Abstract
The genus Paraholcostethus Belousova is reported from the Korean Peninsula for the first time with the description of a new species, Paraholcostethus irumiae sp. nov. The generic diagnosis of Paraholcostethus is slightly modified to accommodate the new species. Habitus, male and female internal and external genitalia are illustrated. A key to the species of the genus is also given.
