The review of the Tachyini material collected by 5 Polish zoological expeditions to Korean People’s Democratic Republic in the years 1959-1971 is given. Among 168 specimens 13 species were found, 4 of them being new to science. They are: Tachys (Eotachys) dzosonicus sp. n., Т. (E.) varsavianorum sp. n., T. (s. str.) gyotokuensis sohei ssp. n., and T. (s, str.) koreanorum sp. n. From the remaining species 6 are new to the Korean peninsula. Lymnastis yanoi Nak. and an oriental Tachys (s. str.) quadrillum Schaum reaching their northern line of distribution here. The paper is supplemented with a key to the determination of Korean Tachyini and with ecological and zoogeographical remarks. In consequence of a revision of museum materials and a comparison with the collected material the author proposes the recognition of the names: Tachys chinensis Jedl., T. coreanus Jedl., and T. goetzi Jedl. as synonymes of species Т. (Таchyura) gradatus Bat.
