We report a zygaenid moth, Inope heterogyna Staudinger for the first time from Korea. This species which shows the dark brown wings without medial lines and markings, is externally indistinguishable from Inope maerens and the correct identification can be done by the genitalia examination. The female genitalia of Inope heterogyna can be distinguished by the relatively short and strongly coiled at the anterior ductus bursae.
