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.
