False click beetles have been barely studied in the Korean peninsula. As a result of the present study, a total of 22 species belonging to 14 genera of Eucnemidae are reviewed from Korea, including two new species and 15 new records. Also, we conducted molecular phylogenetic study of the family Eucnemidae for estimating monophyly based on molecular fragments of mitochondrial protein coding gene (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, COI) and two nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (18S rRNA and 28S rRNA) by Bayesian Inference (BI) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis. The result of the phylogenetic analyses indicated that Eucnemidae is a monophyletic group in Elateroidea, however, mostly form paraphyly compared to previous classification in subfamily level.
