Nine species belonging to 6 genera of the tribe Cnephasiini, Tortricinae are revised in Korea. Of them a new genus, Immarana gen. nov. and 3 species, are described as new to science. Two species, Kawabeia ignavana Christiph and Oporopsamma stenoptera (Filipjev) are reported for the fist time from Korea. A key to the genera of the tribe and all available information on the larval host plants are also given.

Two species of Argyresthia, A. subrimosa Meyrick and A. umbrina Liu, Wang et Li are reported for the first time from Korea. The collecting data show that A. subrimosa occurs in two remote islands, Ulleungdo and Jejudo in the country. These two local populations are compared with each other in external and genital morphology. Argyresthia umbrina is first recorded outside the type country, China. Photographs of the habitus and genitalia are provided for the two species treated here.

The genus Tineola Herrich-Schäffer is reported for the first time in Korea, with a species Tineola bisselliella (Hummel, 1823). These moths can cause damage not only on irreplaceable materials of aesthetic, historic or scientific importance, but also on daily commodities such as clothes, furnishings, and other materials made of animal fur, wool, feathers or leathers. The morphological characters of T. bisselliella are described, and illustrations of examined specimens are provided.

Thirteen isolates of Bacillus thunngiensls producing parasporal mclusions, obtained from 45 samples of dust and soil of sericultural tarms in Kyeong-ki province, were exammed for their toxicity against larvae of Lepidoptera, Dipwra and Coleoptera. Of these isolates, Bacillus f thuringiensis NT0423 was toxic to bath Lepidoptera, and Dipteran larvae. NT0423 showed that the $LC_{50}$ values against the Lepldaptora, Plutella macuhpennis and the Diptera, Culex pipiens were $1.30\times10^6$ CFU/ml, $2.88\times10^5$ CFU/ml, respectively. The tYPlcal bipyramldal crystals produced by NT0423 composed of protoxms of 130-140kDa encoded by one or more plasm mid-horne genes. Also, plasmid DNA analysis indicated Lhat this isolate has 9 plasmids which d differ with reported several B. thuringiensis strains.

To conserve the population of a hesperiid butterfly, Leptalina unicolor, inhabiting the protected areas of Jaeyaksan, we provide ecological information on their behavior and propose habitat conservation measures, such as the creation of alternative habitats based on comprehensive information. The behavioral study used a method of re-capture after releasing the butterfly with enamel marks on the wings. Adult behaviors were shown in four patterns: flying, settling on a plant, nectar absorption, and water absorption. Both males and females had the highest proportion of flight movement overall; however, males had a slightly higher proportion of flight movement. As for duration, females spent more time settling on plants to select spawning sites, and males seemed to take a longer time for water absorption activities, to absorb minerals needed to form the spermatophore. The average travel distance of butterflies was 27.5 m for females and 46.7 m for males, with daily activity ranges from 11.2 m to 43.8 m, and 21.4 to 57.6 m, respectively. The most important condition to preserve the habitat of Leptalina unicolor is to maintain the community of Miscanthus sinensis, a food plant. Additionally, because this butterfly has a high rate of water absorption activities, wetlands should be maintained.
