Abstract

The genus Cryptophagus Herbst comprises over 200 described species worldwide, with 10 Korean species. The genus Micrambe Thomson includes 101 species within 3 subgenera, and a single species, Micrambe (s. str.) abietis (Paykull), is recorded in Korea. In this study, two cryptophagid beetle species, Cryptophagus pumilus Reitter and Micrambe (Micrambinus) bimaculata (Panzer), are reported for the first time in the Korean Peninsula. Illustrations of habitus, diagnostic characters, and distribution maps for these two species are provided.
