Notes

This is the first record for the Korean fauna. The DNA barcode of Hypena mandarina was first registered in this study (GenBank accession No. PV 274489, PV 274490). The p-distance with H. proboscidalis and H. tamsi was 9.79 %, while the lowest genetic distance (5.71 %) was recorded for H. stygiana (Figs 6 a View Figure 6 a , 8 e View Figure 8 e , f View Figure 8 f ).

Antenna filiform, yellowish-brown; vertex and frons with erected yellowish-brown scales; labial palpi covered with obliquely erected dark brown scales on dorsal and ventral surfaces, second segment two times longer than the third segment. Thorax yellowish-brown; tegula consisting of long scales and hair-like scales. Forewing ground colour yellowish-brown; a large rhomboidal dark brown medial patch, inner line blackish, bordered with whitish, outer line projected at 1 / 3 from costa; subterminal line whitish, undulating; apical streak dark brown, bank-shaped. Hindwing yellowish-brown; a large dark brown discal dot. Abdomen greyish-brown with dark brown erected scales on the middle of 1 st to 4 th terga. Male genitalia.
