The soldier flies of the subfamily Stratiomyinae from Korea are treated taxonomically herein. Hitherto, only 2 genera within this subfamily, Odontomyia Meigen and Stratiomys Geoffroy, were previously recorded in Korea. During this taxonomic survey on stratiomyidae flies in Korea, the authors recorded a total of 15 species, including six newly recorded species in Korean fauna: Odontomyia filipjewi, O. halophila, Oplodontha elongata, Oxycera tangi, O. trilineata, and Rhaphiocerina hakiensis. Among them, Oplodontha Rondani, Oxycera Meigen, and Rhaphiocerina Lindner were confirmed as previously unrecorded genera from Korea. Some morphological characteristics of these newly recorded species are provided here. A key to the genera of Korean Stratiomyinae is also included.
