While working on beetles collected by using flight interception trap, we found specimens possessing similar characters with salpingidine genus Lissodema Curtis. After detailed examination of the specimens and comparison with other Lissodema species, we concluded that these specimens represent a new species of the genus. The genus Lissodema was first proposed by Curtis based on Lissodema heyana Curtis and contains 19 species in the Palaearctic region. In eastern Asia, 14 and three species are recorded in Japan and Russian Far East, respectively, but no species have been reported from Korea. In this study, a description, habitus photographs and line drawings of diagnostic characters of a new species from Korea are provided.
