An updated list of the genus Hypena Schrank (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) from Korea with five additional records to the fauna

In this study, we examined a total of 192 specimens and barcoded 16 species and listed a total of 29 species of <i>Hypena</i> including five new additions, <i>Hypenatamsi</i> Filipjev (1927), <i>Hypenaobacerralis</i> Walker (1859), <i>Hypenapulverulenta</i> Wileman (1911), <i>Hypenaperspicua</i> Leech (1900) and <i>Hypenamandarina</i> Leech (1900) to the Korean fauna. We provided the detailed distribution of each species of the genus across South Korea and the photographs of adults and genitalia. In addition, the monophyly of the genus was also confirmed using two outgroup species of Herminiinae. This study significantly contributes to the knowledge of erebid fauna in Korea and the phylogenetic relationship amongst the species of the genus.
