We report a zygaenid moth, Inope heterogyna Staudinger for the first time from Korea. This species which shows the dark brown wings without medial lines and markings, is externally indistinguishable from Inope maerens and the correct identification can be done by the genitalia examination. The female genitalia of Inope heterogyna can be distinguished by the relatively short and strongly coiled at the anterior ductus bursae.

The genus Charops is one of the small genera of the subfamily Campopleginae with 30 species reporded worldwide. All of the known host insects of Charops striatus belong to the lepidopteran family Zygaenidae, perceived as harmful. C. striatus, one of the endoparasitoids from Elcysma westwoodi, is the most damaging lepidopteran pest of Prunus yedoensis. In South Korea, host plants of C. striatus were reported by Choi & Lee in 2008. In this paper, two new host plants, Crepidiastrum denticulatum and Zea mays, of Charops striatus are reporded for the first time from South Korea. Digital images and redescription of this species are provided.
