An analysis of Lysiphlebus Foerster species reared from various field-collected aphid species determined the presence of probably trans-palearctic L. fabarum (Marsh.), L. testaceipes (Cress.) which is an accidentally introduced and established immigrant from North America, and L. koraiensis Stary sp. n., a native species of presumably broader distribution. Both parthenogenetic and biparental populations of L. fabarum were identified in Korea.
The tribe Xanthorhoini of Larentiinae in Korea is reviewed. Eighteen species of eight genera, Scotopteryx Hubner, Costaconvexa Agenjo, Catarhoe Herbulot, Orthonama Aubert, Xanthorhoe Hubner, Euphyia Hubner, Epirrhoe Hubner, and Glaucorhoe Herbulot, are recognized. Four new taxonomic changes are suggested: Scotopteryx golovushkini Kostjuk syn. nov. and S. kuznecovi Herbulot syn. nov. of S. acutangulata Inoue; Microcalcarifera Inoue syn. nov. of Catarhoe Herbulot; and one new combination, Catarhoe obscura (Butler) comb. nov. A key to genera, diagnosis of each species, distribution map and illustrations of adults including male and female genitalia are provided.
Four new species of Calosima Dietz, 1910 (Holcocerini); Calosima albafaciella, C. albafasciata, C. malikuli, and C. moriutii are described from Thailand. Photographs of the imagos and illustrations of the male and female genitalia are provided as available.
A comprehensive literature review and examination of mayfly materials from Northeast China resulted in the recognition of 65 species, 28 genera, and 12 families of Ephemeroptera. Checklist, original reference sources, larval diagnoses, measurements, materials examined, distributions, and taxonomic remarks are provided. Macro-photos of larval body (dorsal view) and line-drawings of larval key characters are also provided.
Leafbeetles of subfamily Zeugophorinae in Korea are revised. Z. annulata and Z. bicolor are known to the Korean peninsula until now. This subfamily is classified into only one genus, Zeugophora Kunze. Species of the genus are revised. Among them, Zeugophora (Pedrillia) trisignata sp. nov. is described as new to science. A key, external photos, geographical data and host plants to the three species of the genus, included description of new species, are provided.
Horseflies of the Tabanus immanis species group from Korea are revised taxonomically. A total of six species are arranged herein. Among them, T. vibex is new to science, and T. toshiokai is newly recorded. A key, annotated domestic records, and collection data are also provided.
Korean Symmorphus species are reviewed taxonomically. We have confirmed eleven species including six newly recorded ones from the Korean Peninsula: Symmorphus ambotretus, S. angustatus, S. apiciornatus, S. bifasciatus, S. carinatus, S. decens, S. foveolatus, S. lucens, S. mizuhonis, S. murarius, S. tsushimanus. A key, diagnosis, remark and illustrations to all the known species are provided.
Two species of peltoperlid stonefly nymphs, Cryptoperla bisaeta (Kawai) and Cryptoperla sp. 1 (Plecoptera, Peltoperlidae), are described from Vietnam. Their descriptions, diagnoses, photographs, and taxonomic remarks are provided.
The occurrence and newly described features, Pterostichus (Nialoe) tuuncatus Park et Kwon, 1996, was discussed and comprised with allied species by collection of Mt. Noaksan, vicinity of Sangju city, Korea.
