A total of 156 species of Pyralidae and 6 species of Thyrididae were recogmzed from the collection of the North Korean materials preserved in Hungarian Natural History Museum. A Among them, 23 species of Pyralidae are reported for the first time from Korean peninsula, a and 8 unnamed species are also included.

The long-term tend an pattern changes of Chilo suppressalis(Walker) occurrence in Suwon were analyzed and the forecasting models for spring emergence of C. suppressalis in Suwon were developed. From 1965 to 196, the population dynamics of C. suppressalis in Suwon shows a cyclic fluctuation with one large peak an one small peak, and its periodicity was ca. 36 generations(18 years). C. suppressalis population dynamics in Suwon was characterized as controlled by the endogenous dynamics dictated by the 1st order negative feedback mechanism (fast density dependence). The dynaics mechanism of C. suppressalis populations was not changed although its population density decreased drastically over the years. Using th dta of C. suppressalis spring occurrence in Suwon, forecasting models for spring emergence of C.supressalis were developed based on temperature-dependent development model or degree days. In general, these models well described the C. suppressalis spring emergence pattern in Suwon. Also, forecasting problems in spring moth emergence related with C. suppressalis population dynamics were discussed.

Two species of Phycitinae, Asclerobia sinensis (Caradja & Meyrick, 1937) and Acrobasis malifoliella Yamanaka, 2003, are reported for the first time from Korea. The adults and genitalia of the species are redescribed and illustrated.

We investigated the species richness of macrolepidoptera (including pyralid moths) in the evergreen broad-leaved forests of southwestern coast of Korea. The studied site was Mt. Duryunsan and its neighboring area, Haenam-gun, Jollanam-do and moths were identified and analyzed after collecting them with UV light traps from 2001 to 2004. A total number of species comprised 18 families and 489 species. We expected that the number of species would be increased when the species of microlepidoptera and butterflies were included. The family Noctuidae with 181 species was dominant in the area followed by Geometridae with 129 species and Pyralidae with 72 species. Based on number of collected individuals, Geometridae was the highest and followed by Noctuidae, Pyralidae and Drepanidae. Fifty-one percent of the total species consisted of less than two specimens in the collected sample. Monthly changes of numbers of species and individuals were examined and indices of Simpson's heterogeneity and evenness were also drawn. We briefly discussed the possibility of moth species or group of species as bioindicator for assessing the condition of forest after disturbance.

A Phycitine species, Dioryctiria juniperella Yamanaka, is reported for the first time from Korea. Larval characters is also shown with its illustration. Juniperus chinensis L., J. chinensis var. globosa H., and J. procumbens S. are known as host plants for the species in this country.

The entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae Pocheon strain (ScP) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Hamyang strain (HbH) were evaluated against chestnut insect pests, The farmers＇handling methods of chestnuts were taken into consideration to develop practical biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes . The major insect pests found with chestnuts were Curculio sikkimensis, Seichocrocis punctiferalis, and Cydia kurokoi. Although individual chestnut contained one species of insect was 58% representing 18% by C. sikkimensis, 27.7% by D. punctiferalis and 12.3% by C. kurokoi. The percentage of co-infection of C. sikkimensis with D. punctiferalis was 3.3%, C. sikkimensis with C. kurokoi 5.0%, D. punctiferalis with C. kurokoi 7.7%, and C. sikkimensis with D. punctiferalis and C. kurokoi 5.0%. The entomopathogenic nematodes, ScP and HbH were effective against all the species of chestnut insect pests. The $LC_{50}$ of ScP was 14.6 for C. sikkimensis, 4.6 for D. punctiferalis, and 5.6 for C. kurokoi and that of HbH was 49.2 for C. sikkimensis, 5.8 for D. punctiferalis, and 13.9 for C. kurokoi, respectively. When ScP was applied into pot including harvested chestnuts at the rate of 4,813 infective juveniles (Ijs)/pot $(=1\times10^9/ha)$, mortality of C. sikkimensis, D. punctiferalis, and C. kurokoi was 85.3%, 96.9%, and 68.1%, respectively. The mortality of C. sikkimensis, D. punctiferalis, and C. kurokoi was 60.73%, 96.5%, and 66.8%, respectively when HbH was applied at the same rate. Combination of two nematode species produced similar effects and insects were more infected by ScP than HbH. When chestnuts were soaked in the suspension of ScP at the rate of 300, 3,000, and 30,000 Ijs for 10 minutes or 30 minutes, mortalities of all chestnut insects were high irrespective of soaking time, concentration , and nematode species.

We surveyed the moth fauna on Is. Aphae-do, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do from March to September 2006 to investigate moth diversity and basic faunal data for ecosystem change on the Island. Three hundred thirty-nine moth species, which comprised 16 families and 241 genera, were recognized. The most dominant species was a pyralid moth, Endotricha olivacealis (116 indivs.). Common species included Chiasmia hebesata, Agnidra scabiosa, and Sophta ruficeps. Two hundred-one species (59.2%) were collected only once during investigation period. The family Noctuidae with 129 species was dominant in the area followed by Geometridae (81 species) and Pyralidae (38 species). Based on number of collected individuals, Geometridae was highest and followed by Noctuidae, Pyralidae and Sphingidae.

본지 제18권제2호(1979)에 제1보로 발표된 Evergestiinae와 Pyraustinae(새들명나방아과 및 들명나방아과) 목록에 이어 포충나방아과와 물명나방아과의 목록을 제2보로 발표한다. 포충나방아과는 일명 벼명나방 무리로 불리워지기도 하나 그들의 기주식물이 모두 벼(水稻)와 연관되는 것으로 오인될 우려가 크므로 필자는 전자를 따라 포충나방아과로 명명하였으며 종들의 이름도 이에 준하여 일부 개칭(改稱)하였다. 한국동물명집(2) 곤충편에는 나방아과에 19종이 수록되어 있으나 최근 필자등에 의하여 발표된 종들을 종합하여 본 목록에는 30종이 포함되었으며 물명나방아과에는 13종이 수록되었다.
