Notes

This species was attracted to street lights in low-lying coastal areas and, in terms of its Korean distribution, it has only been recorded on Gageodo Island to date (Fig. 7 I). Previously, this species was known to be active from late May to mid-July ( Jang et al. 2015), but this survey confirmed that it remained active until mid-August. It was recorded in Gageodo Island by Kang (2002), Jang et al. (2015) and Hwang (2015).
