We reviewed five South Korean species belonging to the genera Clistopyga Gravenhorst, 1829 and Endromopoda $Hell{\acute{e}}n$, 1939, which are recorded for the first time from South Korea: Clistopyga incitator (Fabricius, 1793), Clistopyga sziladyi Kiss, 1959, Endromopoda arundinator (Fabricius, 1804), Endromopoda detrita (Holmgren, 1860), and Endromopoda phragmitidis (Perkins, 1957). The genus Clistopyga can be distinguished from the congeneric species by distinctly upcurved ovipositor, with enlarged hypopygium, and Endromopoda by apical perpendicular teeth of ovipositor on apex. Diagnoses, illustrations and keys to South Korean species of the genera Clistopyga and Endromopoda are provided.

The subfamily Pimplinae is one of the largest groups of the family Ichneumonidae, currently 1,737 species in 77 genera worldwide. In Korea, 120 species in 33 genera have been recorded. The South Korean species of the subfamily Pimplinae Wesmael, 1845 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) are the focus of this study. Here, six species are newly added in the South Korean fauna: Aravenator kamijoi Momoi, Chablisea varicolor Liu, He & Chen, Clistopyga arctica Kusigemati, Liotryphon cydiae (Perkins), L. strobilellae (Linnaeus), and Zaglyptus semirufus marginatus Kasparyan. Of these new taxa, two genera (Aravenato and, Chablisea) belonging to the tribe Ephialtini are also newly recorded from South Korea. We present a key to species of South Korean Clistopyga, Liotryphon, and Zaglyptus, diagnosis, photographs, and distribution. As a result of this study, the Korean fauna of Pimplinae is now known to consist of 126 species in 35 genera. All Pimplinae specimens are kept in the collections of the Geolim Entomological Institute (GEI), Daegu, South Korea.
