The genus Muscidideicus Becker, 1917 is comprised of only one species, M. praetextatus (Haliday, 1855) reported in west Palearctic region. The adults were typically found on sandy beach within the intertidal zone. In the survey of Korean fauna, authors found three new to science species of this genus on the west sea side of Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island. Descriptions and figures of external features of new to science species and key to species of the world are provided here.

The genus Helictes is a small group of the subfamily Orthocentrinae, comprising 11 species from worldwide, most species from the Palaearctic region, four species from the Nearctic, and two species from the Neotropical region. This subfamily is wide morphological variation between genera but most are readily recognizable as orthocentrines. They are generally small sized, clypeus strongly convex and malar space long. Among them, this genus is reported for the first time from South Korea. In this study, description, photographs of diagnostic characterists are provided.

The Miltogramminae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) includes 600 species divided into more than 40 genera. The biological feature of the miltogrammine species is being kleptoparasites in the nests of solitary wasps and bees, but insect parasitoids and termite inquilines have been also recorded. In Korea, only three species in two genera have been recorded. In this study, five unrecorded species (Amobia oculata, Metopia inermis, Metopia nudibasis, Miltogramma angustifrons and Phylloteles formosana) are reported for the first time in Korea. The diagnosis, photographs and checklists are provided herein.

Six new species are described that are members of the New Zealand endemic genus Adalmus Reitter (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Euplectitae: Trichonychini: Panaphantina): A. bullerensis sp. nov., A. kanierensis sp. nov., A. karekarensis sp. nov., A. mangamukaensis sp. nov., A. puberilumbus sp. nov., and A. serrilumbus sp. nov. In addition, Dalmisus Sharp is placed as a junior synonym of Adalmus (gen. syn.) and the species Dalmisus batrisodes Sharp, 1886, Plectomorphus longiceps Broun, 1913 and P. longipes Broun, 1912 are placed as junior synonyms of A. velutinus Reitter, 1885 spp. syn. Also, P. rugiceps Broun, 1921 is transferred to the genus Adalmus, comb. nov. Adalmus now holds eight species.

The family Ptiliidae, also called featherwing beetle because of their remarkable feather-like hind wings, is group of the smallest beetles, with their body size generally about 1 mm long. Although more than 1,000 valid ptiliids within approximately 100 genera are distributed worldwide, this family remains one of the least understood beetle groups in Korea. In this study, we introduce 13 known Korean ptiliids species within seven genera and additional some unknown species. All available information about Korean ptiliids, including their natural histories, distributional data, and diagnostic characters are provided.

The genus Conicera Meigen is a group of necrophagous phorid flies mostly associated with carrion, including C. tibialis, commonly known as the “coffin fly” that breeds in buried corpses. In this study, specimens of the Conicera species collected from South Korea are examined morphologically on the basis of characteristics on male antennae, sensory organ on midfemora, and left and right surstyli on hypopygium. As a result, five species, viz. C. dauci, C. gracilis, C. orientalis, C. pacifica, C. quadrata are newly recorded from South Korea. Photographs of diagnostic characters, a distribution map and a key to males of South Korean species are provided.

Family Nolidae has not much been treated as noticeable pest. In other countries, there are some pest species like Garella musculana (Erschoff, 1874), Uraba lugens Walker, 1866, and Earias insulana (Boisduval, 1833), but those are not reported in Korea. Recently, the occurrence of a nolid species, Meganola major (Hampson, 1894) has been increasing, especially in Jeollanam-do Prov. This species is mainly distributed in Indian subregion and Southeast Asia, but also East Asia reported, but until now, there are no outbreak information. Neverthereless, recent outbreak might be lead by global warming, and their growth stage. This seems to be evidence of the potential outbreak risk of nolid moths, but unfortunately, their ecology is not mostly well-studied. In this discussion, we are focusing on the potential outbreak of nolid moths in East Asiatic and Oriental regions.

최근 한국에서 창작된 뮤지컬들을 볼 때 클래식 음악 분야의 작곡가나 연주자를 주인공으로 하 는 뮤지컬이 제작되고 있다. 본 논문은 공연예술의 문화예술이론인 사전지식, 탐색과 활용, 현존 성과 라이브니스 그리고 원 소스 멀티 유즈 전개방식에 근거하여 최근 한국에서 제작된 『파리넬 리』, 『살리에르』, 『라흐마니노프』, 『루드윅:베토벤 더 피아노』 그리고 『파가니니』의 분 석하였다. 이러한 창작 뮤지컬에 대한 분석을 통해 소재적 활용에 있어서 기존 클래식 음악의 친 밀감과 창작곡들이 융합된 뮤지컬의 유형을 정립하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 연구 결과로 사전지 식과 탐색과 활용적 측면에서 이미 알고 있거나 음악적 경험 있는 연주자나 작곡가들을 소재로 한 창작 뮤지컬들은 새로이 각색되고 창작된 극적 전개라도 관객들의 흥미를 높일 수 있으며 최근 들어 이러한 뮤지컬들은 무대에서 실제로 배우가 연주하는 고전적인 라이브니스를 높이는 경향이 있었다. 클래식 음악을 실제 연주를 하며 주인공의 삶을 재조명하는 독창적인 이야기로 뮤지컬은 제작함은 관객들의 선호도와 몰입도를 높일 수 있으며 이러한 유형의 뮤지컬은 새로운 형태로 분 류될 수 있다.
