In total, 10 species in five genera of the tribe Megatomini Leach, 1815 belonging to the family Dermestidae (Coleoptera), are recognized from Korea. Two species (Orphinus japonicus Arrow, 1915 and Trogoderma variabile Ballion, 1878) of them are recorded for the first time from Korea. A key to the Korean species of Megatomini, diagnosis, and photographs of the adult for the species are provided.
