The genus Phyllonorycter is one of the large group, in the family Gracillariidae, comprising 401 described species in the world. In this study, a total of 21 species of the genus Phyllonorycter is recognized. Among them, six newly recorded species were reported for the first time from Korea. All available materials were examined for adult and genitalic characters with known information, including the collecting localities, illustrations of adults and genitalia.

This study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic status position between two species, Archips audax and A. asiaticus of the family Tortricidae, which have been confused due in their very similar character in appearance. For the reason, A. asiaticus has been treated as junior of A. audax in Korea until now (Park and Byun, 1989). Also, it has been known as synonym of A. audax too in Japan (Suzuki and Komai, 1984). However, in China A. asiaticus has been listed as a valid species (Park et al,. 2014). The aim of this study is to clarify the taxonomic differences between the two species with DNA barcoding. We conducted the tree with the result of DNA barcoding by using MAGA 6. A. audax and A. asiaticus build in different clade and distance was 0.02. In this study, we extracted COI gene for DNA barcode and analyzed the sequences using MEGA 6. Also, genitalic dissection and observation of morphology were conducted. As the result, we have to treated A. asiaticus is valid species.

This study was aimed to report two newly recorded species of the genus Phyllonorycter, P. japonica and P. rostrispinosa, which have been known to endemic species in Japan to date. All the materials examined for adult and genitalic characters with available information. Also, the collecting localities and illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided.

This study was conducted to investigate the seasonal occurrence of Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Citrus leafminer; CLM) and parasitoids in Jeju region, where the damage of CLM to the citrus farm has been recently increased. For this study, annual CLM mornitoring using sex pheromone traps were conducted in the citrus farm of Jeju from 2011 to 2015. The mean annual occurrence of CLS was 477,389 and appeared to increase along the temperature.

The genus Phyllonorycter is a small sized moth among the family Gracillariidae, comprising 401 described species in the world (De Prins & De Prins 2005, 2012). In this study, Phyllonorycter styracis Kumata is reported for the first time from Korea. Material examined for this study was collected from Mt. Palgong on October, 2014 in Korea, and it is known to emerge in winter from Japan. Adult and genitalic characters are described, and available information including the distributional ranges and host plants are provided. Also, DNA barcode for the exact identification of the species was conducted in this study.

The genus Phyllocnistis belongs to the family Gracillariidae including 85 described species in the world (De Prins and De Prins 2005). The genus has been placed under the family Phyllocnistidae, which is now the subfamily of the family Gracillariidae. In Korea, only one species of the family, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton has been listed for the first time by Ko (1969) without the taxonomic information. It was first reported by Heppner (1993) from North America, and it has become to the major pest of Rutaceae, especially damaging on the genus Citrus spp. It has been called as CLM (citrus leafminer) in the world. This study was carried out to identify and monitor CLM easily and correctly with providing the genitalic structures and DNA barcode which is now one of the major insect pest on citrus farm.

This study was conducted to clarify the faunistic data for the genus Olethreutes from North Korea, which is one of the biggest genus in the family Tortricidae. Eventhough there have been several investigations by previous researchers, no comprehensive study on the genus from North Korea has been conducted to date. In the present study, a total of 19 species of the genus Olethreutes were recognized from North Korea. All available information for the species, including the host plants, synonymies, and distributional ranges, is also provided.

We investigated the insect community along altitudinal gradient to gather basic data for distributional monitoring of insect species in the forest ecosystem. The investigation area was Seon-gaksan (Mt.) in Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do province, where the bucket-light trap and pit-fall trap for quantification were installed in Quercus vegetation at altitude of 300m, 600m and 900m. The field collecting was performed on May, July and September 2013 respectively. ANOVA analysis was conducted to analyze the significance between insect species along altitude using the collected insect community data. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed statistically significant differences among ground-beetles and ants abundance with altitude as a response variable. Although we expected a distinct cluster with the difference of altitude at each study site, nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) showed distinct clusters with the moth, ground-beetles, and ant assemblage at altitudinal increase and sampling month. In the result, a total of 309 species in 18 families of nocturnal moths were collected by bucket-light trap. The insects collected in pit-fall trap were ground-beetles with 196 individuals of 26 species and ants with 11,276 individuals of 14 species respectively.

우리나라 화훼산업은 국민 생할수준 향상과 더불어 많은 발전을 거듭해 왔으나 다른 선진국들에 비하여 국민소득 대비 화훼 이용금액이 가장 낮은 국가로 보고되고 있다. 우리나라 화훼이용형태가 결혼식, 장례식, 이벤트 행사등과 같은 일시적 용도인 특수소비가 많은 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 이는 꽃을 주로 경조사나 특별한 기념일에만 주고 받는 선물용으로 생각하는 우리나라 국민의 문화정서 때문으로 파악 된다. 선진국과 같이 정서함양을 목적으로 하는 일반소비에 대한 비중을 높이기위해 화훼에 대한 인식변화와 더불어 구매자의 기호를 파 악하고 화훼상품의 질적인 변화를 꾀해야한다. 대학가의 플라워샵을 방문하는 고객의 주된 연령대는 20대로 남녀비율이 비슷한데 다른 지 역에 비해 남성비율이 높은 것은 선물용구입이 많고, 주 고객의 연령대는 20-30대 젊은 층으로 계속 증가하고 있다, 젊은 여성뿐만 아니라 젊은 남성도 주요한 화훼소비자가 될 가능성이 있으며, 그 선물의 대상이 될 젊은 여성들의 절화에 대한 선호도를 파악하여 화훼상품의 다 양한 개발에 필요한 정보를 알아보고자 서울 성북구 관내 여대생 103명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 상위 절화선호도는 장미(14.6%), 라넌큐러스(10.4%), 안개꽃(10%), 수국(9.4%), 아스틸베(9.1%), 프리지아(7.4%), 천일홍(4.5%), 해바 라기(4.2%), 델피늄(2.9%), 튤립/백합(2,6%)등이며 색상선호도는 분홍(21.7%), 빨강(18.7%), 노랑(18%), 흰색(17.5%), 보라(16.2%),초 록(7.4%), 기타(하늘색, mix color)순으로 밝고 따뜻한 색채에 높은 반응을 보였다. 꽃의 형태는 꽃다발(76.7%)을 가장 선호하며 그 다음으 로 한송이 포장(12.6%), 꽃바구니(4.9%), 꽃박스(4.9%)를 선택하였다. 미래 화훼산업의 주고객인 젊은층이 선호하는 취향과 요구에 맞는 절화 상품의 개발로 만족감을 높여 절화를 일상생활에서 즐길 줄 아는 소비자가 되고 절화시장의 활성화도 기대해 본다
