Two geometrid species, Mixochlora argentifusa (Walker, 1861) and Scopula tsushimana Kaneko, 2018, were newly recorded from Korea. Mixochlora argentifusa, a species of Geometrinae, is characterized by dark greenish, inverse triangular central fascia with a large lunular discal dot and a thick subterminal line of the falcate forewing and band-shaped medial and subterminal lines of the hindwing. Scopula tsushimana, a species of Sterrhinae, is characterized by dark blackish, slanted, dentate ante- and postmedial, and subterminal lines with a black, minute discal dot of the forewing and a relatively thick, blackish antemedial line and strongly undulating postmedial and subterminal lines of the hindwing. We provide diagnosis, description of adults and immatures, if available, and illustrations of the adults, and male and female genitalia.

A sterrhine species, Perixera punctata (Warren) is reported for the first time from Korea. One male and one female were collected from Jeju Island, South Korea. Perixera punctata can be distinguished by the long bipectinate male antennae, the blackish discal dot and a large dark grayish dot on the subcosta of the forewings and a large dark brownish discal dot and blackish undulating postmedial line on the hindwings. In the male genitalia, a long slender valva with two arm-shaped costal processes is a distinguishing character. In the female genitalia, long and medially twisted ductus bursae with a colliculum, and large, ovate corpus bursae with minute dots are distinguishing characters. Diagnosis and description of the species are given with figures of the male and female genitalia.

Two species of Scopula, S. asthena Inoue, 1943 and S. tenuisocius Inoue, 1942, were newly recorded from Korea. Scopula asthena can be distinguished by the bipectinate male antennae and whitish wings with four blackish dots on each wing. This species is similar to S. superior (Butler, 1878) but differs in the large blackish discal dots on both wings. Scopula tenuisocius can be distinguished by its whitish forewing with light grayish, dentate antemedial line, short-line shaped discal dot and line light grayish, weakly rounded, dentate postmedial line, and whitish hindwing with a blackish discal dot and light grayish, undulating medial lines. Scopula tenuisocius is similar to S. floslactata (Haworth, 1809) but the species can be distinguished by the thinner and blackish subterminal line of the forewing that appears minutely dentate along the line. To date, 41 species of the genus Scopula are known in Korea.
