This study reports the first records of four coleophorids, namely Coleophora kamchatica (Anikin, 1999), C. lativittella Erschoff, 1877, C. levantis Baldizzone & Oku, 1988, and C. citrarga Meyrick, 1934, in Korea. Additionally, the presence of two species, C. montaniella Oku & Kusunoki, 2018, and C. artemisicolella Bruand, 1855, in Korea has been overlooked in the previous checklist of the family Coleophoridae in Korea, despite there being evidence of their existence. Consequently, with these additions, the total number of known species in Korea has been confirmed to be 42, expanding from the previously identified 36 species. Diagnostic characteristics and photographs of adults and genitalia for the four newly recorded species are provided, along with evidence supporting the presence of the two overlooked species in Korea.

The family Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) is known as one of the largest families in Microlepidoptera, encompassing about 600 genera and more than 5,000 described species worldwide. However, the genus Altenia Sattler, 1960 has been poorly studied in Korea, with only one known species. Here we introduce a new species, Altenia parascriptella sp. nov., from Korea, providing photos of adults and genitalia for both sexes, along with diagnostic characteristics.

Chrysaster Kumata, 1961는 Gracillariidae (나비목: 가는나방상과)의 Lithocolletinae에 속해 있으며 우리나라에는 Chrysaster hagicola Kumata, 1961 한 종만이 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 동속의 국내 미기록종인 Chrtsaster ostensackenella (Fitch, 1859)를 처음으로 소개한다. 본 종의 유충과 성충은 Robinia pseudoacacia L. (콩목: 콩과)에서 채집되었다. 종 동정을 위한 특징과 간략한 기재를 제시하고, 성충과 수컷 및 암컷 생식기의 사진을 제공하였다. 최근 중국에서 양봉업에 매우 중요한 아까시나무의 심각한 해충으로 보고된 바 있어 본 종에 대해 조속한 추가 연구가 필요한 상황이다.

The genus Adrapsa Walker, 1859 belongs to Herminiinae of Erebidae in Lepidoptera. In Korea, only one species, Adrapsa simplex (Butler, 1879) has been recorded so far. Here we add another species, Adrapsa simplex (Butler, 1879) as a new record to the Korean fauna. A short description for the species is given with adult images of male and female and their genitalia, and its COI barcode sequence is also provided.

Porous thick film of alumina which is fabricated by freeze tape casting using a camphene-camphor-acrylate vehicle. Alumina slurry is mixed above the melting point of the camphene-camphor solvent. Upon cooling, the camphene- camphor crystallizes from the solution as particle-free dendrites, with the Al2O3 powder and acrylate liquid in the interdendritic spaces. Subsequently, the acrylate liquid is solidified by photopolymerization to offer mechanical properties for handling. The microstructure of the porous alumina film is characterized for systems with different cooling rate around the melting temperature of camphor-camphene. The structure of the dendritic porosity is compared as a function of ratio of camphene-camphor solvent and acrylate content, and Al2O3 powder volume fraction in acrylate in terms of the dendrite arm width.
