ABSTRACT. The fauna of the Spilomicrini tribe is reviewed in South Korea. Twelve species of this tribe have been recorded in South Korea for the first time: two species from the Paramesius Westwood genus, three species from the Idiotypa Förster, and seven from the Spilomicrus Westwood genus. The genera Paramesius and Idiotypa are firstly recorded in South Korea. Four new species: Paramesius orientalis sp.n., Spilomicrus basalicus sp.n., S. planalis sp.n. and S. visorus sp.n., are described and illustrated. Based on the results of this research and of previous studies of diapriid wasps, 27 species of Spilomicrini are currently indicated in the fauna of South Korea.
KEY WORDS: diapriids, wasps, Idiotypa, Paramesius, Spilomicrus, new taxa, new records, East Palaearctic fauna.
