Historical review of the subfamily Hypenodinae (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) with allied taxa from Korea
The subfamilies Hypenodinae and Boletobiinae has various size with wingspan 5.5-28mm, belonging to the family Erebidae. They are mainly distributed the Palaearctic region, including temperate zone. Host plants of them are known as fungi and lichen etc. Some larvae live with lichen on their bodies. The subfamily belongs to subfamily is the Noctuoidea, containing more than 42,500 species. Accordingly, a unified high-level classification system could not be established due to the different opinions among the researchers and perspectives on the characteristics of each taxon. Recently, Zahiri et al. (2011, 2012) established the taxonomy of the family Erebidae, based on the molecular phylogenetic study. As we know, there has been a lot of confusion regarding the taxonomic positions of subfamily with allied taxa according to the complicated upper taxonomic system. Thus, this study is aimed to review and discuss the taxonomic history of the groups in this study.
