A taxonomic study was carried out to discover unrecorded species of South Korean Exetastes of which six taxa were previously known. In the present study, another six taxa were newly recognized from the country: E. adpressorius, E. allopus, E. fukuchiyamanus, E. illyricus, E. sapponensis and E. tomentosus. With the result of this study, 11 species and one subspecies in Exetastes are in total known from South Korea. In addition, a key to the South Korean species and the diagnoses and digital images of the six newly recorded species are provided.
