Abstract
The Korean fauna of the leafhopper genus Maiestas Distant, 1917 is reviewed taxonomically. A total of 12 species are recognized, including three new species: M. borealis sp. nov., M. maritima sp. nov., and M. peninsularis sp. nov. The following three species are newly recorded from Korea: M. horvathi (Then), M. irisa Zhang & Duan, M. yangae Zhang & Duan. A check-list and key to Korean species of the genus are provided.
