Three species of Noctuidae, Thysanoplusia daubei (Boisduval), Conistra nawae Matsumura, and Nyctycia hoenei (Boursin), are reported for the first time in Korea. Thysanoplusia daubei can be distinguished by the dark greenish ground color of the forewings with a whitish, deeply indented antemedial line, a light grayish discal dot and a blackish ground termen on the hindwing. Conistra nawae can be distinguished by the dark ochreous forewing with dark reddish dentate antemedial and slanted postmedial line and blackish hindwing with ochreous fringe. Nyctycia hoenei can be distinguished by its dark greenish forewing with a large ochreous renal dot on the central fascia and the blackish undulating postmedial line and light blackish hindwing. Adults and genitalia are illustrated and briefly described with their biological and distributional notes.
