Pogonini Laporte, 1834 is one of the tribes in Trechinae Bonelli, 1810 (Coleoptera: Carabidae). This tribe is morphologically similar to Trechini, Benbidiini, Zolini and Patrobini of the subfamily. However, Pogonini can be distinguished from the other tribes by having a combination of the following characters: apical maxillary palpomere fusiform; umbilical series of setae on elytron more or less contiguous (though sparse in middle); each tarsomeres with a median sulcus on dorsal side. Pogonini includes about 85 species of 12 genera worldwide and is found in all zoogeographical regions of the world. Many species inhabit along the sea coasts or near salt lakes, and are recognized as halobiont. In Korea, Paik (1998) reported Pogonus (Pogonus) itoshimaensis Habu, 1954. However, he added only the species name in the checklist without description or illustration although few specimens were examined. After Paik’s study, any studies on taxonomic status and distribution of Korean Pogonini have not been carried out. The genus Pogonus Dejean is the largest group in Pogonini with two subgenera: P. (Pogonoidius Carret, 1903) and P. (Pogonus Dejean, 1821). These two subgenera share very similar external morphological characters; Pogonoidius has setae on anterior angles of pronotum and setae at 7th interval of elytra while Pogonus does not have them. In the present study, two species, Pogonus (Pogonus) japonicus Putzeys, 1875 and P. (Pogonoidius) punctulatus Dejean, 1828, are newly recognized from Korea. A key to the Korean Pogonini species, redescription, distribution, photos of diagnostic characters, and illustrations of male and female genitalia are provided.

To date there have been only two species in genus Pogonus and subgenus Europhilus of genus Agonum recognized from Korean insect fauna: Pogonus itoshimaensis Habu, 1954 and Agonum (Europhilus) bellicum Lutshnik, 1934. In the present study one additional species for each genus is newly recognized from Korea: Pogonus (Pogonus) japonicus Putzeys, 1875 and Agonum (Europhilus) gratiosum nipponicum Habu, 1972. A key to adults, redescription, diagnostic photos of adult and male and female genitalia are provided.

The genus Glischrochilus Reitter, 1873 is characterized by reddish or yellowish markings on their elytra. This genus is belonging to family Nitidulidae Latreille,1802. Five species in this genus: Glischrochilus (Librodor) ipsoides (Reitter, 1879), Glischrochilus (Librodor) japonicus (Motschulsky, 1858), Glischrochilus (Librodor) pantherinus (Reitter, 1879), Glischrochilus (Librodor) parvipustulatus (Kolbe, 1886), Glischrochilus (Librodor) rufiventris (Reitter, 1879) have been recorded in Korea upto now. Additionally, a new recorded species, G. christophi, are recognized from korea. As the results, descriptions and illustrations of adults of totally five species with one newly recorded species in Korea were reviewed herein. A key to Korean species of genus Glischrochilus is also provided.

We investigated the insect community along altitudinal gradient to gather basic data for distributional monitoring of insect species in the forest ecosystem. The investigation area was Seon-gaksan (Mt.) in Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do province, where the bucket-light trap and pit-fall trap for quantification were installed in Quercus vegetation at altitude of 300m, 600m and 900m. The field collecting was performed on May, July and September 2013 respectively. ANOVA analysis was conducted to analyze the significance between insect species along altitude using the collected insect community data. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed statistically significant differences among ground-beetles and ants abundance with altitude as a response variable. Although we expected a distinct cluster with the difference of altitude at each study site, nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) showed distinct clusters with the moth, ground-beetles, and ant assemblage at altitudinal increase and sampling month. In the result, a total of 309 species in 18 families of nocturnal moths were collected by bucket-light trap. The insects collected in pit-fall trap were ground-beetles with 196 individuals of 26 species and ants with 11,276 individuals of 14 species respectively.

The phylogenetic relationships of species and genera in the subfamily Nymphalinae from Myanmar were inferred using mtDNA sequence data from 608 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). A total of 20 species in 10 genera were sequenced and used to construct phylogenetic trees. The base composition of COI sequences was 38.1% T, 15.6% C, 31.6% A, 14.7% G, revealing strong AT bias (69.7%). The sequence distance of 20 species of Nymphalinae ranged from 1.5% to 15.5%. The transition of nucleotide substitution was more common than transversion. The transition between T and C were higher than transition between A and G, and the transversion between A and T was the highest amongst other types of transversion. The phylogenetic trees were constructed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods and showed almost identical topologies. The results indicated that the tribes Junoniini and Nymphalini (sensu Wahlberg et al., 2005) formed monophyletic groups but Kallimini was not monophyletic group. Rhinoplapa polynice formed sister group to Junoniini clade with moderate support in both trees. The relationship of species in Junoniini was ((Junonia + Yoma) + Hypolimnas) and the relationship in Nymphalini was (Symbrenthia + (Vanessa + (Kaniska + Polygonia))). The clustering results were almost identical to current morphological classification.

This study to figure out the diversity patterns and community structures of ground beetle of the Gyebang Mountain newly is incorporated into Odaesan National Park, Korea. A total of 47 species belonging to 20 genera of 12 subfamilies were identified from 483 collected ground beetles. Species richness was high in Pterostichinae (18 species, 39%), Carabinae (8 species, 18%), Harpalinae (7 species, 15%), Lebiinae (3 species, 7%), Bembidiinae and Nebriinae (2 species, 5%) and others (1 species, 2%). Twenty-three species were brachypterous and 24 species were macropterous. The dominant species was Synuchus nitidus (19.05%) and a subdominant species was Eucarabus cartereti cartereti (14.49%). Dominance, species diversity, species richness, and species evenness index were 0.56, 3.00, 3.85 and 0.70, respectively. Also, Acoptolabrus mirabilissimus ssp. 1 is discovered in the Mt. Gyebang area for the first time.

A total of 48 host plants of 12 species of leaf-rolling weevils form 5 provinces in Korea are recongnized by results of field observation of long period and breeding of cradles in the laboratory from April 2006 to September 2010. Of them 1 species are added the host plants for the first time in Korea.

This paper studies on the effects of new biological control system, particularly on banker plants of Orius laevigatus to control Frankliniella occidentalis on rose. Orius banker plants for Frankliniella occidentalis were investigated under the conditions of photoperiod 16L:8D, 70 ± 5% RH and 22 ± 2oC. Three types of plants(Sedum sarmentosum, ortulaca grandiflora, Mentha rotundifolia) were used to effectiveness verification of egg taking. And P. grandiflora has been selected as the banker plants for O. laevigatus. Result from this banker plants clearly demonstrated that the population of F. occidentalis was kept under the economic threshold level (1.9 per flower).

This study was carried out to know some regional gene difference in carabid beetle, Coptolabrus jankowskii. There are eight subspecies in this species from Korea and it was too difficult to identify by morphological similarity. The mitochondrial ND5 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5) gene of Coptolabrus jankowskii from four regions of (Sangju, Daegu, Mt. Jumbong and Jeju island) was compared. The results showed the differences of the base sequence of total 57 sites and the amino acid variation of the 25 sites. The Neighbor-joining tree and Maximum parsimony tree were established based on sequence data of the ND5. In NJ tree, the Jeju area except Songdangri, and Mt. Jeombong region showed close relationship group. In the case of Maximum parsimony tree, the result divided to three separated group, the first connected group was Jeju Songdangri area and the other the Korean peninsula region except Mt. Jeombong. Others were Jeju area except Songdangri, and Mt. Jeombong region.

Pansies butterflies belong to the genus Junonia are widely distributed throughout Myanmar and 6 species of Junonia have been reported in Myanmar. Molecular comparison of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) nucleotide sequences among the species of Junonia was conducted. The nucleotides divergence of COI sequences between species were 2.9 to 7.9% and sequences identity was 92.5-97.7%. The phylogenetic trees were constructed by using Neighbour-joining (NJ) and Maximum likelihood (ML) methods. In both methods, phylogentic trees were showed identical and were revealed that all sequences of Junonia species from Myanmar were in the same cluster with those of the same species from other countries.

This study to figure out the diversity patterns, community structures, and seasonality of ground beetle assemblages in ecosystem and landscape conservation areas around the Wangpi-cheon area, Korea. A total of 38 species belonging to 20 genera of 8 subfamilies were identified from 2,486 collected ground beetles. Species richness was high in Pterostichinae (16 species, 42.11%), Carabinae (8 species, 21.05%), Harpalinae (5 species, 13.16%), Callistinae (3 species, 7.89%), Nebriinae (3 species, 7.89%) and others (1 species, 2.63%). The dominant species were Synuchus cycloderus(41.2%) and Aulonocarabus seishinensis seishinensis (13.4%) and their seasonal activities according to the sites were different. According to non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), ground beetles and ecological grades could be divided into two distinct groups: St. 1, St. 2, St. 3 group and St. 4 group. Some species such as Pterostichus orientalis, P. vicinus and P. bellator bellator were particularly abundant at St. 4. Also, Acoptolabrus mirabilissimus ssp. 1 is discovered in the Wangpi-cheon area for the first time.

Yellow tea thrip (Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is anthophilous pests of many crops worldwide including five flavor berry. And the mealy bug (Pseudaulacaspis cockerelli (Cooley) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae)) is one of the hardest pests to control. Its body is covered with white waxy threads, which often make a chemical pest control useless. Five flavor berry (Schisandra chinensis Baill) is used in traditional Chinese medicine. So, the development of biological control against the major pest on five flavor berry is of great interest. In this work, a treatment of Chrysoperla nipponensis (Okamoto) was applied to five flavor berry fields infested by P. cockerelli and a treatment of Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot was applied to two types of five flavor berry fields infested by S. dorsalis. Even though our tests found significant differences between the two culturing method(sod culture, nonwoven type mulching), the treatment of biological control agents decreased or a little increased the fruit damage, which was comparable to the chemical insecticide treatment. In the sod culture experiment, thrip population was significantly low and increased at a lower rate than in the nonwoven type mulching. It may be suggested from these results that A. swirskii and C. nipponensis as IPM program and sod culture could be incorporated into the integrated pest management system on five flavor berry.

The genus Sphaeroderma Baly, comprising over 165 species, is distributed mainly in Palaeotropical superregion and a few species are also known from Neotropical region. Seventy-four species in Palearctic region. In Korea a total of 5 species were known by Lee & An (2001), An (2011). In this paper, we report Sphaeroderma seriatum Baly for the first time in the Korean fauna. We provide the habitus photographs, illustrations of diagnostic features and a key to the genus in Korea. Up to now 6 species of Sphaeroderma have been recorded from the Korea, including the present species.

The family Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of moths with around 11,155 species of 750 genera (Heppner, 2005) in three subfamilies found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species (Scoble, 1995). The family is characterized in the following characters (Kitching ＆ Rawlins, 1999): hindwing with Sc+R and S fused for about 1/3 length of discal cell, occasionally completely fused, or only fused for 1/4 length of cell; almost always with either fore coxa, patagium, or abdomen orange or red and contrasting with color of dorsal thorax; metathorax with tymbal organs appearing as a striated band on katepisternum. Taxonomic study of the Arctiidae in Cambodia has been done by a few foreign entomologists. As the results of this study, about 90 species of 40 genera belonging to Arctiidae were recorded from Cambodia, most of them are recorded for the first time in Cambodia. Besides, 12 species have not been identified yet. The materials for identification are based on the collection of University of Incheon, which were collected from 2009-2012 in Cambodia by Cambodian and Korean researcher.

 ,  , Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of the last instar larva of Lilioceris (Lilioceris) ruficollis (Baly, 1865) with the host species, Dioscorea spp., are presented for the first time. Taxonomical and ecological remarks on their biology are also given herein.

Cambodia covers an area of 181,035 sq km, among them, forests cover 53 percent, so there are abundant Insect diversities. Collecting expeditions of Insect were conducted from towns of Osam (first base camp, N 12° 04' 51.7" E 103° 12' 30.5" alt. : 549m) and Roveang (second base camp N 12° 19' 06.5" E 103° 3' 03.8" alt. : 53m) in Pursat Province, western part of Cambodia. As protected forest from government, these areas were almost natural conservation field. Pitfall trap, sweeping method, light trap and searching etc. were used to collect insect. Specially in this expedition, large or big sized beetles, more than 5cm body length, for example, Lucanidae, Cerambycidae, Elateridae etc., mostly collected from light trap in deep forest. Materials are expected more than 100 species belonging to 20 families but it was difficult to identification because of lack of references of this areas. Maybe lots of new or new recorded species will found from Cambodia. Among Coleoptera species, with big sized beetles as the central figure, photos for species of dominant, rare, nominated species of new or new recorded were introduced, and also collecting sites and activities were presented.

Immature stages of Mantura rustica (Linnaeus) are described in detail for the first time in Korea. A key to identifying larvae of Korean Mantura is provided, with their illustrations and larval tubercle pattern.

This study was conducted to investigate the altitudinal distribution of the ground beetle community in a mountain area during 2007 to 2009, and to examine what habitat characters are most relevant to the distribution of mountain ground beetle species, and finally to identify potential biological indicators for monitoring in forest. The study area was Mt. Sobaeksan National Park (1439 m elevation), in Punggi-up, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Ground beetles were collected by pitfall traps, which were installed along the altitudinal gradient 437, 757, 1100 and 1420 m. In total, 3,259 individuals were identified as 32 species in 18 genera. The dominant species were Synuchus cycloderus (29.4%), Eucarabus sternbergi sobaeksanensis (15.4%) and Pterostichus orientalis (9.7%) in order. Overall, the ground beetle community structure was different along the altitude (similarity 65.2%) by NMDS ordination, but also were clustered into 2 groups, 437 and 757 m, and 1100 and 1420 m (similarity 57.9%). Therefore, the ground beetle assemblage could provide basic information for forest management. In this study, some ground beetle species were suggested to potential biological indicators along altitudinal gradient.

The genus Lilioceris Reitter, 1912, containing generally thirty species of two subgenera, is distributed Oriental regions (Gressit and Kimoto, 1961). Seven species were recorded in Korea (Lee and An, 2001). Many of them are important pests on medicinal plants and garden flowers (lily, yam, etc). There have been a few studies on the adult taxonomy of Korean Lilioceris (Gressitt and Kimoto, 1961; An et al., 1986; An and Kwon, 1995, An, 1995, 1996, 1998, Lee and An, 2001). Although the main damage to the plants is caused by their larvae, nothing is known about the immature stages of Korean Lilioceris. L. (L.) ruficollis is associated with the host plants of Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae), especially D. septemioba which is a well-known medicinal plant in Korea. In the present paper, detailed descriptions and illustrations of the immature stages of L. (L.) ruficollis are provided for the first time. Some remarks on their biology are also given.

Cambodia covers an area of 181,035 sq km, among them, forests cover 53 percent, so there are abundant Insect diversities. Collecting expeditions of Insect were conducted several times from 2009 to 2010 (09. 7.2-7.11, 10.16-22, 12.25-12.30, 10. 4. 30-5.6) in Cambodia sponsored by Natioanl Biological Resources, Korea. Central Cadamon Protected Forest (N 11 41' 13" E 103 26' 31.3"), Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area (N 12° 08' 20.8", E 106 55' 2.7") and Prov. Pursat, Roveang (N 12° 19' 06.5", E 103° 3' 03.8") were main area surveyed by pitfall trap, light trap and sweeping, searching etc. Numerous individuals were collected and more than 150 species belonging to 40 families were founded, among them, there were lots of new and new recorded species. Among Cambodian insects, species of Lepidoptera, Coleoptra and Hymenoptera were preferentially introduced in here. The photos for species of dominant, rare, new and new recorded were provided, and also collecting sites and activities were presented.
