The mirine plant bug genus Paramiridius, which has been known only by a single Taiwanese species, is reported from Indochinese Laos for the first time and redefined. Two additional species, P. indochinensis and P. laomontanus, are described as new to science. The female genitalic structures are from the first time figured for the genus. A key is provided for all three known Paramiridius species.

In the present study, Cydia kamijoi Oku is newly recognized in korean insect fauna. This tortricid moth was first found damaging the cones of Abies koreana in Jeju Island 2014. The moth can be a serious insect pest on A. koreana because of high damage rate on the cones, up to 71% average. The genus Cydia now was 11 korean species including C. kamijoi. Regarding this species, some basic information such as collection records, morphological characters, and ecology were provided

The genus Halectinosoma Vervoort, 1962 is first reported from Korean waters by the discovery of H. perforatum Itô, 1981. This species, previously recorded only from Japan, is collected from the sandy beach on the south coast of Korea, and is well distinguished from other congeners by the combination of following morphological characteristics: the elongate caudal ramus; the remarkably bilobated exopod of female P5; the small innermost seta on the distal margin of female P5 exopod; the presence of three setae on the distal exopodal segment in P4; and the presence of scale-like spinules on the ventral surfaces of urosomite. We herein provide detailed description and illustrations of this species.

Despite the worldwide distributions of genus Lepidepecreum and the previous reports from China and Japan, this genus has not yet been recorded in Korean waters. In this study, Korean materials of lysianassid amphipods are assigned readily to the genus Lepidepecreum and identified as L. vitjazi Gurjanova, 1962 based on the following features: well-developed dorsal keels of the pleonite 3 and urosimite 1; unconcaved palmer margin of ganthopod 1; hooked locking spines of propodus on pereopods 3 and 4; and the shape of coxa 4. We also provide the description and illustrations of this species.

A new species of the genus Ebrechtella Dahl, Ebrechtella juwangensis n. sp. and the male of Ozyptila geumoensis Seo and Sohn, 1997 are reported new to science. Ozyptila utotchkini Marusik, 1990 is reported for the first time in Korea. Habitus photos and illustrations of these three species are provided.

The goniadid species, Glycinde bonhourei Gravier, 1904, is newly reported with the description and illustration from Korean waters. Our Korean materials of G. bonhourei have the following characteristics that are generally known as distinctive features from its congeners: the area II-1 on proboscis possesses unidentate papillae bearing broad base; the area IV on proboscis bears the papillae of duct’s foot-shaped with rounded teeth; the area V on proboscis has straightly conical papillae bearing slightly bifid tip; 4-16 micrognaths are arranged on the dorsal side; all parapodia have one neuropodial presetal lobe; uniramous parapodia are present on 19-26 anterior segments. As a result of the present study, the genus Glycinde is newly reported from Korean waters.

Recently in the course of examining Korean diptera, we found a species, Atrichopogon femoralis Tokunaga placed in the subfamily Forcipomyinae Meigen. Forcipomyinae is most specious in the family Ceratogonidae, and comprise about 5,566 extant species placed in 103 genera in four subfamilies (Borkent and Wirth, 1997) from almost all the zoogeographic regions. Genus Atrichopogon is second largest genus, with about 520 species (Borkent, 2012). Currently 39 valid species of 6 genera belonging to 3 subfamily are known in Korea. The specimens were collected from intermountain area and reservoir of Chungcheongnam-do, Cheonan-si, and Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongju-si by black light trap (BLT) in 2013. We report an occurrence Atrichopogon femoralis Tokunaga for the first time in Korea, and of which diagnosis, description, distribution and photo images are presented. For further researches, we also provide a key to genera of Korean Ceratopogonidae.

We report Conilepia nigricosta (Leech, 1988) in Korea for the first time. The female of C. nigricosta is nearly identical to the female of Lithosia quadra, and it has caused confusion in the generic classification. Therefore, we reexamined their morphology and also performed to analyze DNA barcode region compared with species of other related genera. As the results, the significant diagnoses between the two species were reconfirmed and provided in the adult appearances, wing venations, and genital structures in both sexes. The DNA barcoding results also showed a large genetic distance ranging from 6.21% to 7.16% between the two species. In phylogenetic relationship for these two species as well as 28 related species of Lithosiina, C. nigricosta was clustered as a sister to L. quadra and they formed a strong monophyletic group. It supports a possibility that these two genera may be a single genus, but more detailed molecular analysis using additional genetic markers and samples is needed to resolve reliable phylogenetic relationships between the taxa examined in this study.

This is the first record of endoparasitic Hymenoptera Apanteles galleriae recorded from Apis cerana colonies in Korea. A simple rearing protocol was established to allow the morphology, mating behavior and infestation rate of A galleriae. In total, 55 lesser wax moth fresh cocoons were kept in the tissue culture test plate at room temperature (25.6 ± 1.5˚C, RH 21 ± 3.7%). The females were 3.4 ± 0.3 longer than male 3.3 ± 0.2. The male antenna was longer than females. The copulation lasts 24.4 ± 2.4 seconds. The larvae of A. galleriae were pupated inside the cocoons of lesser wax moth. Ninety percent of adults A. galleriae was successfully emerged from the lesser wax moth cocoons. A. galleriae can be used as bio-logical control in store and in live colonies to control lesser wax moth.

The genus Thomsonina is a small group of Proctotrupidae, with two described species in Palaearctic region: T. boops from Europe; T. scymni from Japan. These species are parasitoids of Scymnus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Genus Nothoserphus was erected on the single species N. mirabilis Brues (1940) from Taiwan (Oriental). Since then two genera, Thomsonina Hellén (1941) from Europe (Western-Palaearctic) and Watanabeia Masner (1958) from Japan (Eastern-Palaearctic), proposed and the taxonomy was revised by Townes (1981) who synonymized Thomsonina and Watanabeia, including three species groups (boops- group, afissae-group and mirabilis-group). At present one genus classification Nothoserphus, is universally accepted. But, Masner (1958) suggested that Thomsonina and Watanabeia should be separated in two distinct genera from the Nothoserphus. This is supported by the different characters and biological data. In this study, the Authors are also agree to the Masner’s proposal and first report the genus Thomsonina from South Korea based on T. scymni. Also, we provide comparison of main different characters and host data for three genera.

The superfamily Proctotrupoidea is cosmopolitan and diverse group comprising 11 extant families: Austroniidae, Diapriidae, Heloridae, Maamingidae, Monomachidae, Pelecinidae, Peradeniidae, Proctorenyxidae, Proctotrupidae, Roproniidae, Vanhorniidae. But, Recently a separate superfamily Diaprioidea was recognized to include Diapriidae, Monomachidae and Maamingidae (Sharkey, 2007; Sharkey et al., 2012). Among them, three families are found in South Korea: Heloridae (Choi et al., 2012), Diapriidae (Notton, 1994), Proctotrupidae (Choi et al, 2012; Lee et al., 1988; Lee et al., 2008). Proctorenyxidae Lelej & Kozlov, a very small family of Proctotrupoidea, contains only 2 genera with 2 species in the world: Hsiufuropronia chaoi Yang, 1997 from China; Proctorenyxa incredibilis (Kozlov) from Russian Far East. These are morphologically distinguished from other families of Proctotrupoidea families by the following combination of characteristics: antennal scape very short; vein Rs of fore wing not bifurcated apically; fore wing with pterostigma; gaster with narrow petiole; tergite 8 with two spiracles. And, the biology of this family is completely unknown. Here we report one unrecorded species, Proctorenyxa incredibilis (Kozlov, 1994), for the first time in Korea and provide photographs for the diagnostic characters.

Subfamily Ismarinae traditionally has been belong to the superfamily Proctotrupoidea, family Diapriidae. But recently, Sharkey (2007) has been placed family diapriidae in a separate superfamily of the infraorder Proctrupomorpha, the Diaprioidea, together with the New Zealand endemic Maamingidae and the cosmopolitan and speciose Diapriidae. After, subfamily Ismarinae is raised to family status Ismaridae stat. nov., also included the family Ismaridae within Diaprioidea (sharkey et al. 2011). The superfamily Diaprioidea Haliday, 1833 is a moderate large group of parasitoid wasps. Diaprioidea comprise five families (four extant family: Diapriidae Haliday 1833, Ismaridae Thomson 1858, Maamingidae Early, Masner, Naumann & Austin 2001 and Monomachidae Ashmead 1902; one fossile family Spathiopterygidae Engel & Ortega-Blanco 2013) of generally fairly small wasps, with a total of 2,109 species in the world. Family Ismaridae is a small family contains a single genus and 32 described species in the world and previously unrecorded in Korea. Ismaridae is morphologically distinguished from other families of Diaprioidea by the following combination of characteristics: antennae inserted close to the clypeus; position of toruli that are opening forward (not upward); notauli absent, with mesocutum broadly arched in lateral view; antennal formula 15-14. Also, the biology of this family is very poorly studied, only a few species known as hyperparasitoids of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) through dryinids (Hymenoptera). In this study, A new species, Ismarussp. nov. and one unrecorded species, Ismarus halidayi Foerster 1850, are reported from South Korea. Photographs of diagnostic characters are provided herein.

Earlier, Ceraphronoids group has been belong to the superfamily Proctotrupoidea sensu lato, as polyphyletic group. But, Masner and Dessart (1967) proposed this group as a separate superfamily, Ceraphronoidea to include Ceraphronidae and Megaspilidae. At present Ceraphronoidea comprised of two families with 27 genera and 603 species described worldwide (except fossil family Stigmaphronidae), though a great many species are still undescribed. This group is morphologically distinguished from other Hymenoptera superfamilies by the following combination of characteristics: two protibial spurs present; forewing C+Sc fused, Rs vein upcurved; metasomal segment II large; metasomal spiracles absent. Ceraphronoids are small group of Parasitic Apocrita of Hymenoptera. They majority are endoparasitoids of a wide range of insects under Diptera, Homoptera (superfamily Coccoidea), Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera and Thysanoptera. However, Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenopera, Neuroptera, Orthoptera, Heteroptera, spider eggs, and ticks are also attacked. And some species are hyperparasitoids of aphidiinae braconids. Ceraphronoidea has been studied in South Korea mainly by Paik (1994). He recognized the presence of only four species in Megaspilidae as follows: Dendrocerus carpenteri (Curtis, 1826), D. longispinus (Yasumatus & Moritsu, 1947), D. pupparum (De geer, 1776) and D. remicornis (Boheman, 1832). As a result of this study, 2 families and 2 genera of Ceraphronoidea, Ceraphron in Ceraphronidae, Conostigmus in Megaspilidae are recognized in South Korea. Also, above one family Ceraphronidae and all genera are newly recorded for the first time. We provide comparison of important diagnostic characters with two families and color photographs.

The genus of Stomaphis (Aphididae: Lachninae) is stem or root feeding aphid on trees and can be easily distinguished in having the very long rostrum which extends beyond the length of body. Most of species are monoecious holocyclic without host alternation and attended by ants. Based on body appearance and COI gene sequence, we report a Stomaphis betulidahuricae Zhang and Qio, 1999 (Aphididae: Lachninae) for the first time in Korea, on Carpinus cordata Bl., C. laxiflora Bl., and Acer palmatum Thunb.

 ,  , A taxonomic review of Bolitotrogus kurosonis Miyatake 1964 is presented. B. kurosonis is a fungivorous tenebrionid beetle and is a rare inhabitant of fungi on deciduous trees (Quercus, Carpinus laxiflora, etc.) in Korea. Sporophores of Inonotus mikadoi (Lloyd) Imaz. was the obligate feeding and breeding sites for this species in Jeju-do. A description, an additional key to the Korean Bolitophagini, fungal host, photographs of adult, and illustrations of diagnostic characteristics are provided.

The subfamily Acaenitinae Foerster, 1869 is a small-sized group belonging to the family Ichneumonidae. It includes 250 species in 26 genera from Ethiopian, Oriental, and Palaearctic region. However, only 14 species of six genera, Arotes, Coleocentrus, Jezarotes, Phaenolobus, Spilopteron and Yamatarotes have been reported from Korea. This subfamily can be easily recognized from other ichneumonids by the combination of the following characters: subgenital plate very elongate; tarsal claws with accessory tooth. Members of Acaenitinae are parasitoids of wood-boring Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera. Among them, some of parasitoids of Cerambycidae are known as intermediate carrier of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae). In this study of the Korean Acaenitinae, we found the genus Yezoceryx from Korea for the first time, including newly recorded two species, Y. sp.1 and Y. sp.2. We provide description of the genus and two species with a key to the Korean genera of the subfamily Acaenitinae.
