Only two species (
Syzeuctus coreanus
and
S. sambonis
) of the genus
Syzeuctus
were known to inhabit South Korea. In the present study, four species of this genus are newly recorded from South Korea. Among them, two species,
S. albopictus
Kang & Lee,
sp. nov.
and
S. flavofacialis
Kang & Lee,
sp. nov.
, are described as new. Of the other species, the male of
S. takaozanus
was hitherto unknown and is described here, and
S. apicifer
is also new to South Korea. A key to these South Korean species along with the descriptions of the two newly recorded species and digital images are provided.
