The beetle family Georissidae, represented by Georissus kurosawai Nakane, is identified for the first time in Korea. Worldwide, the family Georissidae Laporte contains 83 described species in the only genus Georissus Latreille. This beetles usually inhabits sandy or muddy banks of streams, rivers, and standing water, and some species live in tidal flats and leaf litter. Mostly, adults are covered by a layer of mud or sand grains dorsally and are attracted to light. They are characterized by the combination of the following characters: prosternum reduced, procoxae enlarged, metacoxae separate, ventral hydrofuge pubescence absent, elytra punctatostriate and without scutellary stria, metathoracic anepisterna concealed, and sternite III enlarged. Habitus and aedeagus photograph, mtDNA sequence, and habitat information are provided.
