A taxonomic review of the fungivorous K orean M ycetophagidae is presented. Nine species in four genera belonging to two tribes are presented in K orea. Four species, E ulagius ussuriensis N ikitsky, L itargus japonicus R eitter, M ycetophagus irroratus ( R eitter), and M ycetophagus pustulosus ( R eitter), are newly recorded in K orea. Most species are associated with the fruiting bodies of higher fungi, fungus‐grown bark, and mold contaminated materials. In addition, we provide information on host‐fungi records of K orean mycetophagid species.
