The family Thyrididae was known as a small group comprising 940 species in the world (Nieukerken et al, 2011). In Korea, the first report of the family was made by Park (1983) with four species. Later, 10 species of 4 genera was enumerated by several researchers (Park & Byun, 1990; Choi, 2005). The typical characteristics of the family Thyrididae is a window-like transparent pattern of wings. Some species in the family are classified as insect pest species (Jo, 1995). Thus, it is important to study the group for the applied fields.
In this study, the reveiw of the family Thyrididae in Korea was conducted. All available materials was examined and illustrated. Also the collecting localities, illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided.
