The family Geometridae, which is one of the most species-rich taxa of Lepidoptera, includes more than 23,000 species worldwide and over 800 species in South Korea. Herein, we record six species of Geometridae for the first time in Korea. Jodis urosticta and Jodis amamiensis can be characterized by their greenish wings and strongly dentate ante- and postmedial lines on the fore and hindwings. These species can also be separated by the shape of the valva of the male genitalia. Pelagodes antiguadraria can be characterized by their greenish wings, whitish medial bands on the forewing and whitish postmedial line on the hindwing. Brabira kasaii can be characterized by the thick grayish band-shaped central fascia of their fore- and hindwings. Sauris marginepunctata can be characterized by the greenish ground color of the forewing, the dark ochreous medial bands and subterminal line and the grayish hindwing. Philereme vetulata can be characterized by their dark brownish wing color and the band-shaped central fascia of the forewing, as well as the medially projected postmedial line of the hindwing. Echthrocollix minuta can be characterized by their pale grayish wing color, brownish postmedial and subterminal lines and large discal dot.

This study was conducted to evaluate Geometridae (Lepidoptera) species as pests and the damage they cause in citrus orchards in Jeju, Korea. Seven geometridae species occurred in citrus orchards: Ascotis selenaria, Ectropis excellens, Menophra senilis, Biston panterinaria, Ourapteryx nivea, Odontopera arida and Hypomecis punctinalis. Among them, A. selenaria was most abundant, followed by E. excellens and M. senilis. Most Geometridae larvae fed on citrus leaves, but A. selenaria larvae ate fruits and leaves. Fruit damage of Citrus unshiu appeared as gnawed scars caused by young larvae feeding on fruit surface. Fruit damage on Shiranui fruits appeared as a wide hole or deep scars caused by feeding by mature larvae (6th instar). Citrus leaves damage due to Geometridae larvae was high during May to June. Fruit damage started in late June as the spring-shoots of citrus hardened and increased sharply in late July. In the field experiment, fruit damage in the late season reached 4.2% in both 2008 and 2009 and reached 5.2% in 2010. In citrus orchards, A. selenaria larvae started to appear in mid-May and their populations peaked in mid June, late July, and early to mid-September. Adult males of A. selenaria had a maximum peak in mid-May, and two other peaks in early to late July and late August to early September. A. selenaria male adults were collected in a pheromone traps constantly throughout Jeju Island.

In this paper, we report for the first time on a species of Eupithecia from Korea. Three females of Eupithecia praepupillata Wehrli, 1927, were collected from the northeastern part of South Korea. With this addition, a total of 53 species of Eupithecia from Korea have been recorded. Diagnosis and description of the species are provided with figures of the genitalia.

We report a larentiine species, Collix stellata Warren, for the first time from Korea. Two males and one female were collected from Jeju-do Island, South Korea. Collix stellata is similar to Collix ghosa Walker in external appearances, but can be distinguished by the relatively larger discal dot on forewing and the relatively slender valva with distally projected margin of male genitalia. Diagnosis and description of the species are given with the figures of the genitalia.
