Abstract

<br> The genus<br> Roeslerstammia<br> Zeller, 1839, the type genus of the family Roeslerstammiidae, comprises a total of four species on a global scale. The type species,<br> Roeslerstammia erxlebella<br> (Fabricius, 1787) is distributed across the Palaearctic Region, from Europe to Japan. However, the presence of this species has only been confirmed in European countries, Russia and Japan.<br> <br> <br> The present study reports the first record of<br> Roeslerstammia erxlebella<br> in Korea, specifically from Odae-san National Park. This paper constitutes a review of the taxonomic history of the family Roeslerstammiidae and the genus<br> Roeslerstammia<br> . A thorough taxonomic account of the recently documented species,<br> R. erxlebella<br> , is presented, accompanied by a taxonomic key and an illustrated map delineating the geographical distribution of the genus<br> Roeslerstammia<br> . Furthemore, the DNA Barcode data of a Korean individual was made available, alongside public data from BOLD systems. The DNA Barcoding analysis further indicates that the Korean individual is<br> R. erxlebella<br> .<br>
