Distribution. Korea and Japan.

Remarks. Dermatohomoeus terrenus is recorded for the first time in Korea. This species is easily collected and widely distributed throughout Japan, except Hokkaido. Hoshina (1999) stated that they may have parthenogenetic reproduction because all specimens examined by him were females. All Korean specimens examined by us were females too.
