In this study, Diartiger songxiaobini is recorded for the first time in Korea, and Diartiger fossulatus dentipes is redescribed to facilitate a comparison of Diartiger subgroups and provide a detailed description. Habitus images, diagnostic characters, and a distributional map of the Korean Clavigeritae species were also provided.
