Abstract

Five species of Noctuidae, Adrapsa simplex (Butler), Hydrillodes lentalis $Guen\acute{e}e$, Xylena nihonica $H\ddot{o}ne$, Rhynchaglaea scitula (Butler), and Lophoptera squammigera $Guen\acute{e}e$, are reported for the first time in Korea. Two genera, Adrapsa and Lophoptera, are newly recorded from the Korean fauna. Adults and genitalia of each species are illustrated and their biological and distributional notes are briefly described.
