In this study, we reviewed the genus Drassyllus belonging to Gnaphosidae from Korea. Among them, a new spider species, Drassyllus pseudovinealis sp. nov. is described as new to science. Also, a newly recorded Drassyllus depressus (Emerton, 1890), which has been previously known in United States and Canada, is reported from Korea. Also a checklist of the Korean Drassyllus spiders is provided with taxonomic information. Keywords: Description, Drassyllus depressus, Drassyllus pseudovinealis sp. nov., Gnaphosidae, Korea
