A total of 50 species under two genera in the family Andrenidae are listed from Korea based on the examination of specimens in several depositories and literatural review. Andrena kyusani Kim & Kim, 1989 is found to be a junior synonym of A. longitibialis Hirachima, 1961.
We investigated Korean cave species of the superfamily Staphylinoidea from 32 local cave sites and found 21 species belonging to three families. Among them, three species, Geodromicus hermani Watanabe, G. nipponensis Watanabe and Bolitobius parasetiger Schulke belonging to Staphylinidae are newly recorded from Korea and 15 species are newly added in Korean cave-dwelling fauna. Together with one species recorded but not found in this study, a total of 22 species of Staphylinoidea are recorded in Korean cave-dwelling fauna.
The species of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Taiwan are taxonomically reviewed. In this paper, 20 species belonging to nine genera in cicadine tribes, Platypleurini, Tibicenini, Polyneurini, and Dundubiini (subtribe Dundubiina) are included. Cosmopsaltria montana Kato, 1927 is synonymized with Macrosemia kareisana (Matsumura, 1907). Information on the biology and the male chirping of most species including two oscillograms are provided. Information on the distribution of all known species is given.
The genus Myrmecina of Korean fauna is reviewed. Two species of the Myrmecina have been recorded from Korea, Myrmecina nipponica Wheeler and Myrmecina flava Terayama. They are fully described here with its morphological characteristics and SEM photomicrographs. Detailed characteristics of the genus, a key to the Korean species, and worker images of each species are provided.
