A maldanid polychaete, Axiothella quadrimaculata Augener, 1914, is newly recorded in Korean fauna. Genus Axiothella is found for the first time in Korean waters. The specimen was collected in the Eisenia bicyclis bed by SCUBA diving. The species is described with figures and the key to genera was revised. Including this Axiothella quadrimaculata, a total of 18 species representing 13 genera are known to the Korean Maldanid polychaetes.
