Xyrosaris Meyrick, 1907 is a small genus of the family Yponomeutidae, established by Meyrick (1907) for its type species Xyrosaris dyropa Meyrick, 1907. A total of nine species were recognized in the world. Most of species of the genus have been described by Meyrick at the early 20th century. Up to date, X. lichneuta Meyrick, 1918 has been reported from Korea. In the present study, we review the genus Xyrosaris from Korea, with two new species: X. sp.1 and X. sp.2. Key to species, illustrations of adult, male and female genitalia, diagnosis and short description are provided.

The Sphingidae are a family of moths (Lepidoptera, Bombycoidae), commonly known as hawk moths. The hawk moths form a family of over 1500 species of small to very large moths (40-150mm) occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The most conspicuous aspect of sphingid biology is the capacity of the moths for fast, long distance, and often migratory flight. Sphingidae adult are appropriately shaped with narrow wings and a fusiform abdomen. Sphingidae is very popular group with both amateur and professional naturalists, but the taxonomic study of the Sphingidae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. In the present study, we were collected 12 times from Cambodia in 10 area for 6 province. As the results of this study, about 455 species of 289 genera of 18 families belong to Lepidoptera (NIBR, 2009-2014). Of which, about 60 species of 30 genera of family Sphingidae were identified from Cambodia. Most of them are recorded for the first time in Cambodia.

The subfamily of Phycitinae is one of the largest groups in family Pyralidae, as Solis and Mitter (1992) estimated, about 4000 species in the world. The Phycitinae are characterized by the following characteristics: forewings long and narrow, with 11 veins or less, R3 and R4 stalked at base or fused completely, both male and female with only one frenulum; gnathos usually rod-shaped or coniform; valva usually hairy, with well-developed costa, sacculus well-sclerotized, shorter than valva, transtilla free or connected at top, juxta and vinculum U-shaped; most of male with culcita; ductus bursae usually from corpus bursae. The larvae of phycitinae are leaf rollers, leaf bores and leaf miners, also they are predators and products pests. Their distribution is throughout the world (Munroe and Solis, 1999). Leech and South (1901) first reported 3 species of Phycitini from the Korean Peninsula; after that, several researchers respectively made contributions to the fauna of Korean Phycitinae. Until 2008, Bae et al. recorded 79 species from South Korea. Currently, Qi and Bae (2014) added two more phycitinae species for Korea. In the present study, we identified two more Phycitinae species which are newly recorded from Korea. The morphology of adults and genitalia are redescribed and illustrated, the specimens examined are deposited in Incheon National University, Korea.

Taxonomic history of Korean Arctiidae was recently revised by Park (2000), comprising a total of 59 species, 31 genera from South Korea. Subsequently, Choi (2004, 2010) added two more arctiine species, and Bae et al. (2013) enumerated 63 species, 31 genera including one unrecorded species, and Lee et al. (2014) reported one more lithosiine species from South Korea. In the present study, we report and confirmone rare species, Spilarctia robusta (Leech, 1899), which has been reported by Nam (1985) from Jeju Is., but it has been omitted from the Check List of Insects from Korea (1994), due to that no specieman has been collected after Nam (1985). We found this species from the collection of the Korea National Arboretum (2012), and redescribed with illustrations of genitalic structure. Therefore 65 species of Arctiinae are known to the fauna of Arctiinae from South Korea.

The family Erebidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea) is one of four quadrifid noctuoid families recently redefined by Zahiri et al. (2011) and Zaspel et al. (2012). Fibiger and Lafontaine (2005) verified the monophyly of Erebidae in terms of morphology but retained Arctiidae and Lymantriidae as separate families. These two groups were readjusted as erebid subfamilies in the latest phylogeny of Noctuoidea (Zahiri et al., 2011), and by van Nieukerken et al. (2011). Erebidae, as currently defined comprises 1760 genera and 24.569 species (van Nieukerken et al., 2011), representing the largest family of the Lepidoptera. The quadrifid Noctuoidea describes taxa in which forewing vein M2 arises closer to the origin of M3 than M1, in the lower part of the discal cell, so that the cubital vein appears to be four-branched; M2 in the hindwing is present giving vein Cu a four-branched appearance. Taxonomic study of the Arctiidae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. As the results of this study, about 98 species of 45 genera belonging to Arctiidae were recorded from Cambodia, most of them are recorded for the first time in Cambodia.

The family Arctiidae belonging to superfamily Noctuoidea, it was divided into three subfamilies: Lithosiinae, Arctiinae, and Syntominae (Kitching and Rawlins, 1999; Conner, 2009). The family include 11,155 species of 750 genera worldwide (Heppner, 2005). About 6000 species distribute in the Neotropics but the family is represented in all the main zoogeographical regions (Scoble, 1992). Taxonomic study of the Arctiidae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. As the results of this study, about 90 species of 40 genera belonging to Arctiidae were recorded from Cambodia, most of them are recorded for the first time in Cambodia. 21 species are briefly redescribed in this study such as: Nyctemera coleta (Boisduval, 1832), Brunia antica (Walker, 1854), Darantasia cuneiplena (Walker, 1859), Eilema longpala (Holloway, 2001), Cabarda sequens (Walker, 1862), Lyclene lutara (Moore, 1859), Teulisna steineri (Holloway, 2001), Cyana obliquilineata (Hampson, 1900), and Cyana quadrinotata (Walker, 1897), etc.

Phycitinae is one of the subfamilies of Pyralidae, about 4000 phycitinae species in the world (Solis and Mitter 1992), and around 300 species of 110 genera have been reported in China (Li and Ren 2005). The subfamily of Phycitinae is characterized by the following characteristics: both wings are long and narrow, chaetosema present; forewing with 11 veins or less, R3 and R4 stalked at base or fused completely, both male and female with only one frenulum; gnathos rod-shaped or coniform; valva with costa well developed, transtilla free or connected at top, aedeagus cylindrical, male usually with culcita; ductus bursae from corpus bursae. The larvae of phycitinae are leafrollers, leafminers or products pests. Their distribution is throughout the world (Munroe and Solis, 1999). As a NE region, Jilin province lies in the center of northeast part of China, borders by North Korea, Far East of Russia, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. Until now, only 20 species of phycitinae have been reported from here, accordingly, the faunistic inventory is by no means completed, and to survey the diversity of phycitinae is significant for systematic study in China. In this study, we identified 35 species belonging to 19 genera, of them, 2 species are reported for the first time in China, and 12 species are newly reported from Jilin Province. The materials examined come from the collection of Incheon National University and Northeast Forestry University.

The family Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of moths with around 11,155 species of 750 genera (Heppner, 2005) in three subfamilies found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species (Scoble, 1995). The family is characterized in the following characters (Kitching ＆ Rawlins, 1999): hindwing with Sc+R and S fused for about 1/3 length of discal cell, occasionally completely fused, or only fused for 1/4 length of cell; almost always with either fore coxa, patagium, or abdomen orange or red and contrasting with color of dorsal thorax; metathorax with tymbal organs appearing as a striated band on katepisternum. Taxonomic study of the Arctiidae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. As the results of this study, about 90 species of 40 genera belonging to Arctiidae were recorded from Cambodia, most of them are recorded for the first time in Cambodia. Besides, 12 species have not been identified yet. The materials for identification are based on the collection of University of Incheon, which were collected from 2009-2012 in Cambodia by Cambodian and Korean researcher.

백두대간의 일원 백복령은 정상 해발 780m로 강원도 정선군 임계면, 강릉시 옥계면 및 동해시 사이에 있는 고개이며, 일정한 지역에 카르스트 지형이 집중되어 있는 특징을 가진다. 카르스트지형이란 석회암 지역에서 잘 나타나는 것으로, 화학적으로 용해하여 침식되어 나타나는 지형을 통틀어 이른다. 현재 백복령의 카르스트지대는 2004년 4월 9일 천연기념물 제440호로 지정되었으며, 지정면적은 약 543,000㎡이다. 다른 카르스트 지대와 달리 경작지로 이용되기 보다는 식생으로 덮여 있어 생태적으로 보존할 가치가 큰 지역이나, 현재까지 정확한 곤충분포상에 대한 조사가 이루어지지 않은 지역 중 하나이다. 본 조사는 백복령의 일부를 4곳으로 나누어 2011년 봄과 초여름에 2차례에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 5월에 실시된 1차 조사에서는 11목 37과 61종 86개체가 확인되었고, 6월에 실시된 2차 조사에서는 10목 55과 125종 258개체가 확인되었다. 나비목 나비류의 경우 출현시기가 여름철에 집중된 만큼 봄철의 1차 조사에서는 3과 5종만이 관찰되었으나, 초여름철의 2차 조사에서는 4과 16종이 관찰되었다. 이 지역은 해발고도가 비교적 높은 카르스트 지형의 특성상 향후 시기별 곤충상에 대한 꾸준한 조사가 필요하며, 야간조사를 더욱 강화하여 산림지역의 우점분류군 중 하나인 나비목 곤충을 중점적으로 조사할 계획이다.

The family Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of moths with around 11,000 species (Watson ＆ Goodger, 1986) in three subfamilies found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species (Scoble. MJ, 1995). The family is characterized in the following characters (Kitching ＆ Rawlins, 1999): hindwing with Sc+R and S fused for about 1/3 length of discal cell, occasionally completely fused, or only fused for 1/4 length of cell; almost always with either fore coxa, patagium, or abdomen orange or red and contrasting with color of dorsal thorax; metathorax with tymbal organs appearing as a striated band on katepisternum. Taxonomic study of the Arctiidae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. In the present study, we were collected three times from Cambodia in three protected forests are Seima, Central Cardamom, and North Cardamom (Pursat). Each times, we were collected from 3 to 5 sites in each forests. As the results of this study, about 70 species of 32 genera belonging to Arctiidae were recorded from Cambodia. The materials examined based on the collection of University of Incheon, which has collected from 2009-2010 in Cambodia by Cambodian and Korean researcher.

The climate of Mongolia is extremely continental with long, cold, and dry winters, and with relatively short, mild and dry summers. The mid-winter, temperatures averages -26℃ with extremes recorded as low as -58℃. Summer temperatures in the Gobi desert may reach ±40℃. Annual precipitation ranges from 600 mm in the Khentii, Altai and Khovsgol mountains to less than 100 mm in the Gobi. On the biodiversity side, more than 3,000 species of vascular plants, 927 lichens, 437 mosses, 875 fungi, and numerous algae have been recorded with many more yet to be classified.
