Abstract

The genus Eumetriochroa Kumata & Kuroko, 1988 has been known as a small genus with twelve described species worldwide. In this study, we aimed to review the Korean species of the genus Eumetriochroa of the subfamily Oecophyllembiinae, which belongs to the family Gracillariidae. Three species of this genus are recognized from Korea. Among them, two species, Eumetriochroa araliella Kobayashi, Huang & Hirowatari, 2013 and E. hiranoi Kumata, 1998 are reported for the first time from Korea. All the known species were enumerated with their available information and briefly redescribed for the newly recorded species. The adults and genitalia of all the species are redescribed and illustrated.
