Although the European species Apodemus sylvaticushas been mentioned as a species occurring in Korea( Lee & Lim 1974), we here consider that records of the species originated from erroneous identifications ( Pavlinov & Khlyap 2012). Although Musser and Carleton (2005)listed A. chejuensisas a subspecies on JejuIsland, we treat the taxon at the specific level based on reproductive isolation with A. agrariuson the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, we list eight species of Muridae(and four genera) for Korea.
