Abstract

Twenty South Korean tiphiid species are taxonomically reviewed. Among them, Tiphia burrelli is new to Korea. Based on the observation of the holotype, Tiphia seoulensis Tsuneki 1986 is synomymized with T rufomandibulata Smith 1873. Male of T koreana hitherto unknown is newly described. Revised key to species, recognizable characters and digital images are provided. Genital structures of several species hitherto unknown are also given.
