Introduction
The family Nolidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) is one of the quadrifid noctuoid families, with approximately 1,750
described species, in 186 genera belonging to eight subfamilies worldwide: Beaninae, Chloephorinae, Collomeni-
nae, Diphtherinae, Eligminae, Nolinae, Risobinae and Westermanniinae (Nieukerken et al. 2011; Zahiri et al. 2012).
Among countries adjacent to Korea, 13 species of Nolinae have been reported from the Russian Far East (Tshistja-
kov 2008), and 38 species from China (Hua 2005; László et al. 2005, 2010; Shao et al. 2008; Hu et al. 2013; Hu et
al. 2014; Han and Hu 2016; Hu et al. 2017). Japan has 53 species (Sasaki 2011).
The genus Meganola Dyar (1898) (Nolidae, Nolinae) was established for the type-species Meganola conspicua
Dyar (1898) from America. Meganola has comprises 80 species in the Palearctic and Oriental Region (László et al.
2015). It had been synonymized with Roeselia Hampson (1900) by Franclemont (1960), but it was treated as a valid
genus by Poole (1989). The genus can be recognized by the following characters: antenna bipectinate in the male,
ciliate in the female; hindwing venation with M3 and CuA1 stalked; male genitalia with valva not divided; uncus
sometimes developed, with a pair of arms; saccus V- or U-shaped; harpe thorn-shaped, seldom dentate at dorsal
margin; aedeagus slender.
Since Evonima mandschuriana (Oberthür, 1881) was reported for the first time from Korea by Fixsen (1887),
12 species of the subfamily Nolinae in Korea listed and reviewed by Leech (1888), Seitz (1912), Matsumura (1930),
Inoue (1961, 1976, 1982), Pak (1969), Yoon et al. (1982), Kim (1982), Park & Park (1988), Park & Ju (1990), Kim
(1999), Oh (2001), Choi (2011), and Paek et al. (2011). Recently, Kim et al. (2016) listed 35 species belonging to
six genera of the subfamily Nolinae for the fauna of Korea, Meganola species among them.
In Korea, only seven species of the genus Meganola had been reported before the list of Kim et al. (2016):
Meganola albula ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), M. fumosa (Butler, 1879), M. costalis (Staudinger, 1887), M.
gigantoides (Inoue, 1961), M. mediofascia (Inoue, 1958), M. protogigas (Inoue, 1970), and M. triangulalis (Leech,
1888) (Zoological Society of Korea 1968; ESK & KSAE 1994; Paek et al. 2011). Kim et al. (2016) listed six ad-
ditional species to Meganola: M. strigulosa (Staudinger, 1887), M. bryophilalis (Staudinger, 1887), M. shimekii

(Inoue, 1970), M. subgigas Inoue, 1982, M. gigas (Butler, 1884), and M. mikabo (Inoue, 1970). Consequently,
12 species of the genus Meganola are currently known in Korea including one new species. M. gigantoides was
transferred to genus Hampsonola László, Ronkay & Ronkay, 2015 followed by László et al. (2015). In addition, M.
bryophilalis excluded from Korean fauna (see below, Appendix 1.)
In this study, we review the 12 species of the genus Meganola, illustrating adults and genitalia, including the
description of a new species, Meganola parki Oh & Cha sp. n.
Material and methods
Specimens examined are deposited at the following collections: College of Life Sciences, Incheon National Univer-
sity, The Korean National Arboretum, Pocheon, Korea, and the private collection of the second author, Sung-Hwan
Oh. Genitalia were dissected and examined under Leica EZ4 stereo-microscope. Images of adults and genitalia were
taken by using a Cannon EOS 50D digital camera attached to a Cannon EF 100 mm F2.8 Macro USM lens (Can-
non, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) and a Leica DM 2500 microscope attached with Leica ICC50 E (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).

of terminal patches rectangular; cilia gray. Hindwing ground color gray; cilia gray. Abdomen gray in both sexes.
Male genitalia (Fig 22). Pseudouncus thumb-shaped, hairy, half-length of tegumen. Tegumen bell-shaped, with
one-third from basal area tumescent. Valva stout, with rounded apex; costal margin sclerotized, gently curved in-
wardly; basal appendix lobe of valva rectangular. Sacculus bulged, membranous. Harpe horn-shaped, apex blunt,
especially enlarged basal area. Saccus broadly blunt, V-shaped. Aedeagus stout syringe-shaped, without cornutus.
Female genitalia (Fig 34). Papillae anales weakly sclerotized. Apophyses posteriores almost 1.5 times longer than
anteriores. Ostium bursae membranous, straight, tubular. Ductus bursae membranous, tubular, broaden near corpus
bursae. Cervix bursae present. Corpus bursae large, ovoid, with a thorn-shaped signum.
Distribution. Korea (GG, JJ).
Hostplants. Unknown.
Remarks. This new species named for the unpublished Oh (1991) name.
László et al. (2015) and Kim et al. (2016) erroneously listed this unpublished species from Dr. Oh’s Ph.D
Thesis. In this study, we formally report M. parki from Jeju Island.
Etymology. This species name is dedicated with gratitude to Prof. Kyu-Tek Park, one of the most famous Ko-
rean lepidopterist.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to M. mediofascia (Inoue, 1958) but can be distinguished from it by the follow-
ing characters: ground color of forewing gray; medial marking broadly curved; male genitalia with pseudouncus
sharp, long, with an apical small spine, almost same length as tegumen; valva costal margin minute dentate; harpe
slender, hook-shaped; saccus one-fifth than valva; aedeagus robust; female genitalia with ostium bursae tubular;
corpus bursae, with two signa, anterior signum twice length than posterior, band-shaped signa absent; and appendix
bursae present.

Redescription. Adult (Figs 12a, b). Wingspan 14–20 mm in both sexes. Head and thorax dark gray in both
sexes. Ground color of forewing dark gray in male, brighter in female, with dark brown basal patch in costal mar-
gin; dark brown medial marking broadly waved in outer line near costa; brown subterminal line waved; cilia gray,
mixed with dark brown scales. Ground color of hindwing pale brown; cilia pale brown in both sexes. Male genitalia
(Fig 23). Pseudouncus sharp, long, with an apical small spine, almost two-thirds length than tegumen. Tegumen
triangular. Valva elongate, straight, with rounded apex; costal margin of valva sclerotized. Harpe short, slender,
hook-shaped. Saccus V-shaped, half-length of pseudouncus. Aedeagus weakly sclerotized, with cornutus. Female

Meganola bryophilalis (Staudinger, 1887)
Nola bryophilalis, 1887, 3: 181, pl. 10, Fig 5. TL: Russia (Askold).
Roeselia basifascia, Inoue, 1958: 235.
Note: This species was cited in Kim et al. (2016), but no specimen was examined from Korea. Following to Inoue et al. (1958)
and Tshistjakov (2008), male genitalia of both species are totally different by the following characters: in M. basifascia, pseu-
douncus tapering, not tumescent at median area; harpe almost one-third of valva, curved, dentate dosally, finger-shaped; saccus
bended V-shaped; aedeagus short, stout, pointed apex, with cornutus; in M. bryophilalis, pseudouncus tapering, tumescent at
median, apical pointed; harpe laminate, with sharpness triangle dentate on distal margin; saccus rather long than pseudouncus;
aedeagus about 1.5 times shorter than valva, gradually tapering to the top, with thin aciform cornutus in vesical. Therefore,
Meganola basifascia and M. bryophilalis need more study in the future.
