A genus, Pantilius Curtis (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Mirinae), is reported for the first time from the Korean Peninsula, based on finding a species of Pantilius hayashii Miyamoto and Yasunaga, 1989, which was hitherto known only from Honshu, Japan. The morphological information, such as description and diagnosis, is presented with photographs and illustrations of adult habitus and male genitalia.
