Abstract

Abstract: Two new species of Gelechiidae; Cnaphostola chujaensis Park, sp. nov. and Stenolechia insulalis Park, sp. nov. were described from Korea, based on specimens collected from Jeju-do which is the largest island located in the south-western part of the Korean Peninsula. The Cnaphostola Meyrick, 1918 is very similar to Polyhymno Chambers in the external and genital characters, and it is needed a further study to clarify its generic status, based on molecular analysis.
