INTRODUCTION
 e subfamily Larentiinae contains ca. 6300 described species, being the sec-
ond most species-rich group of Geometridae (H & V 2012).
C (2003) made an important step in the study of Korean Larentiinae
material preserved in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. He published
data of 108 species from North Korea, including  rst records of ten species from
the entire Korean Peninsula. Later on, he made a detailed overview of the Korean
Larentiinae fauna in a series of books (C 2012a, b, 2013, 2014).
 is paper summarises the Larentiinae material from Korea in the for-
mat similar to the work of B & K (2011), and is intended to be a
continuation of that paper. Another paper will be published on the subfamily
Sterrhinae, and a supplementary paper will be prepared to the Geometrinae and
Ennominae.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
 e material, deposited in the Lepidoptera Collection of the Hungarian
Natural History Museum (HNHM, Budapest), consists of set and unset speci-
mens. Some of them were previously identi ed by Hiroshi Inoue, Gyula M.
László, Vladimir Mironov and András Vojnits; the latter two researchers also
dissected specimens. In case of doubtful identi cation, we also made permanent
slides, by using eosine stain and Euparal as mounting medium.
Books of C (2012a, b, 2013, 2014), I et al. (1982) and M
(2003) were consulted for the identi cation of specimens. Reference list of
Korean Larentiinae was compiled from the above-mentioned book series of
C, with updates from recent publications e.g. C & K (2015).
Process of databasing and data handling are like those of described by
B & K (2011). All specimens listed are deposited in the collection
of HNHM.
An unspeci ed amount of Korean Eupithecia specimens is currently on loan
from HNHM to the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences,
Saint Petersburg (ZISP) for identi cation, under loan Nos 5882 and 7411 (sent
on 24th November, 2000 and 20th December, 2007, respectively). A er fruitful
personal communication with Vladimir Mironov the correspondence was later
interrupted, and attempts for its continuation have remained unsuccessful.  us,
we had to omit these specimens from the list below.
 e species are arranged in systematic order, mainly based on H
& V (2012). Species of the genus Eupithecia Curtis, 1825 are arranged
according to M & G (2014). Codes of collecting events fol-
low the Latin names, together with the number of encountered specimens in pa-
rentheses.
LIST OF COLLECTING EVENTS
First the serial number of the HNHM expedition collecting event is giv-
en running from No. 193 (year 1971) to No. 1873 (year 2005). A er the serial
number the geographical identi cation of the collecting site and the date of the
collecting event with the applied methods are given.  ese are taken verbatim
from the HNHM sta collecting reports published in the periodicals Annales
historico-naturales Musei nationalis hungarici and Folia entomologica hungarica.
Some expressions have been explained by us, given in brackets. Abbreviations:
NK = North Korea, SK = South Korea.
Beyond the serial numbers there are further codes with the following deci-
pherments:

closest relative, E. corylata ( unberg, 1792) by the smaller size and the ochreous
ground-colour. In the male genitalia, the uncus is longer, the labides are shorter
and broader than those of E. corylata, the valva of E. recens is curved and lacks the
costal process present on the straight valva of E. corylata.
Horisme aquata (Hübner, 1813) (Figs 3, 10) – Distributed from France across
the Eurasian steppe belt to NE China and the Upper Amur Basin, the known
area of this species is extended by the following specimens: 3 males, “Prov. North
Khamgen; Puryong, cca. 40 km NE of Chondjin; 04.06.1991. No. 1439; leg. L.
Ronkay & A. Vojnits”; slide No. TB862m. – In habitus it di ers from H. vitalbata
staudingeri Prout, 1939 by the straighter transverse lines and the overall lack of
brownish shade.  e male genitalia of H. aquata have broad, spine-like saccu-
lar terminal processes, gradually tapering valvae and relatively narrow aedeagus,
while in H. vitalbata staudingeri the saccular processes are replaced by symmetri-
cal sclerotised plates, the valva is much narrower beyond sacculus and the aedea-
gus is broader than in H. aquata. In the male genitalia of the Korean specimen
presented here (Fig. 10) the saccular processes are larger and symmetrical, the
valva and the aedeagus are somewhat broader than those of European specimens.
In order to clarify the subspeci c a liation of Korean populations, genitalia of
several European, NE Chinese and Far East Russian specimens should be studied.
Perizoma bifaciata (Haworth, 1809) (Figs 4, 11) –  e hitherto known
range of this species extends from Portugal to Northern Kazakhstan and from
Southern Finland to Morocco, Cyprus and the southeastern corner of Turkey.
Occurrence of this Euro-Turanian species in Korea is surprising. One male is re-
corded: “Prov. South Hwanghae, Haeju, Mt. Suyong-san, 31.07.1982., No. 894,
leg. Dr. L. Forró and Dr. L. Ronkay”; slide No. TB1299m. – It cannot be confused
with any other known Perizoma species in Korea, although somewhat similar to
Martania saxea (Wileman, 1911) especially by the two-coloured forewing post-
medial line.  e forewing of P. bifaciata is less elongate, the postmedial line is less
jagged and the hindwing is somewhat darker in colour than those of M. saxea. In
the male genitalia of P. bifaciata the uncus is much more prominent, the valva is
narrower, straighter and shorter, the vinculum is much shorter and the aedeagus
is much broader than in M. saxea (i.e. they show the diagnostic di erences of
genera Perizoma Hübner, 1825 and Martania Mironov, 2000).
Eupithecia inturbata (Hübner, 1817) (Figs 5, 13) –  is species is found
in Europe, Caucasus and Northeastern Turkey. Material examined: 1 female,
“Chollanam Prov., Mokpo, Mt. Seungdal-san, 200–250 m, 37°55’N, 126°27’E, 24–
30.X.2012. leg. L. Ronkay & M. Tóth-Ronkay”; slide No. TB1201f. Eupithecia in-
turbata occurs in European deciduous forests, with Acer spp. as larval host plant.
 e Korean record is highly isolated from the hitherto known range of this species
in such an extent that this is the  rst record from Asian areas east of the Urals. –

Most Eupithecia specimens cannot be identi ed without genitalia dissection.  e
most similar species of E. inturbata in Korea is E. proterva Butler, 1878 with more
contrasted pattern on wings, narrower medial area and more prominent discal
spot on forewing.  e male genitalia are characterized by much more rounded
sternum A8, straighter costa and much more angled ventral edge of valva.  e
female possesses narrower ductus bursae, broader appendix and smaller propor-
tion of corpus bursae covered with spines than those of E. inturbata.
Eupithecia caliginea Butler, 1878 (Figs 6, 14) –  is species is known only from
Japan (Honshu, Hokkaido). Material examined: 1 female, “Prov. North Pyongan,
Mts. Myohyang-san, Isonnam valley, 23.05.1991., No. 1388, leg. L. Ronkay & A.
Vojnits”; slide No. TB1064f. – With the dark grey ground-colour this species is
mostly similar to E. homogrammata Dietze, 1906.  e forewing is slightly more
elongate and the light grey transverse lines are more conspicuous on fresh E. ca-
liginea specimens than in E. homogrammata. In the female genitalia of E. caliginea
the corpus bursae is more globular in shape, its surface is covered with smaller
spines in smaller area, and the cervix is broader than in E. homogrammata.

Specimens with unclari ed status
Eupithecia sp. 1 (Figs 8, 12) – Material examined: 1 male, “Prov. Kangwon,
Mts. Kumgang-san, Manmulsung Rocks, 750 m, 12.06.1991. No. 1465., leg. L.
Ronkay & A. Vojnits”; slide No. TB1063m. – According to M (pers.
comm.) this specimen belongs to the “satyrata-group” of the genus (M
& G 2014). A relatively large specimen, with a wingspan of 25 mm
and the length of its forewing is 12.5 mm. Worn, without any recognisable pat-
tern apart from the conspicuous discal spots on all wings. In the male genitalia
the shape of valva and the con guration of cornuti in the aedeagus are very simi-
lar to those of E. absinthiata (Clerck, 1759) but the presence of the large discal
spot on hindwing and the shape of sternum A8 contradict this association.  e
sternum shape is rather similar to that of E. mandschurica Staudinger, 1897 or
(extra-limital) E. expallidata Doubleday, 1856.
Genus and species undescribed (Fig. 7) –  e species representing a new
genus, related to Heterophleps Herrich-Schä er, 1854, is currently under descrip-
tion by an international team of lepidopterists (D S, pers. comm.;
