Material examined. [JN] 1 ♀ Mokpo National University, JN: Muan, 6 Nov. 2000 (S.W. Choi); 1 ♀ Is. Oenarodo, JN: Goheung, 19. Sep. 2007 (S.W. Choi); 2 ♀ ditto, 22. Oct. 2007 (S.W. Choi); [GN] 1 ♀ Enggang service area, GN: Namhae, 9. Jul. 2013 (KSS), 1 ♀ ditto, 9, Sep. 2011 (S.S. Kim).

Diagnosis. This species is distinguished by slanted postmedial and subterminal lines with a black discal dot on the forewing and dentate postmedial and subterminal lines on the hindwing. This species is externally similar to Scopula coniaria (Prout), but can be distinguished by the costally parallel postmedial and subterminal lines, the large discal dot on the forewing and the large discal dot on the postmedial line of the hindwing. The female genitalia are distinguished by the circular sterigmata, the long ductus bursae and the large ovate corpus bursae without a signum. The female genitalia are similar to those of S. coniaria, but can be distinguished by the long ductus bursae and the ovate corpus bursae without long patch-shaped spicules.

Distribution. Korea, Japan.
