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.
