A total of 6 species of 5 families was identified. Noctuidae with 6 species was dominant in the area followed by Geometridae (7 species) and Crambidae (6 species). The most dominant species was a noctuid moth, Euproctis pulverea (6 individuals). Keywords: moth fauna, Biguem-do Island Introduction Bigeumdo (Is.) is an island located at the southwestern part of the Korean peninsula and is located approximately 5.5 km from shore. With. km of surface area, it is connected by a bridge to Dochodo (Is.), an island with similar surface area. Forest area covers approximately 5% of the total surface area of the island, and the highest peak is the Seonwangsan (Mt.) (55 m) to the southwestern part of the island. The island experiences a temperate climate, with average annual temperature of.8 o C and average annual precipitation of 5.5mm (average between 999 and 9, National Weather Service). In terms of the insect fauna of Bigeumdo (Is.), study by Kim and Lee (979) reported 6 orders, 6 families and 6 species, but the report did not include moths. This study identified and organized specimen collected from Bigeumdo (Is.) in order to contribute to future studies on the moth fauna of Bigeumdo (Is.). Materials and Methods The study site (longitude 5 o 5'.9'' latitude o 5'6.6'') is located at the western side of Seonwangsan (Mt.) (Fig. ). Collection was conducted between June st and August st of, and moths were attracted for trapping using mercury lamp (W) for hours after sunset. The collected moths were prepared as dry specimen for identification and were then stored in the Natural Science Museum of Kyung Hee University and the Wooseokheon *To whom correspondence should be addressed. Tel: +8--96- E-mail: jeong-ms@khu.ac.kr Natural History Museum. Domestic and Foreign literatures were used as reference for species identification (Inoue et al., 98; Kononenko et al., 998; Kim et al. ; Shin, ), and microscopic inspection of reproductive organs were used for cases in which external identification was difficult. Result and Discussion The result of the collection and identification of moths of Bigeumdo (Is.) by this study reported 5 families and 6 species, and species which required detailed taxonomic works and additional time were excluded. A total of 7 species were observed in June, and 6 species in August, with higher species diversity in June. In terms of dominant species by family, family Noctuidae displayed the highest number of 6 species, followed by 7 species of Geometridae and 6 species of Crambidae (Table ). Such dominance by family was similar to the finding by a past study on Abhaedo (Is.), an island located in close proximity to Bigeumdo (Is.) (Lim et al., 7). Furthermore, a total of 9 moths were collected, including 6 members of Noctuidae, 8 members of Geometridae and members of Lymantriidae, with the most dominant species being the Euproctis pulverea at 6 individuals. While this study incorporated only collection session, on June st and August st of, a relatively diverse range of species were confirmed, and it is expected that more collection sessions and longer study period will lead to the discovery of more species. Furthermore, it is predicted that active research of the biota of island regions, including Bigeumdo (Is.), will provide basic information for future studies on climate changes, biogeography and evolutionary biology.
