The genus Peloribates is comparatively species rich, and world-wide, more than eighty species are assigned to this genus (Bayartogtokh, 2000). In Korea, four species of Peloribates were recorded. In this study, Peloribates barbatus Aoki is reported from Korea for the first time. This species was collected from rice straw mat of Cherry tree in Andong National University. We present the morphology of this species relative to body size, length, shape of sensillus, position of seta, and feeding comparing with previously recorded four species of Peloribates. A diagnostic description of this species with detailed illustration.
