The genus Krenosmittia is a small group of Orthocladiinae, containing a total of twenty species in the world. Among them, six species were found in Japan, four species in China, and five species from the Russian Far East. This genus can be distinguished from other Orthocladiinae genera by the eyes bare, absence of acrostichals on thorax, costa strongly extended, anal vein ending proximal to FCu, squama bare, and having a strongly developed virga. We report three new species: K. danyangensis n. sp., K. triangulia n. sp., and K. pseudoannulata. The genus Krenosmittia is the first record in Korea. Line drawings of the diagnostic characters are provided for all the species recognized in this study.
