최근 변화하는 기후로 인해 외래해충의 유입이 증가하였으며 발달된 교통수단 등으로 인해 새로운 지역으로 확산이 가속화되는 추세(Bale, 2002)이므로 그 중요성이 증대하고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라의 최근에 침입한 대표적인 흡즙성 해충인 미국선녀벌레를 대상으로 충청지역의 발생분포를 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 2018년 5월부터 8월까지 충남북 관내 주요 행정구역을 대상으로 미국선녀벌레 발생여부와 피해정도를 중심으로 조사하였다.

The genus Archips is a large group of the family Tortricidae, which includes 136 species in the world. In Korea, 17 species of the genus Archips have been reported up to date. The genus has difficulty in morphological classification with the species because of the sexual dimorphism between male and female. However, the study of the genus Archips with the morphological differences of both sexes has not been studied in Korea. Also, some species are known to pests of agricultural and ornamental plants. In this study, adult and genitalic structure are examined and illustrated. Also, the distributional ranges and collecting localities are provided. And the additional molecular data is necessary because of the ambiguous external characters. So, the result of the DNA barcoding were added.

This study was conducted to clarify the faunistic information of the genus Choristoneura in Korea. The genus Choristoneura belongs to the tribe Archipini of the family Tortricidae, including 46 species in the world. Among them, Choristoneura albaniana (Walker) is the only one species with a Holarctic distribution (Dang, 1992; Fagua et al., 2014). In Korea, 7 species of the genus Choristoneura have been reported up to date. But taxonomic location of some species in the genus are still confused: e.g. transfer of Choristoneura evanidana to Archips; Choristoneura simonyi to Xenotemna and so on. Also, it is necessary to identify correctly the genus Choristoneura, especially known as the forest pest. In this study, we rearrange and re-place the species, including nomenclatural changes according the current study.

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 conducted to present the preliminary list of the genus Archips in Korea. The genus Archips is a large group of the family Tortricidae, which includes 102 species in the world. In Korea, 18 species of the genus Archips have been reported up to date. The genus has difficulty in morphological classification with the species because of the sexual dimorphism between male and female. However, the study of the genus Archips with the morphological differences of both sexes has not been studied in Korea. In this study, the preliminary list including the synonymic list, host plants and distributional ranges was provided for the further study of the genus Archips in Korea.

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.
