Abstract

Stathmopodidae is characterized by long setae clusters on the hind tibia and comprises over 408 species in 44 genera worldwide. Among these, the genus Stathmopoda Herrich-Schäffer, 1853 is the most diverse, with more than 240 species whose larvae feed on various substrates. However, taxonomic studies have been limited due to the small size and morphological similarity among species. In this study, we report two species, Stathmopoda atridorsalis Terada and S. dorsioculella Terada, that are first recorded in the Korean Peninsula. For each species, we provide diagnostic characteristics, detailed descriptions, and photographs of the adults and their genitalia. Additionally, we provide a key to the Korean species of the genus Stathmopoda based on the forewing, including the newly reported species in this study.

감꼭지나방과는 뒷종아리마디에 위치한 긴 강모 다발을 특징으로 하며, 전 세계적으로 44속 408종 이상이 보고되었다. 이 중 가장 다양한 종수를 포함하는 속은 Stathmopoda Herrich-Schäffer, 1853로, 유충 시기에 다양한 먹이원을 가진 240종 이상의 종들로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 성충의 크기가 작고 종들끼리 형태적으로 유사하여 분류학적 연구가 제한적이었다. 본 연구에서는 미기록 2종, Stathmopoda atridorsalis Terada와 S. dorsioculella Terada를 한반도에서 최초로 보고한다. 각 종에 대한 진단, 기재, 성충과 생식기의 사진을 제공한다. 추가적으로, 이번 연구를 통해 보고되는 종들을 포함한 한반도산 Stathmopoda 속 종의 앞날개에 기반한 검색표를 함께 제공한다.
