Argyresthia Hübner, [1825] is a genus of small to medium sized glossy moths which comprises more than 200 species worldwide, but the Korean fauna includes only eight previously known species. In this study, we describe one new species, A. (Argyresthia) brevalbella sp. nov., and report A. (A.) angusta Moriuti, 1969 and A. (Blastotere) densa Liu, Wang et Li, 2017 for the first time from the country. The three species were found in Hallasan National Park located in the southernmost province Jeju-do at altitudes between 900-1,300 m. The new species is externally very similar to A. (A.) longalbella Liu, Wang et Li, 2017 in having a fuscous forewing with a white dorsal band, but can be distinguished by the shape of the valva, saccus and phallus of the male genitalia. We provide photographs of adults and genitalia, differential diagnoses and DNA barcodes for the three species.
Argyresthia Hübner，[1825]是一个小到中型有光泽的飞蛾属，全世界有 200 多种，但韩国的动物群只包括以前已知的 8 种。在这项研究中，我们描述了一个新种，A.（Argyresthia）brevalbella sp. nov.，并首次报道了 A.（A.）angusta Moriuti，1969 和 A.（Blastotere）densa Liu，Wang et Li，2017 来自这个国家。这三个物种在位于最南端省份济州岛的汉拿山国家公园海拔 900-1300 米处被发现。新种与 A.（A.）longalbella Liu，Wang et Li，2017 在具有棕色前翅和白色背带方面非常相似，但可以通过雄性生殖器的瓣片、囊和阴茎的形状来区分。我们提供了成虫和生殖器的照片，对这三个物种进行了鉴别诊断和 DNA 条码分析。
