This study was aimed to investigate the elevational and seasonal variation of moth diversity of Mt. Baegun-san, Gwangyang-city, Jeonnam. Moth collecting was carried out using a UV light trap at three different elevational sites from September to October 2014 and from April to October 2015 (9 times) except winter. A total of 288 moth species and 1,444 individuals in 15 families were identified. Geometridae (97 species and 740 individuals) were the most dominant in the numbers of species and individuals, followed by Noctuidae (62 species, 193 individuals), Erebidae (52 species, 177 individuals) and Notodontidae (16 species, 111 individuals). Elevational change showed that the lower elevation, the higher number of species and individuals. Seasonal change of numbers of species and individuals showed the M-shaped pattern with June and August peaks. Compared to the previous records from historical literatures, 197 species were newly added and the total moth species richness of Mt. Baegun-san comprised 449 species in 20 families. The Chao 2 estimated number of species using the observed species including unpublished data set was 1,530 species that comprised about 43% of the Korean Lepidopteran fauna. This large number of estimated species requested the more extensive and long-term survey for better understanding of the total moth fauna in this area.

Moth diversity of Mt. Duryunsan and its neighboring area, Haenam, Jeonnam, collected from 2001 to 2004 is presented. A total of 498 species were identified and a logarithmic equation to the species accumulation data provided a good fit (R2=0.98; y=218.

이번 연구는 한국산 Abraxini족에 속하는 5속 12종의 분류학적 연구이다. 이들 속 및 종은 Abraxas Leach의 7종(grossulariata Linnaeus, sylvata Scopoli, niphonibia Wehrli, fulvobasalis Warren, latifasciata Warren, miranda Butler, and pseudomiranda sp. nov.), Ligdia Guenee의 1종(japonaria Leech), Lomaspilis Guenee의 1종(marginata Linnaeus), Peratophyga Warren의 1종(hyalinata Kollar)및 Heterostegane Hampson의 2종 (hyriaria Warren and cararia Hubner)이다. 한국산 Abrazini에 대한 분지론적 분석이 11개의 분류군과 29개의 형태학적 형질을 이용하여 이루어졌다. 그 결과 한 개의 계통도를 선택하였는데 이 계통도내의 속간의 유연관계는 다음과 같다(Eutoea(Heterostegane hyriaria(Ligdia(Lomaspilis, heterostegane cararia)))), (Peratophyga, Abraxas). Abraxini 족 및 4속(Abraxas, Lidia, Lomaspilis및 Peratophyga)의 단계통성과 이들간의 상호유연관계를 논의하였다. 그리고 분석결과 한 속 Heterostegane는 단계통성군이 아님이 밝혀졌다. 그 밖에 Abraxas속 7종의 한국내 분포를 도식화하였다.
