a b s t r a c t This study was conducted to review the genus Caloptilia in Korea with taxonomic arrangement. In this study, 19 species in the genus were recognized from Korea. Among them, four species, Caloptilia fidella (Reutti), C. hidakensis Kumata, C. illicii Kumata, and C. pulverea Kumata, are newly recorded in Korea. All the known species from Korea are briefly enumerated with illustrations of the adult and genitalic structures. © 2014 Korean Society of Applied Entomology, Taiwan Entomological Society and Malaysian Plant Protection Society.

Introduction Genus Caloptilia Hübner, 1816–1826 is one of the largest group in the family Gracillariidae. More than 2,600 species of Gracillariidae have been known around the world (De Prins and De Prins, 2005, 2014). In Korea, a total of 50 species of the family has been reported to date (Paek et al., 2010). The family Gracillariidae are well known as leaf-miners, having similar feeding habits during their larval stages with some other families that includes Lyonetidae, Elachistidae, and Tischeridae, somewhat primitive families or superfamilies such as Gelechioidea and Yponomeutoidea respectively (Park and Han, 1986). Due to their characteristic feeding behaviour, most of them are treated as pests which may even cause severe damage to crop plants or forest trees. Despite the economic importance as agricultural pests, relatively little is known about the biology and behavior of many species due to their small size and complex life history. The flight period of adults is various from early spring through late autumn in this country. The members of the genus just like as all other genera of the family have an interesting posture, when resting, which shows the front of the body steeply raised. Although the genus has been known as pests for crops or trees, some species are used as a biological agent for weed control. In the state of Hawaii in the United States, Caloptilia sp. nr. schinella (Walsingham) was released to control Myrica faya Aiton(Myricaceae), which is an ⁎ Corresponding author.

introduced weed species in Hawaii (Markin, 2001). Therefore the biological study of the genus is one of the important research area not only for understanding their life history but also for applying to practical use. In Korea, Park (1983) first made a species list of the genus reporting five species. Then, Park and Han (1986) reported six species as new to Korea. 11 species were listed in Check list of insects from Korea (ESK and KSAE, 1994). Park and Lee (2001) added one species to Korea. Recently Sohn (2007) reported four newly recorded species of Korea. A total of 16 species were listed in "A checklist of the Microlepidoptera in Korea" (Byun et al., 2009). However, C. obliquatella (Matsumura, 1931), was transferred to the genus Povolnya by De Prins and De Prins (2005). Consequently, the total number of species recorded is 15 in this country to date. In this paper, four species, Caloptilia fidella (Reutti, 1853), C. hidakensis Kumata, 1966, C. illicii Kumata, 1966 and C. pulverea Kumata, 1966 are reported first in Korea. Therefore a total of 19 species of the genus Caloptilia is recognized from Korea. All the known species are enumerated with taxonomic arrangement and redescription. Also their available information, including their collecting locality, host plant and distributional range is provided. Materials and methods Most of the specimens examined in this study were mainly collected by the light trap or reared from larval mining in or rolling up the leaves of their host plants and deposited in the Systematic Entomology Laboratory of Hannam University (SELHNU) and Natural History

The genitalic structures of all known species were redrawn for future identification with available material or references. The color standard for the description of adults was based on the Methuen Handbook of Color (Kornerup and Wanscher, 1978).
