Abstract

We report a limacodid moth, Hampsonella takemurai (Inoue) for the first time in Korea based on four males from the southwestern islands of Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do. The genus Hampsonella Dyar was designated with the type species Parasa dentata Hampson and comprises six species, H. acatharta (Hampson, 1897), H. albidula Wu and Fang, 2009, H arizana (Wileman, 1916), H. dentata (Hampson, 1893), H. membra Solovyev and Witt, 2009, and H. takemurai (Inoue, 1986). Hampsonella takemurai can be diagnosed by the bipectinate male antennae, the blackish forewing with a large, dark blackish postmedial marking, and the blackish hindwing. The male genitalia can be diagnosed by the short triangular uncus, the long digitate gnathos, and the simple membranous valva. We provided the diagnosis and photographs of adult and male genitalia and COI gene sequence.
