A taxonomic review of K orean H aliplidae A ubé is presented. Eight species in two genera are recognized, one of which ( H aliplus diruptus Balfour‐Browne) is reported for the first time in S outh K orea. We also found that H . ovalis S harp previously recorded in the K orean peninsula was an incorrect identification of H . chinensis F alkenström. Habitus and scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) photographs, diagnoses of genera, additional characters of species and diagnostic characters with illustrations of the species are provided.
