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.

Insect infestation leads to huge loss of agricultural products and transmission of vector-borne diseases causing millions of deaths per annum. Juvenile hormone (JH) controls the development and reproduction of insects, therefore the grouth of insects can be inhibited by interfering the action of JH. Based on this, we developed a novel insect species-specific screening system to identify juvenile hormone antagonists (JHANs) from natural origin. These compounds can disrupt JH-mediated insect development by interfering the binding of a heterodimer, steroid receptor coactivator (SRC), with its partner protein, the methoprene-tolerant (Met) JH receptor. This screening system could be used as a new tool to develop eco-friendly and species-specific insecticides.

This study was aimed to report two newly recorded species of the genus Phyllonorycter, P. japonica and P. rostrispinosa, which have been known to endemic species in Japan to date. All the materials examined for adult and genitalic characters with available information. Also, the collecting localities and illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided.

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.

The family Cosmopterigidae belongs to superfamily Gelechioidea, comprising 1,792 species of 135 genera worldwide (Sinev, 2002). In Korea, Park (1983) listed 9 species of 5 genera. Later, Park (1994) recorded 9 species of 5 genera of the family. Sinev and Park (1994) reported 4 species of 2 genera. And Ponomarenko and Park (1997) reported a newly recorded genus with one new species. In total, 23 species of 7 genera under 3 subfamilies are recorded in Korea. In the present study, one species of genus Pyroderces including a newly recorded species Pyroderces sarcogypsa is reported for the first time from Korea. Adult and genitalia of the species are examined and illustrated.

Caloptilia Hübner, 1825 is one of the largest genera in Gracillariidae. 314 species have been known around the world. To date, 19 species were known from Korea. In the present study, one species, C. acericola (Kumata, 1966), is newly recognized from South Korea. Caloptilia acericola was first described from Japan and it also distribute Russian Far East. The name of this species was derived from the genus name (Acer, Aceraceae) of its host plant. We redescribed with illustrations of adults and genitalic structures to distinguish the species from the congeneric species in South Korea.

This study was conducted to review the family Psychidae in the Korean peninsula with taxonomic arrangement, some biological notes and phylogenetic analyses. In this study, totally 20 species of 8 genera belonging to 5 subfamilies in the family were recognized from Korea. Among them, a new subfamily Ceratostiinae subfam. nov. is proposed based on the type genus Ceratosticha Meyrick. Four new species are described as new to science. Also, six newly recorded species are first recorded in this study. In addition, ecological characteristics, distributional ranges, host plants and biological notes including life cycle and parasites on the larva were described. A phylogenetic and a molecular clock analysis were conducted to construct the systematic relationship and evolutionary process within the family Psychidae species.

Ypsolopha속 (나비목:Ypsolophidae)의 2종, Ypsolopha vittella (Linnaeus, 1758)와 Ypsolopha nigrofasciata (Yang, 1977)를 우리나라에서 는 처음으로 보고한다. 이 두 종의 진단형질, 기재, 분포, 기주식물, 성충사진 및 암컷 생식기 사진을 제시하였다.

대면적 개벌의 대안으로서, 대상 개벌은 생산림지의 생태 조건 보전과 임분 재생을 모두 고려하는 작업법이다. 그러나 우리나라에서는 대상 벌채 기법의 적용 및 효율성에 대한 연구를 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 연구는 강원도 삼척에서 2012년부터 2014년까지 소나무림 대상 벌채 (10m, 20m 및 40m) 처리 전･후의 하층식생 반응 및 소나무 재생과 임분 환경 변화와의 상관성을 방형구법을 적용하여 조사 및 분석하였다. 하층식생 피도 및 종다양성은 대상 벌채 넓이에 상관없이 교목 종 및 광선호 종의 확장에 의해 증가하는 경향이었고, 신갈나무, 맑은대쑥 및 산딸기 등의 벌채 후 잔존 교목 및 광선호 종들의 활발한 증가가 관찰되었다. 대상 벌채 구역의 소나무 정착은 수관층 환경 (광량 및 수관열림 도) 및 토양나출도와는 정의 상관, 그리고 하층식생 및 임상 목질잔해물의 피도와는 음의 상관을 나타내었다.
