Abstract

Fourteen species of the tribe Oidaematophorini (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae) are recognized from the Korean peninsula, with descriptions of two new species, Hellinsia chuncheonensis sp. nov., and Hellinsia cyrtoacanthaus sp. nov. Eight species, Adaina microdactyla (Hübner [1813]), Emmelina monodactyla (Linnaeus 1758), Hellinsia distinctus (Herrich-Schäffer 1855), Hellinsia ishiyamanus (Matsumura 1931), Hellinsia kuwayamai (Matsumura 1931), Hellinsia nigridactylus (Yano 1961), Oidaematophorus iwatensis (Matsumura 1931) and Pselnophorus vilis (Butler 1881), are newly added to Korean fauna. The keys to the genera of Oidaematophorini are given and all available biological information for each species is provided with illustrations of adults and of male and female genitalia.
