The Korean fauna of the snail-killing fly genus Pherbellia Robineau-Desvoidy is reviewed taxonomically. A total of five species belonging to this genus are recognized to occur in Korea. Two of these species, Pherbellia orientalis Rozkošný and Knutson, 1991 and Pherbellia shatalkini Rozkošný, 1991, are recorded for the first time from Korea. The descriptions and illustrations of these species are provided with a key to the Korean species belonging to the genus Pherbellia.
