We report one newly recorded species Warreniplema fumicosta (Warren) for the first time in Korea. In July, a single female specimen of Warreniplema fumicosta was collected at a high altitude on Mount Jirisan. This species can be distinguished by the light blackish forewing with the largely undulating ante- and postmedial lines, and the bicolorous hindwing with yellowish upper half dark brown lower half, and dark brown ante- and postmedial lines. So far, there have been 13 species belonging to seven genera of the Epipleminae subfamily that have been documented, and this includes W. fumicosta.

Three species of Epipleminae: Europlema nubifasciaria (Leech), Dysaethria meridiana (Inoue), and Phazaca theclata ($Guen{\acute{e}}e$), are reported for the first time from Korea. Europlema leleji Sinev turns out to be a new synonym of Epiplema nubifasciaria Leech and the latter is newly combined to the genus Europlema. Its female genitalia are first described. This is the first record of Europlema for the Korean fauna. Photos of adults and genitalia are provided for the treated species.
