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.

Two species, Zaglyptus multicolor(Gravenhorst) and Zaglyptus semirufus Momoi, are newly recognized from South Korea. Zaglyptus iwatai (Uchida) has only been reported from South Korea to date. Diagnoses of two unrecorded species, illustrations of diagnostic characters and a key to species of this genus are provided.

We reviewed eight South Korean species of the genera Scambus Hartig, 1838 and Tromatobia $F{\ddot{o}}rster$, 1869. Among them, the Genus Scambus Hartig, 1838 is a moderately large group that includes 152 species worldwide. The South Korean genus Scambus Hartig, 1838 only includes one species, Scambus calobatus (Gravenhorst, 1829). The Tromatobia $F{\ddot{o}}rster$, 1869 group is a relatively small genus, including 33 worldwide species. This group is recorded for the first time from South Korea. Also, we report seven newly recorded species: Scambus nigricans (Thomson, 1877), Scambus vesicarius (Ratzeburg, 1844), Tromatobia flavistellata Uchida and Momoi, 1957, Tromatobia nipponica Uchida, 1928, Tromatobia ornata (Gravenhorst, 1829), Tromatobia ovivora (Boheman, 1821), and Tromatobia variabilis (Holmgren, 1856). A key to South Korean species of the genera Scambus Hartig, 1838 and Tromatobia $F{\ddot{o}}rster$, 1869, diagnoses and illustrations are provided.

We reviewed ten South Korean species of the genera Acrodactyla Haliday, 1838 and Acropimpla Townes, 1960. Only Acropimpla persimilis (Ashmead, 1906) has been distributed in South Korea, and Acrodactyla is recorded for the first time from South Korea. We report nine newly recorded species: Acrodactyla carinator (Aubert, 1965), Acrodactyla degener (Haliday, 1838), Acrodactyla lydia Kasparyan, 1979, Acrodactyla takewakii (Uchida, 1927), Acrodactyla varicarinata (Uchida and Momoi, 1958), Acropimpla aspera Gupta and Tikar, 1976, Acropimpla didyma (Gravenhorst, 1829), Acropimpla nakula Gupta and Tikar, 1976 and Acropimpla pictipes (Gravenhorst, 1829). Keys to South Korean species of the genera Acrodactyla and Acropimpla, diagnoses and illustrations are provided.

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.
