The subfamily Lachninae Herrich-Schaeffer, 1854 consist of about 400 species belonging to 19 genera world-wide. Lachninae are distributed mostly in the Nearctic, Oriental and Palaearctic Regions. Their host plants are known as grasses, deciduous tree and conifers. Taxonomic study of Lachninae has been dealt with some authors in several countries, whereas it has rarely performed in the Korean Peninsula after Lee et al. (1994). Here, we review the subfamily Lachninae from the Korean Peninsula, focusing on its taxonomic history and diversity.
