The genera Seleucus and Opheltes have been reported, each of which contains two species in the world, [S. cuneiformis (Holmgren, 1860) and S. exareolatus (Strobl, 1904) for the genus Seleucus; O. glaucopterus Linnaeus, 1758 and O. japonicus (Cushman, 1924) for the genus Opheltes]. In this study, the genus Seleucus is discovered for the first time in Korea with S. cuneiformis, and also O. japonicus is reported for the first time from Korea. We redescribed Korean Seleucus and Opheltes species, and provide keys and photographs of the Korean species.
