A new species, Paromalus (Paromalus) koreanus sp. nov., is described and an unrecorded species, Paromalus (Paromalus) parallelepipedus (Herbst, 1791), is first reported from Korea. We provide morphological comments and photographs for both species. Keywords: Histeridae, Korea, New species, Paromalus, Taxonomy
