The family Crambidae is a large and diverse taxonomic group with over 10,000 species reported worldwide. This paper reports on two species of Crambidae that are new to the Korean insect fauna: Pagyda recticlavata Qi & Li, 2020, and Schoenobius gigantella (Denis & Schifferm?ller, 1775). The identification of these two species is fully supported by both DNA barcode sequences and detailed morphological characteristics. Additionally, comprehensive descriptions, photographs of adults and genitalia, along with extensive DNA sequence information, are provided to facilitate further research. This study significantly enhances our understanding of the biodiversity and distribution within this family.
