Abstract

We report two species of Eupithecia for the first time from Korea. Two females of Eupithecia sophia Butler were collected from Jejudo Island and Sobaeksan Mt., Danyang, and two males of Eupithecia niphonaria Inoue were collected from Duryunsan Mt., Haenam. Up to now, a total of 51 species of Eupithecia are recorded from Korea. Diagnosis and description of each species are given with the figures of genitalia.
