The Celyphidae, commonly known as beetle flies or beetle-backed flies, are a family of Diptera. The scutellum is enlarged and forming a protective shell over the abdomen, giving them a beetle-like appearance. Species in the family are mostly found in tropical region, especially in South East Asia. Records of North East Asia are rare, in China, some species are found in Southern region. In Japan, few species found in Okinawa region, but only one record of Celyphidae near in mainland area. In this research we firstly record specimen of genus Spaniocelyphus sp., from Korea stored in National Science Museum Korea and Kyongpook National University with comparison of specimen from Tsushima island, Nagasaki prefecture stored in Osaka Natural History Museum.
