The genus Nola (Nolidae, Nolinae) was established by Leach (1815), with the Noctua palliola Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775 (a junior subjective synonym of Phalaena cucullatella Linnaeus, 1758) from Vienna, Austria. Nola comprises over 200 species: Africa and western Palearctic approximately described 100 speices (Hacker et al., 2012); Oriental and Eastern Palearctic regions have over 100 species (László et al., 2010; Sasaki et al., 2011; Kononenko and Pinratana, 2013). Two species of the genus Nola Leach; Nola euryzonata (Hampson, 1900) and Nola lucidalis (Walker, 1865), reported for the first time in Laos. Illustrations of adults and genitalia of all the examined species are provided.

The genus Pachynoa Lederer, 1863 reported 13 species in the world. This genus was established by Lederer, 1863 have been treated within the genera Pitacanda Moore, 1886 by Hampson, 1896 and Hypermeces Turner, 1933 by Shaffer et al., 1996. Species of the genus Pachynoa are mostly distributed from India and Taiwan to Solomon island. In this study, the genus Pachynoa is newly recorded in Laos with two species, Pachynoa xanthochyta (Turner, 1933) and Pachynoa thoosalis (Walker, 1859). These species are redescribed with illustrations of the adults and the genitalia, and their distribution is updated.

The genus Coptotriche belongs to leafmining family Tischeriidae, comprising about 60 species in the world. They live in inside leaves during immature stage; larvae feed on tissue of the leaf, producing mining trace. The pupa also spend in the mine, and emerge to become a adult from the mine. In Korea, two species, C. angusticollella and C. heinemanni, are reported and are known as pest about Rosa multiflora and Rubus crataegifolius respectively. In the present study, we review three species of genus Coptotriche in Korea with a new species. Brief descriptions and illustrations of the adults, male and female genitalia, larvae, pupae, and host plants are provided.

The Pyraustinae is one of the large subfamily in Crambidae. In Korea, more than 60 species in 20 genera of the Pyraustinae have been reported. Recently, Demobotys pervulgalis (Hampson, 1913) and Ecpyrrhorrhoe dissimilis (Yamanaka, 1958) were recorded by Choi et al. (2015). Among of the Pyraustinae, the genera Callibotys and Sinibotys were established by Munroe and Mutuura (1969). In this study, we report two species of genera Callibotys and Sinibotys from Korea for the first time, with a newly recorded genus Callibotys. Illustrations of adults, male and female genitalia, description are provided.

The family Tischeriidae belongs to superfamily Tischerioidea, comprising four genera and 115 species. Tischeriidae is known as a leafminer, Tischeriid larvae feed between the leaves of the host plants through all instars. In Korea, two genera and four species have been recorded. recently, Sohn (2007) reported one species and Byun et al (2009) arranged checklist of Tischeriidae. In the present study, we provided checklist of this family, including a newly recorded species from Korea. Brief descriptions of species and illustration of adult and genitalia are provided.

Laos is located in mainland of Southeast Asia, covered with 236,800 square kilometers. This country is located at the heart of the Indo-Chinese Peninsula and is surrounded by Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and China, providing a potential for a resource base and land- link in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Spilomelinae described over 3,800 species in the world, but Species diversity of Spiloemlinae moths were recorded only seven species in Laos by Shubhalaxmi (2011), Mally (2015) and Park et al. (2017). In this study, we provided seven species of illustrations and basic data on Laotian moth research.

Cybalomiinae is a small subfamily of the family Crambidae, reporting 18 genera, 122 species in the world. However, this subfamily of species are still included in subfamily Pyraustinae in Korea with two species: Trichophysetis cretacea (Butler, 1879) and T. rufoterminalis (Christoph, 1881). Recently, these species transferred to Cybalomiinae by Shaffer et al. (1996). However, it was not considered in Korea. In the present study, we report the subfamily Cybalomiinae from Korea for the first time, with a newly recorded genus. Illustrations of adults, male and female genitalia, diagnosis, description are provided.

The family Nolidae belongs to the superfamily Noctuoidea comprising about 1,800 described species of 186 genera in the world. In China, a total of 101 species, 45 genera were recorded in ‘Fauna Sinica’ Vol.16, (1999) and in case of Japan, 110 species, 42 genera have been recorded in ‘The Standard Moth of Japan Ⅱ’, (2011). In Korea, a taxonomic study of this family has been carried out by several reseachers: Fixsen (1887), Leech (1888), Inoue (1976, 1982), Oh (2001), Sohn et al (2005), Choi (2006, 2011). However the family Nolidae has rarely been studied in Korea. A total 45 species, 25 genera have been reported from Korea (NIBR, 2016). In the present study, We overviewed the family Nolidae, with illustrations of adults in each genus, add checklist.

The genus Cephimallota Bruand, 1851 is reported for the first time in Korea, with one species Cephimallota chasanica Zagulajev, 1965. Adult and genitalia of male are described, with illustrations.

In this study, Monopis zagulajevi Gaedike, 2000 is reported for the first time from Korea. Illustrations of adults and genitalia are presented, with species descriptions. Also, Korean checklist of genus Monopis is provided.

One species of the genus Calamotropha Zeller (Lepidoptera, Crambinae), Calamotropha yamanakai Inoue, 1958 is reported for the first time from Korea. The description, image of the adult, male, and female genitalia are provided in this paper. Also, checklist of the genus Calamotropha from Korea is provided.

The genus Culladia Moore [1886] (Lepidoptera, Crambinae) are found for the first time in the Korea with a species C. dentilinealis Hampson, 1919. The description, image of the adult, male, and female genitalia are provided in this paper.

Pyraustinae and Spliomelinae are one of the largest subfamily in the family Crambidae, They are reported more than5,000 species in the world. The majority of them is distributed in tropical regions, also some species discovered intosubtropical and warm temperate areas. Laos has a tropical climate because it is located in Southeast Asia. but Laos properlyhas not studied moths diversity by the present.In the present study, we provided a checklist of the subfamily Pyraustinae and Spilomelinae from Laos, including adultphotographs, distributions.

The genus Glyphodes Guenée, 1854 reported over 150 species in the world. They are widely distributed throughout tropical regions, with some species penetrating into subtropical and warm temperate areas. Five species of the genus Glyphodes Guenée are reported for the first time in Laos: Glyphodes actorionalis Walker, G. bivitralis Guenée, G. caesalis Walker, G. extorris Dognin, and G. stolalis Guenée. Photographs of adult, male and female genitalia, with short description

Five species of the genus Glyphodes Guenée (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) are reported for the first time in Laos: Glyphodes actorionalis Walker, G. bivitralis Guenée, G. caesalis Walker, G. extorris Dognin, and G. stolalis Guenée. Illustrations of adults and genitalia, distribution are provided.

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.
