Abstract
The specimens belonging to the family Biphyllidae were collected at Mt. Baekun-san (Nonsil and Hanjae), Jeollanam-do with Lindgren funnel traps from May to August, 2015. Through this study, we report seven species of the genus Biphyllus including three newly recorded species; B. aequalis (Reitter), B. flexuosus (Reitter) and B. kuzurius Sasaji. We herein present the key to the identification of species of the Korean Biphyllidae and illustrations of diagnostic characteristics of them.
