Abstract

Two genera of the family Cleridae, Tillus Olivier, 1790 and Elasmocylidrus Corporaal, 1939 and two species, Tillus elongatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Elasmocylidrus takedaorum Murakami and Gerstmeier, 2020 are reported for the first time in Korea. Illustrations of a habitus, diagnostic characteristics of the genus and species are presented with key to the korean genera of subfamily Tillinae.
