Abstract
A new species of the genus Acrossus Mulsant, 1842, Acrossus baeisp. nov. from South Korea, is described and illustrated on the basis of morphology and mitochondrial COI sequences. The species was compared with four related species; Acrossus atratus (Waterhouse, 1875), A. humerospinosus (Petrovitz, 1958), A. luridus (Fabricius, 1775), and A. superatratus (Nomura & Nakane, 1951). The taxonomic status and diagnostic characters of the new species are discussed. A key to species of the genus Acrossus in the Korean Peninsula is given.
