  • Three species of Spilomelinae, Camptomastix septentrionalis Inoue, 1982, Omiodes indistinctus (Warren, 1892) and Piletocera aegimiusalis (Walker, 1859), are reported for the first time from Korea. Camptomastix septentrionalis is distinguished from Camptomastix hisbonalis (Walker, 1859) in the smaller body size, the lack of a clear discal spot on the forewings, and having the less protruding costa of the valva in the male genitalia and the smaller antrum in the female genitalia. Omiodes indistinctus is distinguished from Omiodes tristrialis(Bremer, 1864) in having the narrower forewings with the faded postmedian and subbasal lines and a densely-setose, sclerotized area on the terminal part of uncus dorsally in the male genitalia. Piletocera aegimiusalis is distinguished from Piletocera sodalis(Leech, 1889) in the larger body size and the lack of a pale yellow patch on the hindwings. Photos of the external and genital features are provided for the three newly-recorded spilomeline species.
