Among them, eleven species are newly added to the Lepidoptera fauna of Jeju Island; Apotomis vaccini Kuznetsov, 1969, Olethreutes transversana (Christoph, 1881) and Pandemis heparana (Dennis et Schiffermuller, 1775) of Tortricidae, Calamotropha okanoi Bleszyski, 1961, Hypsopygia kawabei Yamanaka, 1965 and Pempelia ellenella (Roesler, 1975) of Pyralididae, Tethea consimilis (Warren, 1912) of Thyatirida, Dysstroma citrata (Linnaeus, 1761) and Pseudepione marginaria (Wilemann, 1911) of Geometridae, Hypena stygiana Butler, 1878 and Xestia tabida (Butler, 1878) of Noctuidae. These results may reflect that the natural environment of Yeongsil area is relatively specific on this island and well conserved.
