Arctiinae are one of the most species-rich subfamily in the family Erebidae (or classified as family Arctiidae). Around 11.155 species of 750 genera have been described from all over the world (Heppner, 2005) of which 5.931 inhabit the Neotropics (Watson & Goodger, 1986; Heppner, 1991; Scoble, 1995). Taxonomic study of the Arctiinae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. As the results of this study, 182 species of 68 genera are reported on, of which described in recent pages 135 species of 44 genera are reported from Cambodia for the first time, five species are new to science (Bayarsaikhan & Bae, 2015; Bayarsaikhan et al., 2015; Bayarsaikhan & Bae, 2016): Danielithosia wooshini; Stictane cambodiensis; S. khmerensis; S. bokorensis; Cyana angkorensis. The materials for identification are based on the collection of Incheon National University, which were collected from 2009-2015 in Cambodia by Cambodian and Korean researchers.

Family Tineidae belongs to the superfamily Tineoidea, with about 2,500 species belonging to 450 genera all over the world (Robinson, 2009). Adult are usually very small to medium-size, 5-20 mm in the wingspan. Larvae feed on fern, lichens, fungi, animal detritus such as feathers, skin and fur and on vegetable matter. In Korea, family Tineidae is reported 7 subfamilies, 26 species (Korean Checklist, 2009), while in Japan reported 13 subfamilies, about 60 species (Hirowatari et al., 2013). In the present study, the species of Korean tineidae are reviewed, with their life cycle, habitat, and food-sources such as keratin materials. We collect that and rear in the rearing cage. Main target of this research is subfamily Tineinae, and is larvae feed on a variety of substrates that contain either keratin or chitin sources such as feathers, fur, pellets, arthropod remains, guano, and wool. In this study we recognized 36 species including 4 newly recorded from Korea for the first time.

The genus Ypsolopha Latreille has been recorded total 22 species from Japan. Of them, Ypsolopha distinctata Moriuti had discovered in 1977, as endemic species until now. This species show a number of variation in color and markings. Also, it treated as Ypsolopha parenthesella (Linnaes) in 1964, even both species have genital similarity. Since first recording of this species, it has not any report in detail. From 2012 to 2015, we had carried project, ‘Securing of micro-moth specimen nearby Korean Peninsula’ supporting by Korea National Arboretum. All examined specimens collected from Tsushima Island, Japan. In the present study, we reviewed Ypsolopha distinctata Moriuti, and provide adult and both gender of genitalia pictures.
