description The genus Cryptophagus Herbst is one of the largest groups of the family Cryptophagidae Kirby (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea), and found in soil litter, under bark, nests of small animals, social insects, and stored products. Approximately 200 species of this genus have been described in the world and seven species have been recorded in the Korean Peninsula. During taxonomic study of this genus, we identified three additional species, Cryptophagus nitidulus Miller, C. obsoletus Reitter, and C. rufomaculus Lyubarsky, from Korean Peninsula. Redescriptions and illustrations of habitus, diagnostic characters, and collection localities for each species are provided.
