Abstract

The Korean species of Meganola major (Hampson, 1891) is taxonomically reviewed. This species has been widely distributed in the Old World realm, but mainly in the Oriental region. Recently, a large outbreak of the species has been confirmed in Jeollanam-do, where it has been found to cause damage to Lagerstroemia indica Linnaeus (Crepe-myrtle) and Juglans mandshurica Maxim (Monkey nuts). The taxonomic history of this species in Korea is complex, and this paper aims to confirm it exactly. In addition, brief ecological characteristics based on observation are given.
