The complete mitochondrial genome of Ostrinia palustralis memnialis Walker, 1859 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) was determined to be 15,246 bp with a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes [PCGs], 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and one non-coding region, with an arrangement identical to that observed in most lepidopteran genomes. The A+T content of the whole genome, PCGs, srRNA, lrRNA, tRNAs, and the A + T-rich region all are well within the range found in other Pyraloidea. Phylogenetic analyses of the concatenated sequences of the 13 PCGs using Bayesian inference and Maximum-likelihood methods placed O. palustralis as a sister group to O. furnacalis and O. nubilalis, with the highest nodal support. The subfamilies within Crambidae, such as Nymphulinae, Spilomelinae, and Pyraustinae, all formed monophyletic groups with the highest nodal support.

밤과 호두는 중요한 임산 자원으로써 최근 복숭아명나방의 피해가 증가하여 재배자들이 경제적 피해를 호소하고 있다. 부여군에 위치한 밤과 호두가 서로 인접한 재배지역의 밤나무와 호두나무 116그루를 무작위로 선정하고 각 나무별로 2개의 가지를 선정하여 복숭아명 나방의 피해율을 2018년 6월부터 9월까지 총 4회 조사하였다. 그 결과 6월, 7월, 8월의 복숭아명나방 피해과는 통계적으로(p<0.05) 호두재배지역에 집중 분포를 보였으며, 9월의 경우는 임의 분포하였다. 6월부터 8월까지는 호두 재배지역에서만 복숭아명나방의 피해가 나타나 조사지역에서 복숭아명나방 피해는 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.025). 그러나 9월은 밤 재배지역에서 복숭아명나방 피해가 발생하고 호두 지역에서는 새로운 피해가 나타나지 않아 통계적으로 8월 이전과는 공간적 상호관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다(0.025<p<0.975). 이러한 결과로 월동세대는 호두에서 산란하여 피해를 야기하고 이후에 발생하는 세대는 밤에서 피해를 야기할 것으로 추정된다.

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 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.

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.

밤은 임산물 중 가장 중요한 품목 중 하나이며, 최근 복숭아명나방에 대한 피해가 급증하고 있는 상태이다. 2017년 11월 21일, 부여군에 위치한 밤 주산단지 내 밤나무 50그루를 무작위로 선정하고 각 나무별로 땅으로 낙과한 밤송이 5개를 무작위로 채집하여 복숭아명나방의 피해과와 개체수를 확인하였다. 그 결과 95% 신뢰수준에서 복숭아명 나방과 그에 의한 피해과 수는 통계적으로 집중분포를 보였으며, 밤알 수는 임의 분포하였다. 복숭아명나방은 밤알 수와 95% 수준에서 통계적으로 역 상관관계를 보여 상대적으로 큰 밤알이 선호됨을 알 수 있었고 피해과 수와는 정 상관관계를 보여 피해과가 많으면 개체수도 많이 존재하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 복숭아명나방의 방제전략을 구축하는데 있어 기본적인 자료로 사용될 수 있고 고려되어야 할 사항들이다.

세계적으로 관상작물의 중요한 나방류 해충의 하나인 Duponchelia fovealis Zeller가 2015년과 2016년에 경기도에서 처음으로 발견되었다. 유충이 꽃기린(Euphorbia milii)의 줄기 속을 파고 들어가거나 게발선인장(Schlumbergera truncata)의 잎을 가해하는 피해가 확인되었다. 유충과 피 해 확인 직후 합성농약을 살포하였고, 현재까지 추가적인 발견은 없었다.

호두는 경제적으로 중요한 유실수 중 하나이지만, 호두나무 포장 내에서 해충에 의한 피해 특성에 대한 정보는 매우 부족하다. 본 연구에서 는 복숭아명나방과 굴피가는나방에 의한 호두열매와 잎의 피해를 조사하였다. 2017년 충남 부여군에 위치한 포장에서 복숭아명나방에 의한 호두열매 피해율의 변화를 조사하였다. 또한 김천, 부여, 영동 및 화성의 포장 내에서 2종의 나방에 의한 호두열매 및 잎의 피해율을 조사하였다. 부여 포장 내 호두열매의 피해율은 시간이 흐름에 따라 지속적으로 증가하였고, 피해율은 늦여름에 가장 높았다. 호두열매의 최종 피해율은 부여, 김천 및 화성에서 각각 22.1%, 20.5%, 11.7%로 조사되었다. 굴피가는나방에 의한 잎 피해는 성목의 신초 가지(평균 11.2%)에 비해 묘목의 신초 가지(평균 58.5%)에서 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구 결과, 호두나무 포장 내에서 복숭아명나방과 굴피가는나방에 의한 열매와 잎 피해가 심각한 것으로 확인되었으며, 향후 이들에 대한 방제기술 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

Walnuts are economically important for forestry workers in recent, but there are few available data for insect pestsin walnut orchards. In 2017, walnut fruits and leaves were damaged by Conogethes punctiferalis and Acrocercops transecta,respectively. In late summer, damage rates by C. punctiferalis in Buyeo, Gimcheon, and Hwaseong were 22.1%, 20.5%,and 11.7%, respectively. According to A. transecta, damage rates in seedlings (58.5% in average) were higher than inolder trees (11.2% in average) irrespective of study locations.

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

Maruca vitrata larvae feed on flowers and pods of several leguminous crops, and can severely reduce seed yield. Adult emergence, mating and oviposition behaviors were observed in a 15h/9h=light/dark and 25℃ condition as a base study for monitoring. Emergence occurred mainly during the first five hours of scotophase. Mating occurred from the two days after emergence, and the mated females started to lay eggs from the next day. A maximal mating rate was observed in the night of five days. Mating occurred significantly more often during the time from 2 hours before to 3 hours after lights-off, but older females mated more frequently during the photophase. Electroanntennographic responses of males to some chemicals, and body extracts and volatile collections of females were measured

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.

Two species of the genus Herpetogramma Ledere are reported for the first time from Korea: Herpetogramma licarsisalis (Walker) and Herpetogramma stultalis (Walker). The larvae of H. stultalis are well known pest of Achyranthes aspera. Also H. licarsisalis important pest of turf and some other grass crops in Hawaii, Australasia, and Southeast Asia. The description, host plants, adult photographs, and pictures of male and female genitalia are provided.

In the present study we report a newly recognized crambid species, Sinibotys butleri (South, 1901). Previously, two species, S. evenoralis and S. obliquilinealis, were known from Korea, but now they are belonged to a genus Torulisquama Zhang, 2010, that was newly erected in a recent study. Sinibotys differs from Torulisquama by having: forewing 36－47.5 mm in length and without unscaled areas; male with transtilla covered with setae and editum bearing dense setae; female with ductus bursae relatively broad and short; corpus bursae and signum much larger. We update taxonomic position of these three species accordingly and compare Sinibotys and Torulisquama morphologically. A Key to species, description of adult, male and female genitalia structures are provided with available information such as collection locality, host plant and distribution range for the species.
