Abstract

For the first time in Korea, we report two species from the family Noctuidae: Trichosea ainu (Wileman), and Virgo confusa Kishida and Yoshimoto, as well as two species from the family Erebidae: Paracolax bilineata (Wileman) and Homodes vivida Guenée. Most of these species were collected from southern regions of Korea, including Wando, Gangjin, Shinan, and Jejudo. We provide photographs of adults and male and female genitalia, along with mitochondrial DNA(COI barcode region) sequences.
