The genus Tineola Herrich-Schäffer is reported for the first time in Korea, with a species Tineola bisselliella (Hummel, 1823). These moths can cause damage not only on irreplaceable materials of aesthetic, historic or scientific importance, but also on daily commodities such as clothes, furnishings, and other materials made of animal fur, wool, feathers or leathers. The morphological characters of T. bisselliella are described, and illustrations of examined specimens are provided.
