Three species belonging to two families of minute-sized spiders, viz, Theridiosoma fulvum (Araneae: Theridiosomatidae), Microdipoena ogatai and Microdipoena shenyang (Araneae: Mysmenidae), were discovered for the first time in Korea. Previously T. fulvum and M. ogatai were known to distribute only in Japan, M. shenyang only in China. All former records of Microdipoena jobi from Korea are misidentifications of M. shenyang. Detailed descriptions and photographs of three species are provided.

The family Cryptophagidae Kirby (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) comprises minute beetles, with approximately 800 described species within about 50 genera worldwide. Most members of this family are found in moldy environments and feed on fungal spores and hyphae. The Korean cryptophagid fauna is poorly known, consisting of 22 species belonging to 8 genera. In this study, seven species of Cryptophagidae reported for the first time in Korea: Atomaroides ussurica (Lyubarsky), Cryptophagus micaceus Rey, Cryptophagus pumilus Reitter, Cryptophagus zonatus Lyubarsky, Henoticus pilifer Reitter, Micrambe (Micrambinus) bimaculata (Panzer), and Serratomaria vulgaris Sasaji. Illustrations of habitus, male genitalia, and collection localities of these seven species are provided.

The jewel beetle, Trachy dilaticeps Gebhardt, 1928 has been known to occur in Japan, China, Taiwan, and Vietnam hitherto. This species is typically distributed in Oriental region. In the case of Palaearctic region, it has only been documented in Japan (Kyushu). In this study, we report T. dilaticeps for the first time from Korea, along with its diagnostic characters. Ecological and distributional information is also provided herein.

The Genus Psectra is a small group of Hemerobiidae, and Psectra diptera is one of the rare and attractive species in this group because of hindwing variation. They are well known to have their hindwing reduced, similar to flies, depending on their habitat environment. We report Genus Psectra and Psectra diptera, new records from Korea. We provide brief descriptions and photos of adults and genitalia.

The genus Grapholita, belonging to the tribe Grapholitini under the family Tortricidae, which is small to medium-sized moths ranging from 7mm to 16mm. It is a relatively diverse group in Grapholitini, comprising more than 150 species worldwide. This group is generally distributed throughout the world, with the majority of its species occurring in the Holarctic region. Some species in the genus Grapholita are known worldwide as serious pests that feed on leaves, roots, fruits and other plant parts. In Korea, the genus is known to have 8 described species up to date. In this study, we report two newly recorded species of the genus Grapholita from Korea, including a brief description and illustrations of adult and genitalia. Additionally, all available information including distribution, host plants and a taxonomic key to Korean Grapholita species is provided.

The Genus Rhynchaenus Clairville, known as a significant pest group with distribution of worldwide. 40 and 11 species were reported in Japan and China, repectively. Members of Rhynchaenus are usually known as flea weevils and leaf-miners on laval stage. While working on Insects founa of Island, we discovered one species, which is a newly added to the Korean founa (Rhynchaenus maculosus Yang & Zhang). This species was newly emerging pest severely Oak in China. The diagnosis, photographs of habitus and diagnostic characters are provided to facilitate identification.

Cryptotympana atrata belongs to the family Cicadidae, has long been recognized as a damaging plant-sucking pest, and is distributed in East Asian countries. In addition, their cries cause direct harm to us through noise pollution and also reported twig damage in the forest environments. In this study, we isolated strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium that occurred from C. atrata collected this year. Here, we provide the morphological character and molecular phylogenetic relationship of this species. This is the first record of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium viridulum isolated from C. atrata in Korea and provides a candidate strain with potential use for biological agents.
