  • A noctuid moth, Condica dolorosa (Walker, 1865) was newly recorded from Korea. Condica dolorosa can be distinguished by the blackish forewing that shows irregular yellowish dots on the ante- and postmedian and a large pale yellowish dot at dorsum, and yellowish white discal dot with renal marking, and the basally whitish hindwing. Externally, Condica dolorosa is similar to C. cyclicoides but can be distinguished by the dark ochreous dots on dorsum of the forewing. The female genitalia of C. dolorosa are similar to those of C. cyclicoides but can be distinguished by the large bowl-shaped ostium bursae with a midventral invagination and the long ductus bursae. To date, five species of the genus Condica have been recorded in Korea.
