The subfamily Ennominae is one of the most species-rich taxa of Geometridae that include more than 9,700 species worldwide and over 280 species in South Korea. Herein, we present the first report of five species of Ennominae. Abraxas flavisinuata can be characterized by the white wings, a thick black postmedial line that is medially and dorsally broken with an orange band, large rounded black discal dots on the forewing, and a black dotted postmedial line on the hindwing. Lomographa claripennis can be characterized by the whitish wings, the black undulating postmedial line as well as the minute blackish discal dot on the forewing, and the black undulating postmedial line with a minute black discal dot on the hindwing. Arichanna tetrica can be characterized by the grayish forewings, thick black transverse ante- and postmedial lines, a large blackish discal dot, whitish apical streak on the forewing, and scattered black dots on the whitish hindwing. Apocleora rimosa can be characterized by the brown ground color of the fore- and hindwings, the black slanted ante- and postmedial lines of the forewing, and two black medial lines on the hindwing. Ourapteryx japonica can be characterized by the white wings, the dark brown transverse ante- and postmedial lines with a long discal dot on the forewing, and the dark brownish transverse antemedial line as well as a termen that has a sharp white tail with one large dark reddish dot and one small black dot on the hindwing.

One ennomine species, Odontopera aurata (Prout, 1915) was newly recorded from Korea. Odontopera aurata, a species of Ennominae, is characterized by the dark yellowish forewing that shows centrally mottled with blackish dots, weakly slanted and blackish postmedial line, and undulating termen, and the yellowish hindwing with black postmedial line and short discal dot. Odontopera aurata is externally indistinguishable from O. arida but can be distinguished by the shape of furcal arm of the male genitalia. We provide diagnosis, description of adults and male genitalia, and DNA information.

Two ennomine species, Amblychia angeronaria Guen$\acute{e}$e and Peratostega deletaria (Moore), are reported for the first time from Korea. Amblychia angeronaria was collected from Isl. Gageo-do, in the south west of Korea. The species is distinguished by the large wingspan, the ochreous forewing with a row of large white dots on the postmedian and a grayish apical dot, and the grayish or dark ochreous hindwing with undulating postmedial line and dark grayish subterminal line. Peratostega deleraia was collected from Isl. Jeju-do, and can be distinguished by the dark brown forewing with a blackish dentate postmedian and a light brown apical dot, and the dark brown hindwing with the light brown subtermen and angulate termen. Diagnosis and description of the species are given along with figures of the male and female genitalia.

Chiasmia cinerearia (Bremer et Grey) belonging to the subfamily Ennominae(Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is a new forestry pest attacking to Sophora japonica in Gyeonggi province. Chiasmia cinerearia oviposited about 250~300 eggs per female on leaves. Larva had five instar stages. Adults emerged twice a year in early May and late July. The period of one generation was about 48 days. Body length of larvae was 25~30 mm and body color was light green with dark yellow lateral lines in abdomen. The wingspan of adults was 30 to 35 mm in length. The color of forewings was greyish brown with quadrilateral patterns on outer lines.

An ennomine species, Paradarisa chloauges Prout, 1927 is newly recorded from Korea. Adults were collected at the south aspect of Mt. Hallasan, Jejudo. Paradarisa chloauges can be distinguished by grayish or dark greenish foreand hindwings, blackish basal, ante- and postmedial lines with a blackish discal dot on the forewing and transverse antemedial line, as well as a strongly dentate postmedial line and a thick, dark brownish tinged subterminal line on the hindwing. Paradarisa chloauges is externally very similar to P. consonaria, but can be distinguished by the larger wingspan and flying time. The male genitalia of P. chloauges are similar to those of P. consonaria, but can be distinguished by the long sacculus and two harpe processes on the valva and the large spinular cornuti on the vesical. The female genitalia of P. chloauges are similar to those of P. consonaria, but can be distinguished by the large bagshaped corpus bursae. To date, two species of the genus Paradarisa have been recorded in Korea.
