The genus Parapammene Obraztsov, 1960 belonging to the subfamily Olethreutinae, family Tortricidae includes very small to small moths. The genus is characterized by the followings: forewing with median fascia and speculum, and without whitish stria below apex; tegumen of male genitalia being a broad band with the top emarginate laterally; seventh stenite of female genitalia, excavated in posterior edge (Horak, 2006). This genus comprising about 16 species in the world (Brown, 2005). In palaearctic region, there are about 10 known species, 5 species are recorded from Oriental region, and one species in Australian region (Komai, 1999). Comprehensive reviews of genus Parapammene Obraztsov have been given by Obraztsov (1960), Danilevsky and Kuznetzov (1968), and Razowski (1989) and Komai (1999). The following character states support the monophyly of Parapammene (Komai, 1999): 1) ductus bursae with a narrow, band-like sclerite; 2) seventh sternite of female a convex (not flat) plate; 3) S2 without anterolateral processes. In this study, the genus Parapammene Obraztsov are reported for the first time from Korea, with the first record of parapammene selectana (Christoph, 1881), P. petulantana (Kennel, 1901) and P. aurifascia Kuznetzov, 1981. Morphological characters of this genus are redescribed with illustrations of adults, male and female genitalia.
