Two linyphiid spiders, Saitonia kawaguchikonis Saito & Ono, 2001 and Asthenargus niphonius Saito & Ono, 2001 were confirmed from Korea for the first time. Males of S. kawaguchikonis and a female of A. niphonius were collected with pitfall traps in a leaf litter of mixed forests in three National Parks (Hallyeohaesang National Park, Mt. Naejangsan, and Mt. Sobaeksan) during the seasonal surveys for the spider fauna in mountainous terrain from 2018 to 2020. These two species were formerly known from China and Japan, or only from Japan, respectively. The present study describes these two species with measurements, morphological illustrations, and a distribution map. This report adds the genus Asthenargus Simon & Fage, 1922 from Korea to the Korean spider fauna for the first time.

The stick insect fauna of Laos has been poorly studied to date. Only 4 species are recorded from the country: Medauroidea brongniarti (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907), Phobaeticus magnus Hennemann & Conle, 2008, Parapachymorpha spiniger (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907), Sipyloidea sipylus (Westwood, 1859). Assessment of their actual species richness is impeded by various unfavorable circumstances. Their cryptic and immobile lifestyle does not allow for easy trapping and collecting. The aim of this study is to update the taxonomic status of the order Phasmatodea in Laos for the future study.

식물에게 있어 화분매개는 필수적인 요소 중 하나인데, 화분매개를 하는 식물 중 50%이상이 곤충에 의해 화분매개가 이루어지고 있다. 화분매개를 하는 곤충에 대한 조사는 주로 농업과 관련되어 있는 과수작물 주변의 화분매개곤충에 대해 조사가 되어있지만, 정작 양봉과 관련되어 있는 밀원식물 주변의 화분매개곤충은 조사된 바가 없다. 이에 연구진은 밀원식물 중 국내에서 가장 많은 양봉생산물을 만드는 아까시나무(Robinia pseudoacacia L.)의 개화시기에 맞춰서 화분매개곤충을 조사하였다. 조사지역은 총 6군데로, 백두대간을 중심으로 RCP 기후변화 시나리오에 의해 지정되었다. 조사 결과, 전체적으로 6목 60과 183종 1,555개체의 화분매개곤충이 채집되었다. 이중, 가장 많이 채집된 종은 노린재목의 애긴노린재(Nysius plebejus)로 약 21.30%가 채집되었다. 채집된 종을 군집분석한 결과, 강릉지역이 가장 안정적인 생태계를 유지하고 있으며, 완주지역이 가장 불완전한 생태계를 유지하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Genus Nemapogon Schrank, 1802, of Nemapogoninae is reviewed in Korea, with four species. The genus comprises approximately 70 named speices. Some species of the genus Nemapogon Schrank, 1802 (N. granella, N. cloacella, and N. variatella) are well known as storage pests and distributed worldwide (Gaedike, 2000). The larvae of these moths feed on stored food such as cereals, flour, and dried mushrooms (Robinson and Nielsen, 1993). In Korea, the genus Nemapogon have been reported only one species up to date (Byun et al., 2009), with Nemapogon granella (Linnaeus, 1758). In this study, three additional species of the genus Nemapogon Schrank is reported for the first time in Korea. The adults are briefly described and illustrated, including adults genitalia.

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.

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.

Cambodia covers an area of 181,035 sq km among them, forests cover 53 percent. As a tropical monsoon climate, average annual rainfall is about 1,400 mm(about 55 in) on the central plain and increases to as much as 3,800 mm (150 in) in the mountains and along the coast. The average annual temperature is about 27°C (about 80°F). There are many wildlife diversity in Cambodia, but regulated or unregulated logging and mining have diminished the country's wildlife rapidly. This expedition was conducted three times in 2009 (7.2-7.11, 10.16-22, 12.25-12.30). Central Cadamon Protected Forest (N 11° 41' 13" E 103° 26' 31.3") and Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area (N 12° 08' 20.8", E 106° 55' 2.7") were main area surveyed by pitfall trap, light trap and sweeping etc. As the result, totally 611 individuals of 11 families in Coleoptera was collected, among them Gonocephalumspecies of Tenebrionidae was highest number and species in Melonthidae, Chrysomelidae and Dynastidae etc., were collected, specially kind of Hydrophilidae species from wetland was surved in the expedition.
