Six species of the Pristocerinae are recognized from Korea, including two new species (Pseudisobrachium sp. nov., Parascleroderma sp. nov.), and four species new to Korea (Acrepyris minutus (Yasumatsu 1955), Apenesia elegans Terayama 1999, A. okinawensis Terayama 1999, and Pristocera formosana Miwa et Sonan 1935). The illustrations of diagnostic characters are presented with a key to species of Korean Pristocerinae is provided.

A total of 12 species in six genera of the poneromorph subfamilies group in Korea was reviewed. All investigated specimens are classified into three subfamilies, Amblyoponinae, Proceratinae and Ponerinae. Totally six genera were known and Cryptopone, Hypoponera, Pachycondyla and Ponera belong to the subfamily Ponerinae and Amblyopone and Proceratium belongs to the subfamily Amblyoponinae and Proceratinae respectively. In this study, keys to the all known genera and species of the subfamilies in Korea are presented. A synonymic list, description of a worker and comments on each species are given with SEM photographs of worker.

The mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea are of worldwide distribution, and invariably associated with plants. They are extremely small in size with average 200 ㎛ of adult body length ranging from 80 to 500 ㎛, and thus often invisible to the naked eyes without noticeable deformation and/or injury on the host plants. Their general appearance is rather worm-like, with an elongated and transversely annulated opisthosoma, and with only 2 pairs of legs having a empodial featherclaw instead of paired true claws. The extremely small size and secret habits of eriophyoid mites cause them to be ignored or overlooked, and make them little understood and appreciated, although they are obligatory plant feeding mites being distributed in most botanical biosphere of the world. Nevertheless, some species are of considerable economic significance as the tomato russet mite (Aculops lycopersici), Citrus rust mite (Aculops pelekassi), pear leaf rust mite (Phyllocoptes pyrivagrans), Castanopsis witches’ broom mite (Aceria kadonoi), Retusa fringe tree malformation mite (Aceria sp.) calls for a greater awareness of them in Korea. Besides, the eriophyoid mites from ornamental trees get to known to public, since the trees are planted along a street. Information on eriophyoid mites in Korea is often difficult to obtain. This was mainly due to the lack of taxonomic works done in Korea. Furthermore, some records on eriophyoid mites are not taxonomically based but just adopted neighboring countries’ records. Their original descriptions are frequently inadequate with focusing on the ecological aspects rather than taxonomic ones. So, some species including Aceria species from Lycium chinensis, in the light of recent knowledge of eriophyoid taxonomy, should be renamed and reclassified. Until now, more than 38 species in 17 genera of the family Eriophyidae have been reported in Korea, which is still relatively small number compared with those in neighboring countries; China (197 spp., in 60 gen), Japan (47 spp., in 19 gen), and Taiwan (75 spp., in 41 gen). Furthermore, none of the other families (Phytoptidae and Diptilomiopidae) have known yet. There is little doubt that more species await discovery in Korea. Considering the geographic distribution patterns, only 7 species among 38 species of Korean eriophyids are endemic. A total of 23 Korean eriophyid species are shared with Japan, 12 species with China, 5 species with Taiwan, 7 species with Russia, and 19 species with USA. It shows that the Korean eriophyid fauna seems to be similar to the Japanese fauna zoogeographically, and more cooperation between Japanese and Korean taxonomists is continuously needed in the eriophyoid field. On the other hand, more endemic and taxonomically important species are expected to be found in the Korean peninsular, since the eriophyoid mites is highly host specific and Korean peninsular is one of the most interesting areas with intense speciation processes. The upland and mountainous landscape (constituting 80% of the peninsula) favours the existence of multiple isolated habitats. The Korean peninsula is characterised by a high level of endemism among the species of higher vascular plants. Out of 2,898 plant species 407 are endemics (14%), including 224 endemic species in the southern and 107 endemic species in the northern part of the peninsula.

Genus Hellinsia Tutt, 1905 is the largest group of the tribe Oidaematophorini (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae, Platyptilinae). The genus is mostly distributed in the Neotropical region and Nearctic region, and partly in the Palaearctic and Afrotripical regions, with more than 190 described species from all over the world (Gielis, 2003). Among them, approximately 30 species of the genus Hellinsia Tutt have been reported in the Palaeartic region, including 9 species of Japan, 14 of Russia, and 15 of China. However, it has been poorly known from Korea to date, with only 4 known species: 2 species (H. lienigianus (Zeller) and H. distinctus (Herrich-Schffer) from South Korea (Park 1993, 1994) and 2 species (Hellinsia albidactylus (Yano) and H. lateolus (Yano)) from North Korea (Arenberger, 1991). This study is aimed to review all known species of the genus Helinsia Tutt in the Korean Peninsula, with three previously unrecorded species: Hellinsia ishiyamanus (Matsumura), H. Kuwayamai (Matsumura), and H. nigridactyla (Yano). Material examined in this study are preserved in the Insect collection, Korea National Arboretum, Korea. Consequently, 7 species, in total, are recorded from the Korean Peninsula.

Cystoderma list of the species found in Korea is composed of 6 species(Lee & Lee 2000). Cystoderma in Korea is Cystoderma amiaanthinum, Cystoderma carcharias, Cystoderma fallax, Cystoderma granulosum, Cystoderma japonicum and Cystoderma terreii. As the member of Lepiotaceae, Cystoderma belongs under Eumycotina, Basidiomycotina, Eubasidimycotina, Hymenomycetidiae, and Agaricales. Its outer pileus of Cystoderma is serrate radially, a small scale is scattered its peridium. And stipe has a small annulus attached to it. spores is subspore or fusiform, white and it has pseudoamyloid. Each shape, size, shine and quility of fruiting body of Cystoderma is different in the breed and it is important sources of a classification of Cystoderma. Especially, the shapes and colors of various scaly which are on the surface of the fungus are important to the external classification.

The tortricid moths genus Cydia Hübner includes many species of economic importance due to the damage they inflict on agricultural crops, especially fruit and nut trees. Some Cydia species are an important food source for other animals, and some have been used as agents of biological control. Cydia species are generally small dull brown moths with yellow or white wormlike larvae. This group was defined by the combination of the following characters: Apical segment porrect; forewing apex rounded; M2 and M3 sub-parallel; hindwing M3 separate CuA1; uncus absent; socius rounded; corpus bursae with two segnum, like hook-shape; ductus bursae sclerotized. In this study, the Korean species of genus Cydia are reviewed. A total of 10 species are recognized. Among them, two species are newly recorded from Korea for the first time. Adults and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated. Distribution map, data matrix, cladistic analysis are provided. Also illustration of adults, venations, male and female genitalia are provided.

A total of 12 genera, 37 species in the subfamily Eumeninae was recognized from the insect collection of several universities and institute in Korea (Seoul National University, Kangwon National University, National institute of Agricultural Science & Tech.). In 2007, 13 species in 9 genera were collected throughout the country by sweeping net and bamboo nest traps. Among them, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum koreanum (86 specimens), Discoelius zonalis (29 specimens), and Euodynerus dantici (20 specimens) were most dominant. One species (Stenodynerus sp.) was confirmed as new to science. Using the bamboo nest traps, 7 species of Eumenid wasps were collected and the larvae of Gelechids and Pyralids were confirmed as the prey of Discoelius zonalis and Anterhynchium flavomarginatum koreanum, respectively.
