The genus Scolytus of the family Scolytidae comprises more than 120 species through the world. Fifteen species of the genus Scolytus are revised from Korean peninsula. The genus Scolytus can be distinguished from the other genera by combination of following characteristics: frons slightly concave or convex with vertical wrinkles; club longer than 7-segmented funicle; pronotum fairly large, shining, punctured, narrowed towards the front, turning into a more slight or distinct neck-like constriction; vicinity of scutellum deeply impressed; elytra flat with punctures densely or sparsely arranged in rows; abdominal sternites from 2nd to 5th obliquely, convexly, concavely or vertically ascendant and with or without process or tubercles at middle. Scolytus frontalis Blandford, 1894 is new record to Korea. This species was collected from living Zelkova tree, Zelkova serrata which were planted along the street. We provide the habitus of this species and its biological informations.
The genus Tetramoera Diakonoff (Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) is small group, including 6 species worldwide (Brown, 2005). Among them, 4 species, T. flavescens Kuznetsov, T. isogramma Meyrick, T. paragramma Meyrick, and T. schistaceana Snellen, have been described from the Oriental region in the early 20th century. And the other two species, T. gracilistira Turner, and T. leptalea Diakonoff were reported from Australia and South Africa respectively. During the course of the study on North Korean Tortiricidae based on the material deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary, one species of the genus Tetramoera Diakonoff was found. In the present study, the genus Tetramoera Diakonoff, is reported for the first time from the Korean Peninsula. Also a new species, Tetramoera bongwaensis sp. nov., is described as new to science. Photographs of the adults and male genitalia are presented.
과거 우리나라산으로 기록은 있었으나 표본확인이 되지 않아 현재까지도 그 분포여부가 불확실해왔던 잎말이나방과의 2종, Archips dichotomus Falkovitsh와 Eana argentana(Clerk)에 대한 확인을 위해 최근 체코과학원 국립곤충연구소에 소장되어 있는 북한산 표본을 입수, 검경하여 이들의 분포기록을 정리하였다. 동시에 외부형태 및 생식기의 특징을 간략한 재기재 밍 도해와 함께 보고한다.
향나무류를 가해하는 향나무알락명나방(신칭)을 우리나라 미기록종으로 보고하며 성충 및 유충의 외부형태적 특징을 간략히 기술하였다. 금번조사를 통해 향나무, 누운향나무, 옥향나무 등 3종이 기주로 확인되었으며, 유충은 기주의 잎을 엮고 그 안에서 가해하는 것으로 조사되었다.
