Abstract

Two species of the Drepanidae are newly recorded from Korea. Habrosyne indica formosana Werny, 1966 and Neodaruma tamanukii Matsumura, 1933. Habrosyne indica formosana can be distinguished by the blackish forewing with a large inverse triangular medial band and the whitish pink subtermen running from the apex to tornus, and the blackish hindwing. Neodaruma tamanukii can be distinguished by the dark grayish forewing with a pair of parallel undulating, blackish antemedial and postmedial lines and a large, renal-shaped discal dot, and a pale grayish undulating subterminal line of the forewing, and the whitish hindwing with a darkly colored postmedial line and subtermen. We provide the diagnosis and figures of adult and genitalia.
