The genus Scutellathous Kishii, 1955 is a small group known from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. We carried out a taxonomic study on the Korean species of Scutellathous for the first time. As the result, S. porrecticollis (Lewis, 1894) is revealed to be commonly distributing in Korea and Japan. Additionally, we found that the previous record of Athous jactatus (Lewis, 1894) from North Korea is misidentification of S. porrecticollis. We herein provide redescription of S. porrecticollis and the result of DNA barcoding of congeners belonging to Scutellathous.

Pseudanostirus ecarinatus (Stepanov, 1930) is recognized for the first time in Korea. A redescription and illustrations of the species are presented based on a single male specimen collected from Mt. Bangtae Gangwon-do. We also provide diagnostic characteristics of the genus, which clearly separate it from other closely related genera, Calambus Thomson, 1859 and Anostrius Thomson, 1859.
