Since Linneaus (1758) named 4,162 species of living organism, 1.75 milion species have been described and named. It is less than 20% of the commonly accepted estimates of 10 million species on the planet earth. An average of 7,000 species per year was described during last 250 years, and, at this rate of species description, it will take another 1400 years to complete documentation of them. Who will do it? The real facing problem is the number of trained and practising taxonomists is declining worldwide at a time when demands for taxonomic science are increasing. A recent estimate suggests that the number of professional taxonomists worldwide is only 4,000-6,000 (Haas and Hauser, 2006). How about the situation is in Korea? In addition, the change of weather and the global warming accelerates more frequent invasion of harmful subtropical species, and taxonomist’s activity is needed more than ever. In shortly speaking, we are facing with a taxonomic “crisis” with erosion of taxonomy during last decades. The major reason is maybe that systematics has made little impact on the science with a narrow intellectual perspective, and most taxonomists have become accustomed to working on their speciality taxon without concern for relating their work to other broader environmental and societal issues in the facing with the global warming; e.g., invasive species, quarantine, use of bioresources, and ecosystem services. There is no question that taxonomy is the fundamental disciplines of biology, however, first of all, taxonomists should realize that how their research is related to other related sciences and how they make collaborative works. Especially, the basic taxonomic knowledge and skills generated by taxonomists is more needed to cope with the change of weather, due to the global warming which make critical change of the ecological structure in nature. In the presentation, the strategy for innovation of the living organism on our planet, with a crisis of taxonomy, will be discussed, and emphasized how taxonomists serve and contribute to other related topics. In addition, author will introduce his acitivity for innovation works on Lepidoptera, representing more than 500 new species and 23 new genera of moths described worldwide during last 40 years of his taxonomic research. The total number of new species described in Korea by him is 104 species, including 57 species of Gelechiidae, and more than 400 species and 22 new genera in the subtropical region, including Thailand, Vietnam, and New Guinea. Will it be possible to exceed 500 insect species described worldwide by a taxonomist in future?

In a faunistic survey for the family Coleophoridae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) on Is. Yeonpyeong and Is. Baengnyeong in 2010 and 2006, respectively, eleven species of Coleophora were recognized. Among them, three species; Coleophora adjunctella Hodgkinson, C. chenopodii Oku, and C. kurokoi Oku are reported for the first time from Korea. For the newly recorded species, taxonomical remarks and illustration of adults and genitalia are given.

The family Pterophoridae (Lepidoptera), plume moths, consist of 1,136 species listed in the ‘world catalogue’ by Gielis (2003), and a few more described since then. Approximately 250 species are known in the Palaearctic Regions (Arenberger, 1995). In this study, 35 species of 21 genera have been reviewed from Korea (Matsumura 1931, 1938; Zoological Society of Korea 1968; Park 1983; Arenberger 1991; Kim et al., 2010a, 2010b, 2012a, 2012b). We suggest the problematic species, Platyptilia ignifera, is morphologically and genetically separated from congeneric species supporting the possibility as a new genus, and employ the classification system of Arenberger (1995) rather than that of Gielis (1993) using parsimony based on morphological characters.

The tribe Oxyptilini Bigot et al. 1998 (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) consists of fifteen genera with more than 100 species worldwide. Almost half of them are mainly distributed in Palaeartic Region, others are in Afrotropical, Oriental, and Nearctic regions, and less than 10 species are in Australiasian, Neotropical, and Pacific regions (Gielis 2003). Nevertheless, it has been poorly known in the Asian part of Palaeartic region, with five species in Japan (Yano 1963), two species in Russia (Sinev 2008), and one species in China (Li et al. 2003). In Korea, only one species, Stenodacma pyrrhodes (Meyrick 1889), has been reported from North Korea (Arenberger 1991). During this study, four genera (Capperia Tutt, Oxyptilus Zeller, Procapperia Adamczewski, and Tomotilus Yano), are recognized for the first time from Korea, and a new generic combination of Tomotilus celebrates (Merick 1932), comb. nov., is proposed.

The genus Promalctis Meyrick, 1908 is the largest genus of the family Oecophoridae, with more than 150 described species in the world (Wang et al., 2009; Du et al., 2009). The genus is mainly distributed in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions, probably with the highest diversity in the South and East Asia. However it has been very poorly studied to date, with only with only 4 publications which were based on very limited collecting. In total, 76 were reported from China, which is more than half of the known species in the Palaearctic region(Wang, 2006; Du et al., 2009), 14 species known from Korea (Park & Park, 1998), 12 species from Japan (Fujusawa, 2002), 8 species from Russian Far East (Lvovsky, 1976, 1985, 1986), and 3 species from Nepal (Lvovsky, 2000a). In the Oriental region, since Meyrick (1908a, 1908b) described 14 species from India and Myanmar, Lvovsky (2000a, 2000b) described 25 additional species from the southern Asia, including the southern part of China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In Vietnam, only 4 species, Promalactis albiapicalis Lvovsky 1997, P. buonluoi Lvovsky 1997, P. fansipanella Lvovsky 2007, and P. suzukiella (Matsumura 1931), have been described to date(Lvovsky, 1997, 2007a). The aim of this study is to describe six new species of Promalactis based on material mainly collected in the northern part of Vietnam. Adults, head parts, wing venations, and the male or female genitalia of the new species are illustrated.

We reviewed the tribe Oidaematophorini from the Korean peninsula. Fourteen species of 5 genera are recognized including new species, Hellinsia chuncheonensis sp. nov. and H. cyrtoacantha sp. nov. Five species are also reported as new to Korea: Adaina microdactyla (Hübner [1813]), Hellinsia ishiyamanus (Matsumura 1931), H. kuwayamai (Matsumura 1931), H. nigridactyla (Yano 1961) and Oidaematophorus iwatensis (Matsumura 1931). All the available information, including distributional ranges and biology of each taxon, is provided. The keys to the genera and species of Oidaematophotini is given. Illustrations of the images and male and female genitalia are provided.

The genus Platyptilia Hübner is the largest group of the tribe Platyptiliini (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae) distributed in the Afrotropical and Palaearctic regions and rarely from the Pacific and Nearctic region, with 107 species (Gielis 2003) known from all over the world. From the Palaearctic region, 25 species have been described: 6 from Japan, 3 from China, and 11 from Russia, and two species, Platyptilia suigensis Matsumura and P. farfarellus Zeller from Korea. Recently, we recognized 5 species, including a new species and two species new to korea: Platyptilia ignifera Meyrick and P. nemoralis Zeller.

Park (2001) described a new species of Tisis Walker, which was the first lecithocerid recognized from Thailand. Subsequently, several taxonomic papers on the family in Thailand have been published, in which more than 50 new taxa were described (Park, 2002a-b; 2003a-c; 2004; 2005a-b; 2006a-b). For the genus Torodora Meyrick, Park (2002a, 2007) described 18 new species from Thailand. Recent study of the lecithocerid moths collected in Thailand during 1980 revealed two species with venation that does not match that of any of the known genera of the family. The two species look more or less similar each other in the forewing coloration, but the shape of the wings and their venation are quite different. Generally, for the genus-level taxonomy in the family Lecithoceridae, the wing venation has been treated as most important character distinguished genera, and many genera of the family, more than 40% of the known genera, were established as monotypic by early workers (Meyrick, 1925; Gozmäny, 1978), based on their different venations. Although the wing venation is an important character to define the generic status of the family, the combination of venations with the other morphological characters including genital character should be considered. For these reasons, many small genera of the family are needed to be revised with a result in comparison of more characters other than wing venation. In this study, two new genera, Caveana gen. nov. and Triviola gen. nov., belonging to the subfamily Torodorinae, based on Caveana diemseoki sp. nov. and Triviola puiensis sp. nov. are described. At the same time, two new Torodora species, T. karismata sp. nov. and T. youwon sp. nov., are also described from Thailand. Images of adults and genitalia are given. Specimens examined are based on the collection of the Osaka Prefecture University, collected in Thailand by Japanese specialists during 1980

The genus Nemophora Hoffmannsegg is the largest group belonging of the family Adelidae. Based on the material in the collections of the Kangwon Nat. University, Incheon University, and Korea National Arboretum, Korea, we found that three species Nemophora albiantennella Issiki, N. tyriochrysa Meyrick and N. wakayamensis Matsumura are known for the first time from Korea. Taxonomic notes and photographs of adults and male/female genitalia for the newly known species are provided.

In Vietnam, the moths were reported by some foreign entomologist such as de Joannis (1900), Ronkay (1989), Speidel & Kononenko (1998), Park et al. (2006), and Lien et al. (2008). In 1928 -1929 de Joannis created the original data of moths. His final reports on Lepidoptera were 45 families, 611 species of Noctuidae, and 461 species of Pyralidae. After the Vietnam War in North (1954), many times were collected in North Vietnam by National Institute of Plant Protection (NIPP). But all of them focused on fauna of the agricultural pests. According to the publication of NIPP (1967-1968), 533 species of 37 families of which there were 91 species of Noctuidae in the North Vietnam and some other moths known as the insect pests have been reported. In 1977 there were 77 species of Pyralidae known as the insect pests in the North Vietnam. The purpose of this study is to assess diversity of Lepidoptera order and to clarify the fauna in the Northern part of Vietnam, base on the Korea Vietnam collaborative insect-research project (2004-2006). The collecting have been conducted in four National Parks (Tam Dao, Cuc Phuong, Ba Be, and Bach Ma) Given results of the survey in the North of Vietnam from 2002 to 2006, 816 species of Lepidoptera classified by 4 families; Noctuidae (564 species), Pyraloidae (201 species), Sphingidae (28 species), and Lecithoceridae (23 species). Many of the identified species of macro-moths including Noctuidae, Pyraloidae and Lecithoceridae are known as the very newest one in Vietnam.

Genus Hellinsia Tutt, 1905 is the largest group of the tribe Oidaematophorini (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae, Platyptilinae). The genus is mostly distributed in the Neotropical region and Nearctic region, and partly in the Palaearctic and Afrotripical regions, with more than 190 described species from all over the world (Gielis, 2003). Among them, approximately 30 species of the genus Hellinsia Tutt have been reported in the Palaeartic region, including 9 species of Japan, 14 of Russia, and 15 of China. However, it has been poorly known from Korea to date, with only 4 known species: 2 species (H. lienigianus (Zeller) and H. distinctus (Herrich-Schffer) from South Korea (Park 1993, 1994) and 2 species (Hellinsia albidactylus (Yano) and H. lateolus (Yano)) from North Korea (Arenberger, 1991). This study is aimed to review all known species of the genus Helinsia Tutt in the Korean Peninsula, with three previously unrecorded species: Hellinsia ishiyamanus (Matsumura), H. Kuwayamai (Matsumura), and H. nigridactyla (Yano). Material examined in this study are preserved in the Insect collection, Korea National Arboretum, Korea. Consequently, 7 species, in total, are recorded from the Korean Peninsula.

The family Gracillariidae belonging to Gracillarioidea comprises more than 2,000 described species of 75 genera in the world (Davis & Robinson, 1999). The members of the family are mostly small-sized moths, which can be distinguished by a short (2-10mm in length) and lanceolated narrow wing with prominent cilia. The larvae of the family have been known as leaf-miner and hypermetamorphic development in larval stages. In Korea, it has been recorded 39 species of 11 genera by several researchers (Nakayama & Okamoto, 1940; Ko, 1969; Park, 1975; Park et al. 1977; Kumata & Park, 1978; Park, 1983; Kumata et al., 1983; Park & Han, 1986). Recently, Sohn (2007) reported 6 species without descriptions and detail information for the species. However, it is necessary to investigate and review the Korean Gracillarid moths, due to their lack knowledge from Korea to date, comparing with Japanese fauna, which contains 225 known species from Japan (http://www. jpmoth.org/). In this study, three species, Cloptilia heringi Kuroko, Phyllonryeter cavella (Zeller), and P. tritorrhecta (Meyrick), of the family Gracillariidae aree reported for the first time from Korea.

The family Pterophoridae (Lepidoptera) commonly known as 'plume moths' is cosmopolitanand comprises 1,136 species in the world (Gielis, 2003). Of these, approximately 250 species are known in the Palaearctic Region (Arenberger, 1995). In Korea, since two species of the family, Platyptilia rhododactyla (Denis et Schiffermller)) and P. suigensis Matsumura were reported by Matsumura (1931) and Park (1983) listed 7 species for the fauna of Korea, excepting P. suigensis, no additional species has been reported from Korea. The genus Nippoptilia, belonging to subfamily Platyptilinae,is a small group with only 7 described species in the world. Of them, 4 species Nippoptilia eochrodes (Meyrick), N. issikii Yano, N. minor Hori, and N. vitis (Sasaki) have been known in the Palearctic Region (Gielis 2003), distributing 3species from Japan (Gielis, 2003) and a single species from China, and N. vitis (Sasaki) from Korea respectively. This paper is aimed to review all known species of the genus Nippoptilia in Korea, based on material deposited in all available collections in Korea. All the type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Insect collection, Korea National Arboretum, Korea.

Twenty six species of the genus Coleophora Hübner (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) are recognized in the Korean peninsula, including six that are new to Korea: Coleophora albicans Zeller, C. falkovitshella Vives, C. honshuella Baldizzone & Oku, C. japonicella Oku, C. rectimarginalis Li, and C. vestianella (Linnaeus). A key for all known species is given. Bibliographies, collecting localities, distribution, biological information, and some taxonomic notes for the all known species are provided, with illustrations of the male or female genitalia.

The family Adelidae, commonly known as 'Fairy Long-horn moths' is a group of primitive monotrysian moths belonging to superfamily Incurvaroidea. Based on the material in the collections of the Kangwon Nat. University, Incheon University, and Korea National Arboretum, Korea, we found that three species Nematopogon dorsigurella (Erschoff, 1877), Nemophora decisella (Walker, 1863), and Nemophora smaragdaspis (Meyrick, 1924) are known for the first time from Korea. Taxonomic notes and photographs of adults and male and/or female genitalia for newly known species are illustrated.
