Abstract

Thirteen species distributed over 3 genera of the subfamily Lithocolletinae are reported from Korea. Of them 8 species are new to the Korean fauna. Two genera, Hyloconis and Chrysaster, are recorded from the Asian continent for the first time. Fore wings of all the species and male and female genitalia of some ones are illustrated. Besides these Korean species, one North American species, Argyromiges ostensackenella Fitcher, 1859, is newly transferred to the genus Chrysoster.
