Korea (South). the tribe Stenometopiini Baker, 1923, have been known to be occurred in Korea: Stirellus Host plant. Gramineae spp. grandis (Matsumura, 1914), S. productus (Matsumura, 1902) and S. yeongnamensis Remarks. This species seems to be allied to Stirellus breviceps (Matsumura, 1914), hitherto known (Kwon et Lee, 1979). In the course of taxonomic survey on the in Korean from Taiwan based on the female holotype only. Both species have the vertex structure in being roundly produced apically. peninsula, the authors have found a further species new to science, dwelling on On the other hand, the distributional record in China of the species illustrated by Duan et al., (2016) gramineous maritime herbs in Southern island of the Korean peninsula: Stirellus koreanus as S. yeongnamensis is different apparently from the present one by having broad subtriangularly sp. nov.
