The genus Miridiba Reitter, 1902 is an Asian genus comprising 58 valid species, distributed from the Oriental to the Palearctic region. In Korea, M. castanea (Waterhouse, 1875) is the only recorded species in the genus, based on the literature and the examination of three female specimens collected from Jeju Island, the southernmost island of the country. Here, additional sampling records from Jeju Island are reported, along with the first morphological examination of male specimens from Korea. Diagnosis, photographs of morphological characters, and sampling site information are provided.
