TL;DR: In this paper, Europlema leleji Sinev turns out to be a new synonym of Epiplema nubifasciaria Leech and the latter is newly combined to the genus Europlma.
Abstract: Three species of Epipleminae: Europlema nubifasciaria (Leech), Dysaethria meridiana (Inoue), and Phazaca theclata (Guenee), are reported for the first time from Korea. Europlema leleji Sinev turns out to be a new synonym of Epiplema nubifasciaria Leech and the latter is newly combined to the genus Europlema. Its female genitalia are first described. This is the first record of Europlema for the Korean fauna. Photos of adults and genitalia are provided for the treated species.
TL;DR: The Korean fauna of the Epipleminae (Uraniidae) is revised based on the most-recent taxonomic reassessment of this subfamily and the phylogenetic implications of wing patterns, genitalia, and the androconial organ are discussed.
Abstract: The Korean fauna of the Epipleminae (Uraniidae) is revised based on the most-recent taxonomic reassessment of this subfamily. Except for 2 unplaced species of the 'Epiplema' styx complex, 9 species in 5 genera are recognized with 4 new to the Korean Peninsula and 2 new synonyms (Epiplema sponsa Swinhoe, 1895 of Oroplema plagifera (Butler, 1881), and Gathynia fasciaria, 1897 of Monobolodes prunaria (Moore, 1887)) established. Diagnoses and illustrations are given for all involved species. Keys to the identification of adults are provided for the genera and species. The phylogenetic implications of wing patterns, genitalia, and the androconial organ are discussed. The monophyletic status of the genera Monobolodes and Phazaca is yet to be tested.
