Abstract: Data of 180 species of the geometrid subfamilies Ennominae and Geometrinae (148 and 32 taxa, respectively) are presented. Almost four decades of entomological exploration by the Hungarian Natural History Museum in the Korean Peninsula yielded the 3980 specimens discussed here, with a full list of the 230 relevant collecting events. Of the 180 species recorded 53 (~ 30%) turned to be new for the fauna of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, including Selenia dentaria (FABRICIUS, 1775) (from Samjiyon, Prov. Ryanggang) as new to the fauna of entire Korea.Akey to the species of SeleniaHÜBNER, 1823 is given. With 6 figures.
