Abstract
From a result of the faunal study for microlepidoptera in Korea, three species are reported for the first time from Korea: Agnoea josephinae (Toll, 1956) of the family Lypusidae; Ochromolopis kaszabi Gaedike, 1973 of the family Epermeniidae; and Elachista kurokoi Parenti, 1983 of the family Elachistidae. Of them, two genera, Agnoea Walsingham and Ochromolopis Hubner, are reported for the first time from Korea. Adults and their genitalia for the first two species, A. josephinae and O. kaszabi, are given, but the last species, E. kurokoi with missing abdomen, is illustrated only with adult. Diagnostic characteristics with brief descriptions of the genitalia are also provided.
