Abstract

The rare hormiine genus Taiwanhormius Belokobylskij, 1988 is recorded for the first time from the Korean Peninsula. A new species, Taiwanhormius austrokoreanus sp. nov., is described and illustrated from South Korea. The photographs of the type species (paratype, male) of the genus Taiwanhormius, T. granulosus Belokobylskij, 1988, are published for the first time. A key to the known three species of this genus is provided.
