The subfamily of Phycitinae is one of the largest groups in family Pyralidae, as Solis and Mitter (1992) estimated, about 4000 species in the world. The Phycitinae are characterized by the following characteristics: forewings long and narrow, with 11 veins or less, R3 and R4 stalked at base or fused completely, both male and female with only one frenulum; gnathos usually rod-shaped or coniform; valva usually hairy, with well-developed costa, sacculus well-sclerotized, shorter than valva, transtilla free or connected at top, juxta and vinculum U-shaped; most of male with culcita; ductus bursae usually from corpus bursae. The larvae of phycitinae are leaf rollers, leaf bores and leaf miners, also they are predators and products pests. Their distribution is throughout the world (Munroe and Solis, 1999). Leech and South (1901) first reported 3 species of Phycitini from the Korean Peninsula; after that, several researchers respectively made contributions to the fauna of Korean Phycitinae. Until 2008, Bae et al. recorded 79 species from South Korea. Currently, Qi and Bae (2014) added two more phycitinae species for Korea. In the present study, we identified two more Phycitinae species which are newly recorded from Korea. The morphology of adults and genitalia are redescribed and illustrated, the specimens examined are deposited in Incheon National University, Korea.

Mu-Jie Qi,Xuan-Vi Le,Yong-Don Ju,Bayarsaikhan Ulziijargal,Bo-Sun Park,Hee-Jo Lee,Min-Seon Kim,Sol-moon Na,Jae-won Kim,Yang-Seop Bae 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.04

Phycitinae is one of the subfamilies of Pyralidae, about 4000 phycitinae species in the world (Solis and Mitter 1992), and around 300 species of 110 genera have been reported in China (Li and Ren 2005). The subfamily of Phycitinae is characterized by the following characteristics: both wings are long and narrow, chaetosema present; forewing with 11 veins or less, R3 and R4 stalked at base or fused completely, both male and female with only one frenulum; gnathos rod-shaped or coniform; valva with costa well developed, transtilla free or connected at top, aedeagus cylindrical, male usually with culcita; ductus bursae from corpus bursae. The larvae of phycitinae are leafrollers, leafminers or products pests. Their distribution is throughout the world (Munroe and Solis, 1999). As a NE region, Jilin province lies in the center of northeast part of China, borders by North Korea, Far East of Russia, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. Until now, only 20 species of phycitinae have been reported from here, accordingly, the faunistic inventory is by no means completed, and to survey the diversity of phycitinae is significant for systematic study in China. In this study, we identified 35 species belonging to 19 genera, of them, 2 species are reported for the first time in China, and 12 species are newly reported from Jilin Province. The materials examined come from the collection of Incheon National University and Northeast Forestry University.

Pyralinae are one of the largest subfamilies belonging to Pyralidae, which comprises about 900 species of 217 genera in the world, and 150 species belonging to 32 genera are recorded in China (Li houhun, 2009). This subfamily are characterized by the following characteristics: head rounded, chaetosemata present, proboscis developed. Labial palpus porrect or upturned. Maxillary palpus small. Forewing colorful, from narrow to wide, antemedial line and postmedial line present and distinct. Hindwing color simple. Male genitalia with broad uncus, gnathos developed, slim, tip of gnathos sharp or hooked; tegument sclerotized, valve simple with various shape; juxta elliptical or rounded, aedeagus slender, cornutus present or absent. Female genitalia with small papillae anales, corpus bursae oval, signum present or absent. Liaoning Province is located in the southern part of NE China, the area of Liaoning is 146,900 km² and it is bounded on the south by the Yellow sea, on the southeast by North Korea, on the north by Jilin Province, and on the west by Inner Mongolia and Hebei Province. The mean annual temperature is 7-11℃, the mean annual precipitation is 600-1100 mm in northeast part, but 400 mm in west part. Liaoning Province is an important area for forest and agriculture, accordingly, to survey the diversity of Pyralinae is of great significance for systematic study in Liaoning Province. In this study, our materials examined come from the collection of Northeast forestry University from 2006-2010, and the collection of Incheon University from 2010-2012. Finally, we identified 11 species belonging to 8 genera, of them, 1 species are the first time reported in China, and 6 speices are the first time reported in Liaoning Province.

As one of the subfamilies of Crambidae, Spilomelinae comprises about 3767 species in the world (Solis and Maes, 2002), and this subfamily is characterized by the following characteristics: Chaetosema absent, antenna filiform, labial palpus and proboscis well developed, forewing with R3 and R4 stalk at base, or R2, R3 and R4 stalked, but R5 single, 2A and 1A form a loop; hindwing Sc+R1 stalked with Rs; male genitalia with gnathos absent or rudimentary, but uncus well developed, shape various. Cambodia is a country that bordered by Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Gulf of Thailand in Southeast Asia. The total area is 181,035 km2. It is also a country with high biodiversity, of them, 212 mammal species, 536 bird species, 240 reptile species, 850 freshwater fish species, and 435 marine fish species, but only a few studies about the fauna of Lepidoptera there. Accordingly, to survey the diversity of Lepidoptera is of great significance for systematic study in Cambodia. In this research, we started our survey from 2009, up to now, we got numerous Pyraloidea from Cambodia, in this study, we identified 48 species belonging to 36 genera of Spilomelinae, most of them are reported for the first time in Cambodia, and some specimen could not be identified which we will report in future. All the materials examined come from the collection of University of Incheon.

Mu-jie Qi,Hui-lin Han,Yang-Seop Bae 한국응용곤충학회 2010 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2010 No.10

The Northeast of China, which covers an area of 124'1400 km2, comprises HeiLongjiang, JiLin, LiaoNing province, and northeast of inner Mongolian. The annual mean temperature is 5 centigrade below zero in the north, and 10 centigrade above zero in the south. The annual precipitation range from 300 mm to 1200 mm. Moreover, northeast China is an important forest area in China, and hundreds of forest disease and pests occurred every year. Among these pests, the Lepidoptera account for a big part, accordingly, the research on diversity of Lepidoptera is the basis of taxonomy and pests control. According to 「List of Chinese Insects」(Hua, 2005), there are about 20,692 species in China, and 2,934 in Northeast China, for instance, Noctuidae 1,400 spp. (Hua, 2005), Notodontidae 128 spp. (Hua, 2005), Tortricidae 267 spp. (Hua, 2005), Pyralidae 146 spp. (Hua, 2005), Geometridae 233 spp. (Zheng, 1999), Hesperiidae 54 spp. (Zhou, 2000), Parnassiidae 32 spp. (Zhou, 2000), Papilionidae 26 spp. (Zhou, 2000), Pieridae 59 spp. (Wang, 1998), Nymphalidae 188 spp. (Zhou, 2000), Lycaenidae 150 spp., etc. (Wang, 2002).
