Abstract
Two new species of Myrmica from Korea are described. M. koreana belongs to the schencki species?group of Myrmica and is most similar to M. schencki. It is possibly endemic to the Korean Peninsula. M. hyungokae belongs to the lobicornis?group and is most similar to M. jessensis. It has some characters normally associated with social parasites but it is probably a free?living species. Both new species were clearly separated from their nearest relatives on subjective characters (shape, sculpture etc.) and this was confirmed by discriminant analysis of the morphometrics.
