    Phycitinae is one of the largest subfamilies in Pyralidae, with approximately 5000 species recorded in the world (Li and Ren, 2009). In Korean Peninsula, Leech and South (1901) first reported 3 species of the tribe Phycitini, after that, Okamoto (1924), Shibuya (1927), Park and Lee (1958), Park (1976; 1983; 1993), Byun et al. (1997), Choi et al. (1998; 1999), Paek et al. (1999; 2002), Paek and Bae (1999; 2000; 2001a; 2001b) respectively made contribution to the study of Korean Phycitinae. Until now, 76 species has been reported from South Korea (Bae et al., 2008), however, the fauna of Korean Phycitinae is by no means complete.

    In the present study, we report two Phycitinae species: Asclerobia sinensis (Caradja & Meyrick, 1937), Acrobasis malifoliellaYamanaka, 2003, which are newly recorded from Korea. Among them, the genus AsclerobiaRoesler, 1969 is reported for the first time from Korean Peninsula.

    The morphology of adults and genitalia are redescribed and illustrated, the specimens examined are deposited in Incheon National University, Korea. Abbreviations used herein are as follows: TS- type species; TL- type locality; GW- Gangwon; GG-Gyunggi; GB-Gyungbug.

    Remarks.

    This species is similar to the species A. bifidella (Leech, 1889), but it can be distinguished from the latter by the following characteristics: the antemedial line is almost vertical, outside with black band and reddish brown mark, a short and white band on the outside of the reddish brown mark, corpus bursae with two signa in female genitalia; as for the A. bifidella, the antemedial line is oblique outwardly, inside with a grayish brown mark, and only one signum in female genitalia.
