The Pyraustinae is one of the large subfamily in Crambidae. In Korea, more than 60 species in 20 genera of the Pyraustinae have been reported. Recently, Demobotys pervulgalis (Hampson, 1913) and Ecpyrrhorrhoe dissimilis (Yamanaka, 1958) were recorded by Choi et al. (2015). Among of the Pyraustinae, the genera Callibotys and Sinibotys were established by Munroe and Mutuura (1969). In this study, we report two species of genera Callibotys and Sinibotys from Korea for the first time, with a newly recorded genus Callibotys. Illustrations of adults, male and female genitalia, description are provided.

Three species of the genus Glaucocharis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Crambinae) are reported for the first time from Korea: G. melistoma (Meyrick), G. rosannoides (Bleszynski), and G. vermeeri (Bleszynski). The description, distribution, image of the adults, males, and females genitalia are provided. Also, checklist of the genus Glaucocharis from Korea is present.

Laos is located in mainland of Southeast Asia, covered with 236,800 square kilometers. This country is located at the heart of the Indo-Chinese Peninsula and is surrounded by Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and China, providing a potential for a resource base and land- link in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Spilomelinae described over 3,800 species in the world, but Species diversity of Spiloemlinae moths were recorded only seven species in Laos by Shubhalaxmi (2011), Mally (2015) and Park et al. (2017). In this study, we provided seven species of illustrations and basic data on Laotian moth research.

The family Tischeriidae belongs to superfamily Tischerioidea, comprising four genera and 115 species. Tischeriidae is known as a leafminer, Tischeriid larvae feed between the leaves of the host plants through all instars. In Korea, two genera and four species have been recorded. recently, Sohn (2007) reported one species and Byun et al (2009) arranged checklist of Tischeriidae. In the present study, we provided checklist of this family, including a newly recorded species from Korea. Brief descriptions of species and illustration of adult and genitalia are provided.

Cybalomiinae is a small subfamily of the family Crambidae, reporting 18 genera, 122 species in the world. However, this subfamily of species are still included in subfamily Pyraustinae in Korea with two species: Trichophysetis cretacea (Butler, 1879) and T. rufoterminalis (Christoph, 1881). Recently, these species transferred to Cybalomiinae by Shaffer et al. (1996). However, it was not considered in Korea. In the present study, we report the subfamily Cybalomiinae from Korea for the first time, with a newly recorded genus. Illustrations of adults, male and female genitalia, diagnosis, description are provided.

The family Nolidae belongs to the superfamily Noctuoidea comprising about 1,800 described species of 186 genera in the world. In China, a total of 101 species, 45 genera were recorded in ‘Fauna Sinica’ Vol.16, (1999) and in case of Japan, 110 species, 42 genera have been recorded in ‘The Standard Moth of Japan Ⅱ’, (2011). In Korea, a taxonomic study of this family has been carried out by several reseachers: Fixsen (1887), Leech (1888), Inoue (1976, 1982), Oh (2001), Sohn et al (2005), Choi (2006, 2011). However the family Nolidae has rarely been studied in Korea. A total 45 species, 25 genera have been reported from Korea (NIBR, 2016). In the present study, We overviewed the family Nolidae, with illustrations of adults in each genus, add checklist.

Pyraustinae and Spliomelinae are one of the largest subfamily in the family Crambidae, They are reported more than5,000 species in the world. The majority of them is distributed in tropical regions, also some species discovered intosubtropical and warm temperate areas. Laos has a tropical climate because it is located in Southeast Asia. but Laos properlyhas not studied moths diversity by the present.In the present study, we provided a checklist of the subfamily Pyraustinae and Spilomelinae from Laos, including adultphotographs, distributions.

Two sibling species of the genus Monopis Hübner are collected in Jeju Island, with one of them reported for the first time from Korea. The genus currently comprises approximately 100 named species, which are widespread and diverse throughout the Old World, but poorly represented in the New World. Many species of the genus Monopis have been reported in bird nests, feces, and wool products. The larvae of these moths feed on keratin and chitin sources, such as feather, pellet and guano. The adults are briefly described, illustrated and compared, including the male and female genitalia.
