We reviewed South Korean species of the genus Apechthis and confirmed four species and two subspecies. In this genus, four species and one subspecies have been reported from the Eastern Palaearctic region, two species and one subspecies were from South Korea. Additionally, we report two species and one subspecies, Apechthis compunctor orientalis Kaspryan, 1973, Apechthis quadridentata (Thomson, 1877) and Apechthis rapae (Uchida, 1925), which were newly recorded for the first time from South Korea. A key to South Korean species of the genus Apechthis, redescriptions of newly recorded species and subspecies and digital images of South Korean Apechthis are provided.

The taxonomic study of the genus Myzia Mulsant, 1846 in Korea is presented. The genus Myzia contains five species worldwide and two species currently recognized in Palaearctic region. Until now, only M. oblongoguttata (Linnaeus, 1758) has been known in Korea, but we found M. gebleri (Crotch, 1874) for the first time in Korea. We redescribed these two Korean species of the genus Myzia with photographs of the habitus and detailed illustrations of their aedeagus and other appendages. A taxonomic key to the species of Korean Myzia beetles are also provided.

We reviewed five South Korean species belonging to the genera Clistopyga Gravenhorst, 1829 and Endromopoda $Hell{\acute{e}}n$, 1939, which are recorded for the first time from South Korea: Clistopyga incitator (Fabricius, 1793), Clistopyga sziladyi Kiss, 1959, Endromopoda arundinator (Fabricius, 1804), Endromopoda detrita (Holmgren, 1860), and Endromopoda phragmitidis (Perkins, 1957). The genus Clistopyga can be distinguished from the congeneric species by distinctly upcurved ovipositor, with enlarged hypopygium, and Endromopoda by apical perpendicular teeth of ovipositor on apex. Diagnoses, illustrations and keys to South Korean species of the genera Clistopyga and Endromopoda are provided.

The family Tetratomidae Billberg occurs in most parts of the world but many species are discovered from Australia and New Zealand. The family contains 13 genera and over 150 described species in five subfamilies, Eustrophinae, Hallomeninae, Penthinae, Piseninae and Tetratominae. Among the eustrophine genera, a genus Eustrophus Illiger includes four species in the Holartic region including three Palaearctic species, E. dermestoides (Fabricius), E. niponicus Lewis and E. yunnanensis Nikitsky. In this study, the genus Eustrophus and its a single species, E. niponicus, are newly discovered from the Korean fauna. A diagnosis, habitus photographs and illustrations of diagnostic characters including aedeagus of the species are provided.

The suborder Symphyta comprises more than 8,000 described species worldwide, of which about 4,400 extant species are recorded from the Eastern Palaearctic. Symphyta can be easily distinguished from the suborder Apocrita by the abdomen, which is broadly joined to the thorax. The larvae of most species feed on herbaceous to woody. A list of the 418 described species of Symphyta in Korea is presented. The list is in taxonomic sequence by superfamily, family, subfamily and genus and includes 116 genera in 22 subfamilies, 12 families, and seven superfamilies. We provide the page reference of the original description of every species and genus listed, Korean name, host records, and all Korean records. The list also provides the distribution of all the species by country.

One of the largest genera of subfamily Banchinae, the genus Glypta has been reported 505 species in the World. In this study, the genus Glypta is reported for the first time from South Korea. Twelve species are recognized, one of which is described as new: Glypta clypeorostrata sp. nov. We diagnose 11 newly recorded species(G. biauriculata, G. breviterebra, G. densepunctata, G. extincta, G. fronticornis, G. incisa, G. media, G. nigrina, G. talitzkii, G. tamanukii, and G. touyaensis) and provide a key along with digital images of 12 South Korean species.

The subgenus Abstrulia Casey belonging to the genus Tetratoma Fabricius of the family Tetratomidae is distributed ten species over the Holarctic region, including eight Palaearctic species. In East Asia, four species from Russian Far East and two species from Japan have been recorded, respectively. In the Korean Peninsula, two species, T. (A.) ainu (Nakane) and T. (A.) pictipennis Reitter, were reported up to date, and latter species is newly recorded in South Korea in this paper. A redescription, habitus photograph, and illustrations of diagnostic characters of the species are provided, with a key to species of the subgenus Abstrulia.

In this study, we conduct a review of the genus Taeniogonalos Schulz, 1906, which belongs to the subfamily Trigonalinae (Hymenoptera: Trigonalidae) from Korea. The genus Taeniogonalos Schulz is recognized as a relatively small genus. Taeniogonalos comprises 53 described species worldwide, including nine species identified in the Eastern Palaearctic region. A total of four species have been recognized from Korea. This paper enumerates the known species in Korea, including the new record. We provide the diagnosis and photographs for the newly recorded species. Additionally, we present a key to the Korean species of Taeniogonalos Schulz, 1906.

The genus Metopius is a relatively large ichneumonids group that includes 145 species worldwide. In this genus, 41 species have been reported from the Eastern Palaearctic region, while eight species have been reported from Korea. We reviewed Korean species of the genus Metopius and confirmed 13 species. We also report five species, Metopius (Ceratopius) maruyamensis Uchida, 1930, Metopius (Ceratopius) scrobiculatus Hartig, 1838, Metopius (Peltastes) fossulatus Uchida, 1933, Metopius (Peltastes) pinatorius $Brull{\acute{e}}$, 1846 and Metopius (Peltastes) sapporensis Uchida, 1930, which were recorded for the first time from Korea. A key to Korean species of the genus Metopius, redescriptions of newly recorded species and digital images of Korean Metopius are also provided.
