The taxonomic status of two genera—Chrysopera and Entomogramma—within the subfamily Erebinae is still up for debate. This is because there are not many thorough phylogenetic studies based on large sampling and the Erebinae is one of the most speciose subfamilies of Lepidoptera with a high degree of diversity. They also lack in-depth comparative studies with morphologically related species.Two little-known genera Chrysopera Hampson, 1894 and Entomogramma Guenée, 1852 are reported for the first time in Korea, based on C. combinans (Walker, 1858) and E. fautrix (Guenée, 1852). Illustrations of adults and genitalia are presented.
