The genus Stenotothorax is reported for the first time in the Korean Peninsula. While working on Korean Aphodiinae, we identified Stenotothorax hibernalis (Nakane & Tsukamoto) from the Goseong-gun, Gangwon Province. This species was found in the northern region of South Korea. A key to Aphodiini genera in Korea, habitus photographs, and illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided to facilitate identification.

A taxonomic study of Korean Psammodiini is present. Seven species [Rakovicius coreanus (Kim), Leiopsammodius japonicus (Harold), Psammodius flavolittoralis Kim, Psammodius hangangensis Kim, Psammodius sungshinarum Kim, Rhyssemus inscitus (Walker), Trichiorhyssemus asperulus (Waterhouse)] belonging to five genera are recognized based on morphological characters. A pictorial key, habitus photographs and illustrations of the diagnostic characters of Korean Psammodiini species are provided to facilitate identification.
