Abstract
The subfamily Acrocercopinae, is a relatively large group with over 500 described species under 28 genera. In this study, five species of the subfamily Acrocercopinae, Acrocercops distylii Kumata and Kuroko, 1988, Borboryctis euryae Kumata and Kuroko, 1988, Deoptilia heptadeta (Meyrick, 1936), Gibbovalva magnoliae Kumata and Kuroko, 1988, and Psydrocercops wisteriae (Kuroko, 1982), are reported for the first time from Korea. Moreover, four genera, Borboryctis Kumata and Kuroko, Deoptilia Kumata and Kuroko, Gibbovalva Kumata and Kuroko, and Psydrocercops Kumata are reported as new to Korea. Adults and genitalia of all species are described and illustrated.
