Abstract
In the present study, a species of the subfamily Ypsolophinae, Ypsolopha leuconotella (Snellen, 1884), is
reported for the first time from Korea. The diagnosis, description, distribution, adult and genitalia photographs
are provided. Species checklist of Korea Ypsolopha are provided.

1. Introduction
The genus Yp s o l o pha is the largest group of the
family Ypsolophidae comprising over 160 described
species worldwide (Jin et al., 2013). The Yps o l o pha
has a worldwide distribution mainly temperate areas,
with high diversity in East-Asia including Far-East
Russia. Especially, 60 species are recorded with 21
new species in China (Jin et al., 2013). Japan has
recorded a total 22 species with one unidentified
species (Yamauchi & Hirowatari, 2013). As a recent
research results (Sohn et al., 2010, Ponomarenko et
al., 2011, Ponomarenko & Zinchenko, 2013), the
genus Yp s o l oph a has been reported 23 species in Far
East Russia. In Korea, study on the genus Yp s o l oph a
has been carry out by those researchers: Park (1983),
Byun & Park (2001), Byun & Bae (2001), Sohn et al.
(2010), Ponomarenko et al. (2011). Park et al. (2014),
Na et al. (2016a, b). Up to now, total 19 species of
this genus reported in Korea.
Ypso l o p ha Latreille can be distinguished by the
following character combination: i) forewing elongate
with round or falcate at apex; ii) labial palpus with
well tuft on ventral surface of second segment; iii)
gnathos of male genitalia long, shape as like a tongue
with granulate ventrally; iv) signum of female genitalia
band shaped with one or two transverse ridge.
In the present study, we report one species Yps o l o ph a
leuconotella (Snellen) from Korea for the first time.
Korean checklist of the genus is provided (Table 1).
2. Materials and Methods
Specimens examined are based on the materials
collected in whole country, Korea. The specimens
were collected using by the light traps with a mercury
vapor lamp (200V/200W) and four lamps (FL20SbL
Kumbo). Genitalia were dissect and examined under a
Leica EZ4 stereo-microscope. Images of adults and
genitalia were taken with a Nikon D700 digital
camera attached to a Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor
105 mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens and a Leica DM 2500
microscope attached with Leica ICC50 E. Voucher
specimens are deposited in the Animal Diversity
Laboratory, College of Life Sciences, Incheon National
University, Korea. Abbreviations used herein are as
follows; TL-type locality; GW-Gwangwon-do.
