 The genus Peliocypas Schmidt-Goebel contains 67 species from the world (Anonymous, 2012), whereas Bousquet et al. (2003) listed 16 species. These huge differences must be more detail confirmation works by specimens. Most species are distributed in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions (generally countries located in southern part of China, Japan to India, see Jedlicka, 1963; Habu, 1983). P. miwai (Jedlicka) was record only in Japan (Habu, 1983, Ueno et al., 1985).

 Members of the P. miwai inhabit the tree and feed on small insects using sharp mandibles and claws. They are characterized by very small body, long curved stylus segment in female and one pair of distinct setae present on mid-eye level of head (Habu, 1983) and active behavior.

Diagnosis

 Diagnosis: Body size 4.0 mm, Head and pronotum yellowish brown. Antennae, maxillary and labial palpus, legs more or less light colour than head. Ventral side of head with one pair of distinct setae at mid-eye level. Antennae without densely small seta to 3rd segment. Elytra with brownish long spot from basal area to 2/3 part of elytra, width of basal spot extended to 1/3 of interval five, with one pore on 3rd interval at adjoining fourth interval line. Claws with four sharp spins in inner side, third and forth tarsal segment divided and elongated widely.

Material examined

 Material examined : 1 ex., 20, X, 2011, Mt. Bohyunsan (Jukjeon-ri, Hwabuk-myeon, Yeongcheon city, E 128 54’ 59.35” N 36 09’ 02.76”), GB, Korea. Coll. J.K.Park.

Remarks

 By morphological characteristics of elytral long spot, head colour, antennal seta and head ventral seta etc, this species was distinctly identified (Habu, 1983; Ueno et al., 1985).

Distribution

 Distribution: Korea (new record), Japan.
