Abstract
Six species of the subfamily Pristocerinae (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) are recognized from Korea, including not only two newly recorded species, Apenesia elegans Terayama Citation1999 and A. okinawensis Terayama Citation1999, but also two new to science, Pseudisobrachium koreana sp. nov. and Parascleroderma tetradentica sp. nov. A key to the species of the subfamily Pristocerinae in Korea is provided with diagnostic illustrations and biometric measurement data for each species and its male genitalia.
