Abstract
The genus Stephostethus LeConte (Coleoptera: Coccinelloidea: Latridiidae) includes 44 species worldwide, with a single species, Stephostethus chinensis (Reitter), recorded in Korea. In this study, Stephostethus setosus Rücker is recorded for the first time in Korea, and Stephostethus chinensis (Reitter) is redescribed. An illustration of habitus, diagnostic characters, a distribution map, an identification key, and a catalog of the worldwide Stephostethus are provided.
