Description
Summary:From the result of a study based on the material reared from larval stages of some microlepidoptera, two new species of Gelechiidae (Dichomeris cuneatiella Park, sp. nov. and Euscrobipalpa lyratumella Park, sp. nov.) are described, and three species of the family (Paralida triannulata Clarke, 1958, Dichomeris okadai Moriuti, 1982, and D. ochthophora Meyrick, 1936) are reported for the first time from Korea. For all these species, biological data including their larval host plants are provided. Of them, the host plant for D. okadai (Moriuti, 1982) is reported for the first time.
