Abstract
A comprehensive examination of stonefly material from South Korea resulted in the recognition of three species from the wingless stonefly family Scopuridae: Scopura gaya sp. n, S. laminata Uchida (♂ and ♀ previously unknown), and S. scorea sp. n. Descriptions of all life stages with macro-photos of the key characters are provided. Differential diagnoses, distributional, habitat, and ecological notes, along with taxonomic remarks, are also provided.
