The genus Micrerethista Meyrick, 1938 belong to the subfamily Harmacloninae, comprises 11 described species for the world. Adult are usually very small to medium in size (wingspan, 4-16mm). The principal apomorphy of this genus, the denticulate projection of the aedeagus, easily distinguishes it from most Harmacloninae. In this study, we dealt with the genus Micrerethista is newly recorded from Korea for the first time, with one species. Illustrations of adult and genitalia are presented.

Two species of genus Monopis (M. pavlovskii, M. congestella) from detritus were found in raptorial bird cage. We used feather-traps that include detritus of raptorial bird, each two traps deployed at Mt.Gyeyang in Incheon and Mt.Cheonchuk in Uljin, respectively. Larvae of tineid feed on keratin sources in the detritus of the raptorial bird cage such as pellets, furs, and feathers. Biological information regarding M. pavlovskii and M. congestella and photographs of their immature stage are provided. It is likely that detritus of raptorial bird cage provide a suitable habitat for keratophagous tineids in nature because of a wide variety of keratin in the raptorial bird cage.

This study was conducted to investigate the change of moth communities by the effect of forest fire in Samcheok, Korea. Moths were collected 4 times a year from 2006 to 2009 with UV light traps at 3sites: Unburned area (Site 1), Surface fire area (Site 2), and Crown fire area (Site 3). A total of 3,804 individuals belonging to 727 species from 30 families were captured at the 3 sites. A total of 3,804 individuals belonging to 727 species from 30 families were captured at the 3 sites: 1,727 individuals of 505 species (27 families) at Site 1, 1,193 individuals of 353 species (24 families) at Site 2, 885 individuals of 340 species (25 families). The index of similarity (Index α) was higher between Site 2 and 3 in 2006, while higher between Site 1 and 2 in 2009. Moths were grouped into 16 categories by hosts of the larva stage. Based on our results, we discussed the change of moth communities by the effect of forest fire.

The genus Synanthedon Hübner, 1819 belong to family Sesiidae described about 51 species in the Palearctic region (Špatenka et al., 1999). Genus Synanthedon characterized by following characters (Špatenka et al., 1999): Antenna occasionally with a white apical spot; labial palpus smooth or weakly tufted; transparent areas of forewing (ATA, PTA, ETA) usually present; hindwing transparent; abdomen with large anal tuft in male. Matsumura (1931a, b) reported two species of the genus for the first time from Korea, they are mainly studied by Inoue et al. (1982), Park et al. (1983), Park (1986), and Arita et al. (2004). Presently, genus Synantedon have included the following eight species in Korea (Arita et al., 2004): S. bicingluata (Staudinger, 1887), S. ulmicola Yang & Wang, 1989, S. haitangvora Yang, 1977, S. unocingulata Bartel, 1912, S. velox (Fixsen, 1887), S. tenuis (Butler, 1878), S. martjanovi Sheljuzhko, 1919, and S. quercus (Matsumura, 1911). In this study, four new species belonging to the genus are described based on morphological characters.
