In the past, only one species known for Subtribe Physoderina from Korea. In this study reporting 2 genera and 2 species, Lachnoderma asperum Bates, 1883 and Physodera unicolor Ma, Shi & Liang, 2017, as new record to Korea. Taxonomic key, adult habitus, genitalia and distributional information are provided.

Until now, 12 subspeceis of Eucarabus (Parhomopterus) sternbergi has been recorded in South Korea and some were described by foreign entomologist without comparative examination. In addition, most of them were not reviewed since the original description. Therefore, based on this study, all subspecies of this group in South Korea were revised taxonomically, and a new subspecific key was provided. As a result, 8 subspecies of Eucarabus (Parhomopterus) sternbergi were confirmed in South Korea and their new synonyms are as follows: Eucarabus (Parhomopterus) sternbergi sternbergi (Roeschke, 1898) = E. (P.) s. gimhwa (Rapuzzi, 2015); E. (P.) s. honamensis (Kwon et Lee, 1984) = E. (P.) s. jindoensis (Rapuzzi, 2015) = E. (P.) s. goheungicus (Rapuzzi, 2015); E. (P.) s. schnelli (Lassalle, 1999) = E. (P.) s. deogyusan (Rapuzzi, 2015).

Carabidae is one of the largest family in Coleoptera, approximately as a 90% of Adephaga. Up to now, 40,000 species of 33 subfamilies are known worldwide. Therefore, they have been adapting to a variety of environments. This family belong to the superfamily Caraboidea of suborder Adephaga. Among them, family Trachypachidae is very similar to family Carabidae and family Rysodidae sometimes has been treated as a subfamily of this. In addition, from the past to the present, the classification of family Carabidae has been complicated in the states of higher taxa by authors etc. Recently, the taxonomic studies upgraded according the advanced natural science, genetic or phylogenetic methods and development of new methods etc. Nevertheless, their classification is still mainly based on the external morphology and the genital characters. Multiple application of these classification methods, including genetic analysis, endophallus inflation and microscopic observation etc., are being help to solve the taxonomic problems of family Carabidae.

The Chrysomelid species of the genus Xanthogaleruca, X. aenescens Fairmaire, 1878 is reportd for the first time from South Korea. The genus Xanthogaleruca Laboissiére, 1934, within subfamily Galerucinae, contains only nine species, and is distributed Palearctic region (Beenen, 2010), but one adventive species, X. luteola (Müller, 1766), is widespread throughout much of Canada, North Africa and the United States. Also known as the elm leaf beetle, it feed on Ulmus (Ulmaceae). In the present study we report on the genus Xanthogaleruca Laboissiére, 1934 from Korea for the first time, based on X. aenescens Fairmaire, 1878. We provide the habitus photographs, illustrations of diagnostic features and a key to the genus in S. Korea.

2010년부터 2011년까지 미얀마 예진 지역의 과수원에서 methyl eugenol trap을 이용하여 과수원 해충인 과실파리에 대한 발생빈도와 피해정도에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 망고, 구아바, 대추나무를 대상으로 과실파리의 발생 정도를 알아보고 아울러 강수량, 온도, 습도, 일조시간 등 발생과 기후적요인과의 상호관계 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과 회귀분석에서 강수, 최저온도 그리고 상대습도는 과실파리의 발생에 긍정적인 영 향을 주었고 반면에 일조량은 발생을 억제하는 요인으로 작용하였다. 그리고 Bactrocera arecae, B. carambolae, B. correcta, B. dorsalis, B. kandiensis, B. latilineola, B. malaysiensis, B. neocognata, B. raiensis, B. verbascifoliae와 Carpomya vesuvina 등, 모두 11종의 과실파리가 조사되 었고, 그 중 B. correcta와 B. dorsalis가 29.3%와 28.6%로 많은 개체수를 나타내었다. 구아바가 가장 피해가 심했고(59±15.4), 다음은 망고였으 며(35.5±12.1), 반면에 대추에서 가장 낮은 비율을 보였다(18.5±7.9).

Generally, Cerambycidae inhabites in tropical and subtropical zones, and they are large family among Coleoptera and distributed over 20,000 species worldwide. They typically characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. Order Cerambycidae are divided into 11 subfamilies in the world, among them, there are 304 species of the 159 genera in 7 subfamilies from Korea up to date. The genus Anoplophora is belonging to the tribe Agniini in the subfamily Lamiinae. Most species of Anoplophora are showed their beautiful colors on the elytra, pronotum, antennae and ventral parts etc. These colors superficially seems like mere patterns of the integument. Usually, colored pubescent patches of the elytra in Anoplophora are arranged in round spots, in others they are arranged in transverse bands. And also, the species of this genus have very long antennae (about 1.3-1.6 times the body length in males, 1.0-1.5 times the body length in females of most species) then others and mostly body size are large, some species is over 50mm. In this paper Anoplophora freyi is newly recorded in Korea. Consequently, a total of three species of the genus Anoplophora are recorded in Korea.

A long term monitoring was carried out to compare altitudinal effects on insect community structures on high mountains and evaluate responses the monitoring and changed of insect communities induced by the climate change. These mountains were choose for Mt. Jeombong for northern part, Mt. Ilwol for middle and Mt. Beakun for southern. Each mountain was divided into three altitudinal gradients. They were collected three times a season from spring to autumn, using pitfall traps for ground beetles and UV light trap for moths. The present study presents preliminary results of analysis for the first year monitoring. In total 41beetle species and 326 moths were collected from the monitoring sites in 2012. abundance of ground beetles and moths were the highest in Mt. Baekun followed by Mt. Ilwol and lowest in Mt. Jeombong. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed statistically significant differences among sampling area, species evenness and Shannon’s diversity index with altitude in species abundance as a response variable. Also we found statistically significant differences to three species of ground beetle and six species of moths with altitude. Although we expected a distinct cluster with the difference of altitude at each study site. one of ordination analysis, nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS), showed distinct clusters with the ground beetles assemblage at some altitude and moths assemblage at sampling date.

The present study was carried out to revise the species of Chlaeniini in Carabidae from South Korea, using both classic taxonomy and molecular analysis. Another aim is to decide the taxonomic position of Chlaenius micans Fabricius of which subgeneric status in the genus has been in question. As a part of the results, Chlaenius spathulifer Bates, 1873 was newly recognized to Korean insect fauna. With this new addition Korean Chlaeniini contains now in total 34 species and two genera. Molecular analyses using CO1 sequences of representative species for six subgenera in Chlaenius were conducted to determine the position of C. micans. The result of the analyses suggested that C. micans did not belong to the subgenus Achlaenius where C. micans had been doubtfully positioned despite distinct morphological differences from the other four species of the variicornis-group (C. sericimicans, C. variicornis, C. kurosawai and C. ocreatus) in the subgenus. This study provids a key to species, photos of adult habitus, photos of male genitalia and redescriptions of 28 Korean species in Chlaeniini.

Subgenus Achlaenius Manldl, 1992 belonging to the genus Chlaenius Bonelli (1810) of the carabid tribe Chlaeniini. This subgenus was characterized by strong densely pubescent of pronotum and elytra. This subgenus was recorded five species in Korea and Paleoarctic region : Chlaenius micans Fabricius, 1792, C. ocreatus Bates, 1873, C. sericimicans Chaudior, 1876, C. variicornis Morawitz, 1863 and C. kurosawai Kasahara, 1986. However, subgenus Achlaenius was rarely studied in Korea until now because of similar morphological patterns and difficult identification with allied species. As the results, totally four speciesof this subgenus from Korea were reviewed photos of adult and genitalia in male, key to the species of subgenus Achlaenius from Korea

Cicinela chinensis (Coleoptera : Cicindelidae) is usually distributed from Asian countries; Korea, Vietnam, China and Japan. In larval stage, they make hole on ground and eat small insects that pass over the hole, adult also predator on other small insects and they can move fast. They have regional morphological variation, usually variations were showed in elytral pattern and body colors. There are four subspecies, Cicindela chinensis chinensis, Cicindela chinensis flammifera, Cicindela chinensis japonica and Cicindela chinensis okinawana in Cicindela chinensis all of the world. Because of a lot of variation in elytra pattern and body color, identification of Cicindela chinensis is difficult. Therefore to know the distinct differences, comparison analysis by DNA sequence in COI gene was examined. In this paper COI comparison analysis of Cicindela chienesis from different location was examined. Also COI comparison analysis of species with different elytra pattern and body color collected in same location was done. Although they have different color pattern is same region, the result of COI sequence was same. Otherwise, although they have same color pattern in other regions, the result of COI sequence was different.

Being a country with diverse geophysical features and climate, Myanmar scores as one of the richest biological reservoirs in Asia. Myanmar has a rich diversity of flora and fauna, about 68 swallow tail butterflies represent 12% of the world total making it the fifth richest country in the world. Myanmar has a lot of protected areas such as national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and botanical gardens. Among them best to be observed for insects collection are Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park in Sagaing region, Popa Mountain National Park in Mandalay, Mount Victoria National Park and Nat Ma Taung in Chin state. Forest and vegetation types, wildlife, location and access to these parks were presented.

Myanmar is located in the south-east Asia peninsular and it is flanked by five neighboring states: Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. It is located 10~22 degree north latitude, to 92~101 degrees east longitude. Myanmar has a tropical climate with three seasons in Myanmar. Hot season (March through April), rainy season (May through October) and the cool season (November through February). The coastal regions can get very hot and humid, especially before the rainy season. Myanmar has a monsoon season from May to October when there are heavy rains and often flooding. The investigation was carried out during the dry season(2013) in Nat Ma Taung National Park and Popa Mountain Park. Popa Mountain Park is located in Kyawpadaung Township, Myinchan district, Mandaly Division. The area is 49.63 square miles. Its coordinates are 29°31'60" N and 27°43'60" E. Nat Ma Taung National Park, Myanmar treasure is in Mindut District of Chin State and its area of 279 square miles. It is the third highest mountain in Myanmar with the height of 10,500 feet. Its coordinates are 21°14'00" N and 93°54'00" E. As the result, butterflies(Lepidoptera) collected in the two regions were about 60 species of 7 familys. Collecting dates, expedition activities, photo of main specimen and information of Myanmar were provided.

The experiments were conducted from April, 2010 to July, 2011 to explore the species richness of fruit fly and to observe the incidence of Bactrocera species by using Methyl Eugenol trap. In the first experiment, 11 species such as Bactrocera arecae, B. carambolae, B. dorsali, B. kandiensis, B. latilineola, B. malaysiensis, B. neocognata, B. raiensis, B. verbascifoliae, B. correcta and Carpomya pardalina were recorded. All species except Carpomya pardalina were observed in mango. Eight species in guava and five species in jujube were recorded. Bactrocera dorsalis was found to be the most abundant in mango and guava, and B. correcta in jujube. During the second experimental period, the experimental area can be recorded as an infested area because index of fruit fly population captured in traps, FTD (flies/trap/day), was seven. The highest population (437 flies/trap/week) was observed on May 26 in mango orchard. The number of fruit flies was observed to be significant positive correlation with weekly rainfall (R2 = 0.67 in mango, R2 = 0. 34 in guava and R2 = 0.43 in jujube) and relative humidity (R2 = 0.65 in mango), and negative correlation with mean temperature (R2 = 0.72 in mango) and sunshine hour (R2 = 0.61 in mango and R2 = 0.33 in jujube).

Myanmar is located in the Southeastern region of Asia. It lies between latitudes 9° and 29°N, and longitudes 92° and 102°E. The bordering countries are China on the northern side, Thailand and Laos on the eastern region, Bangladesh on the western side and India on the northwestern region. Myanmar has a total area of 678,500 square kilometers (262,000 sq mi). The rainy season exists primarily during the months between June and September. Whiledry season stays during the months between December and April. Northern regions of the country are the coolest, with average temperatures of 21 ℃ (70 ℉). Coastal and delta regions have an average temperature of 32 ℃ (86.9 ℉). This expedition was conducted four times for three years. Among them we explored three area including Popa Mountain, Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park and Nat Ma Taung National Park[Popa Mountain(8.7~8.17, 2011; 7.24~8.3 2012; 2.18~2.28 2013), Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park(2.2~2.9, 2012) and Nat Ma Taung National Park(2.18~2.28 2013)]. Collecting methods was sweeping net, lignt trap, burket trap, pitfall trap with other method, and collected especially mainly Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. As the result, totally about 30 families in Coleoptera and 7 families in Lepidoptera were collected, among them Carabidae and Nymphalidae was revealed most diversity species. Main collect specimens, expedition activities and collections data etc. were provided herein.

The genus Phyllotreta Chevrolat belonging to the subfamily Alticinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). One of the largest alticine genera with approximately 150 species in the Palearctic region and more than 250 species worldwide. In Korea a total of 6 species were known by Lee and An (2001). New species of Phyllotreta Chevrolat, 1837 are described: P. hamata Park sp. nov. from South Korea. The relationships of the new species with the actual species groups of Phyllotreta are discussed. Also, illustrations of diagnostic characteristics of the new species including male aedeagus and spermatheca are provided with a key to South Korean Phyllotreta species. Up to now 7 species of Phyllotreta have been recorded from the South Korea, including the present species.

Genus Chlaenius Bonelli, 1810 of the tribe Chlaeniini is a cosmopolitan group distributed in all zoogeographical region. General characteristics of Chlaenius are with pubescent or metallic luster on the pronotum and elytra, and antennal second segment shorter than third segment. Members of subgenus Ocybatus are similar to those of subgenera Lissauchenius and Chlaenioctenus in having a round yellow spot on each elytron, but it showed difference from them having apical segment of labial palpi strongly securiform. Subgenus Ocybatus Laferté-Sénectere, 1851 belonging to the genus Chlaenius were reported three species from Paleoarctic region: Chlaenius (Ocybatus) junceus Andrewes, 1923, Chlaenius (Ocybatus) spathulifer Bates, 1873, Chlaenius (Ocybatus) bioculatus Chaudoir, 1856, among them Chlaenius (Ocybatus) bioculatus Chaudoir, 1856 has been recorded in Korea. In here Chlaenius (Ocybatus) spathulifer Bates reported firstly from Korea. Description and photo of adult are provided.
