We report two species of the family Noctuidae, Callopistria nobilior Eda, 2000 and Mataeomera yoshimotoi Sohn and Eda, 2013, for the first time in Korea. These two species were collected from the southern part of Korea, Jeollanamdo and Jejudo. Callopistria nobilior can be identified by a yellowish-white fine stria on M1 of the forewing subermen, a prominent discal spot and postmedial line on the hindwing, a slender, sickle-shaped spine at the apical end of the aedeagus and vesica with large spicules in the male genitalia, and a relatively short sclerotized posterior part of the corpus bursae in the female genitalia. Mataeomera yoshimotoi is characterized by a slimmer submarginal shade, an enlarged discal spot, a more pronounced zigzag pattern along the postmedian line, and a wider brown band between the median and postmedian lines on the forewing. Three digitate processes at the apex of the valva and multiple teeth within the distal region of the aedeagus in male genitalia are distinct. We present diagnostic information alongside photographs of adults and their genitalia.
