Abstract

Two unrecorded species, Brachynervus beijingensis and B. confusus are described from South Korea for the first time. A taxonomic study of the South Korean Brachynervus was initiated by Uchida (1955). Until now only one species, B. tsunekii, has been recorded from South Korea. In the study, we provide the diagnoses and photos of two unrecorded species of Brachynervus.
