Nemophora Hoffmannsegg, 1798 is a relatively large group in Adelidae, including about 350 species worldwide. Only 13 species are known to Korean insect fauna up to date. The present study is to report N. ochsenheimerella, which is new to Korea. N. ochsenheimerella is externally similar to N. wakayamensis but can be distinguished by having characters in male genitalia as follows: cucullus longer than N. wakayamensis and N. ochsenheimerella has two rows of curnus consisting of numerous minute spines.
The family Crambidae, so called as Grass moths, have been known as a difficult group in identification due to their similar wing patterns among the allied species. Some species are well known as pests to the agricultural and ornamental plants of economic importance. Therefore, this study was carried out to provide the DNA barcode and related information for distinguishing the complex species among Crambidae. In this study, we extracted and analyzed the DNA barcodes from 185 specimens of 76 species in the family Crambidae. Based on the result, one species of the genus Schoenobius, Pagyda, Neoanalthes, Palpita, Ecpyrrhorrhoe and Paratalanta area reported for the first time from Korea.
Ippa conspersa (Matsumura, 1931)를 포함한 Ippa Walker, 1864 속의 한국 분포를 최초로 확인하였다. I. conspera의 유충은 Lasius (Lasius) spp. 와 같은 몇몇 개미류를 포식하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이번 연구를 통하여 한국산 I. conspera의 성충 및 암수 생식기, 유충의 외부 형태를 기재하 고 도판을 제시하였다.
본 연구에서는 국내 광릉숲에서 우리나라 천연기념물이자 멸종위기 종인 장수하늘소(Callipogon relictus Semenov)의 새로운 기주식물로 졸참나무(Quercus serrata Thunb. ex Murray)를 처음 보고한다. 졸참나무 안에서 발견하였던 장수하늘소 유충의 형태학적 측정값과 재검토한 장수하늘소의 기주식물 목록을 제공한다.
