Gyeonggi-do; CB, Chungcheongbuk-do; CN, Chungcheongnam- 31 species of Korean histerids using 129 specimens, and described do; GB, Gyeongsangbuk-do; GN, Gyeongsangnam-do; JB, Jeollabuk- two new species. Records of histerids from South Korea have also do; JN, Jeollanam-do; and JJ, Jeju-do.
