Nine previously described forms of Asian Pheidole species are synomimized, based on the reexamination of the type materials: Pheidole attila Forel, 1913 is synonymized with P. capellinii Emergy, 1887; Pheidole exasperata var. concordia Santschi, 1916 and P. e. var. fusiformis Viehmeryer, 1914, with P. aglae Forel, 1913; P. multicoma Eguchi, 19999, with P. comata F. Smith, 1858; P. havilandi var. sapuana Foreal, 1911 and P. h. var. selangorensis Forel, 1913, with P. havilandi Forel, 1911; P. huberi var. perakensis Forel, 1911, with P. huberi Forel, 1911; P. nodgii r. maxwellensis Forel, 1913, with P. magrettii Emery, 1887; P. treubi Forel, 1905, with P. noda Fr. Smith, 1874. P. nodgii var. tjibodana Forel, 1905 and P. sauberi subsp. sarawakana Forel, 1911 are considered to the good biological species. Lectotypes are designated for 31 forms of Asian Pheidole. Either rediscription or taxonomic remarks are given for each species.
Three species of Macrosiphum(Unisitobion) are recognized from the Korean Peninsula, among which M.(Unisitobion) sorbi matsumura, 1918 and M.(Unisitobion) perilae(Zhang, 1988), comb. nov. are new to the Korean Peninsula. Morphological characteristics are discussed with the microscopic photos. Two species, M.(Unisitobion) sorbi and M.(Unisitobion) perillae are redescribed. The subgeneric position of each species is discussed. The host plants, brief biology, and a key to all known species of the subgenus are also presented.
The East Palaearctic genus Atrachea Warren, 1911 are revised. Two generic names Trichosternum Draudt, 1950, syn. n. and Zutragum Nye, 1975(replacement name for Trichosternum), syn. n. are synonymized with Atrachea. Three new combinations and new synonymies for two specific names are proposed: Atrachea prasinatra(Draudt, 1950), comb. n., Atrachea leucochlora(Boursin, 1970), comb. n., Atrachea munda(Leech, 1900) = Valeriodes muscosula Draudt, 1950, syn. n.; A. viridinigra(Hreblay et Ronkay, 1997), comb. n.; Atrachea ochrotica(Hampso, 1910) = Trichosternum likianga Draudt, 1950, syn. n. Two new species, A. draudti sp. n. and A. chlorofasciata sp. n. from China are described. A list of Palaearctic species of Atrachea is presented.
포충나방과(나비목)에 속하는 들명나방아과의 4종, Agrotera posticalis Wileman, Udea stigmatalis (Wileman), Diathraustodes amoenialis(Christoph), Pygospila tyres(Cramer)을 우리 나라에서 처음으로 보고하며, 이중에서 Diathraustodes속과 Pygospila속은 우리나라에서 처음 기록한다. 이들의 분류학적 특징을 간략히 재기재하고, 채집된 성충 및 암.수 생식기를 도해하였다. 특히 Udea stigmatalis는 생식기의 특징을 최초로 기재하며 도해하였다.
Caloptilia schisandrae Kumata is reported for the first time from Korea, with redescription of adult and illustration of the genitalia of both sexes. Larvae of the species caused damages on young plants of Schisandra chinensis(Turcz.).
