본 연구에서는 분류학적 실체에 대해 많은 논쟁이 있어왔던 황철나무와 물황철나무의 분류학적 재검토를 통해 두 분류군의 유연관계를 밝히기 위하여 엽형질과 미세형질들을 분석하였다. 엽의 크기를 암·수 구분 없이 전체 평균 너비, 길이, 면적으로 비교한 결과 종간 및 종내 모두 1%에서 고도의 유의차가 검증되었고, 황철나무는 55.56 mm, 73.5 mm, 28.72 mm2, 물황철나무는 76.80 mm, 117.82 mm, 68.61 mm2로 측정되어 황철나무의 엽 생장은 물황철나무에 비해 작은 것으로 나타났다. 황철나무의 엽병과 엽맥에는 털이 발견되지 않았지만 물황철나무의 엽병과 엽맥에는 양면 모두 털이 밀생하였다. 성숙한 황철나무의 삭과는 3개로 갈라지며 동일한 시기에 물황철나무는 4개로 갈라지는 것으로 확인되었다. 조사된 형질을 종합한 결과, 황철나무와 물황철나무의 종간 분류에 중요한 정보를 주는 요인으로는 잎의 크기와 삭과가 터지는 유형, 엽병 털의 유무 등이 있었다.

Family Tineidae, belongs to the superfamily Tineoidea, with about 2,500 described species belong to 450 genera, and 16 subfamilies all over the world (Robinson, 2009). Classification of this family studied by Zagulyaev (1972), Robinson (1988), Davis & Robinson (1998), Nieukerken et al. (2011), and Regier et al. (2015), etc. The family was reported 33 species belonging to 19 genera of eight subfamilies in Korea up to date (Paek et al., 2010; Park et al., 2012; Byun et al., 2014; Lee et al., 2016; 2017a; 2017b; 2018). In this study, a total of 42 species belonging to 22 genera of nine subfamilies are recognized in Korea. Among them seven species are reported from Korea for the first time, and two species are described new to science.

주머니나방과(Psychidae)는 곡식좀나방상과 (Tineoidea)에 속하며 전 세계적으로 241속 1,350종이 분포하는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 이들은 유충시기에 주머니를 만들고 그 속에서 사는 독특한 생활방식과 단순한 암컷의 외부형태 특징 등으로 인해 생태 및 계통학적 연구가 다양하게 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 수행된 한국산 주머니나방 과의 분류학적 연구결과를 소개하고 근연분류군에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

가는나방과(Family Gracillariidae)는 나비목 가는나방상과(Superfamily Gracillarioidea)에 속하는 분류군으로 날개 편 길이가 평균 4-16mm의 작은 나방류이다. 이들은 전 세계적으로 106속 2,000여종이 극지방을 제외한 모든 지역에 분포하고 있으며 미소나방류 중에서도 종 다양성이 높은 그룹 중 하나이다. 특히 가는나방과는 유충 시기에 잎에 굴을 파고 들어가 그 속에서 생활을 하는 독특한 생태 특성을 가지고 있어 방제가 어렵고, 향후 기후 및 환경변화로 인해 해충으로 대발생의 가능성이 높은 분류군이다. 현재까지 가는나방과의 많은 종들이 과수 및 농업해충으로 보고되어 있으며 이에 따라 생태학 및 해충학적 측면과 더불어 계통분류학적 연구가 필요한 분류군이다. 본 연구에서는 한국산 가는나방과의 분류학적 연구를 통해 이들의 국내분포를 밝히고, 연구현황 및 향후 연구계획에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

나비목은 나비류와 나방류 합친 분류군으로 전 세계적으로 20만여종이 알려져 있는 거대 동물군 중 하나이다. 이들은 다양한 생태적 특성과 행동양식을 가지고 있어 다양한 연구가 이루어져 오고 있다. 우리나라에서는 1900년대 초반부터 서양인에 의해 분포연구가 시작된 이래 현재까지 3,867종이 기록되어 있으며 이는 우리나라 전체 곤충 종의 22%정도에 해당된다. 그러나 종합적인 계통학적 연구나 응용분야에 활용을 위해서는 아직까지 연구가 미진한 분류군도 있어 이들에 대한 집중적인 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서의 나비목 분류연구현황을 살펴보고 향후 연구가 필요한 분류군과 연구분야를 제시하고자 한다.

Pseudisobrachium is one of the biggest genera with 190 species from the world including one extinct species from France. In Korea, only one species, P. koreana Lim, has been recorded. The ecological information of Pseudisobrachium is poorly studied, however, it was recorded that Pseudisobrachium species are found associated with various ants in several previous studies. As results of taxonomy studies on the Korean bethylids, a new species of Pseudisobrachium is discovered based on one female specimen which was collected from Cheongsong county (Gyeongbuk province) by Malaise trap in 2008. This is the first record of female of the genus in Korea. A taxonomic discussion on the genus Pseudisobrachium, diagnosis and diagnostic characteristics of the new species are provided.

A taxonomic review of Atheta Thomson subgenus Atheta Thomson in the Korean Peninsula is presented. The subgenus is represented in Korea by eight species including two new species: A. (A.) prolixa Lee & Ahn, sp. nov. and A. (A.) vegrandis Lee & Ahn, sp. nov. Atheta (A.) sauteri Bernhauer is reported for the first time in South Korea. A key, habitus photographs and illustrations of the diagnostic characters are provided.

The genus Eriosoma Leach, 1818 belonging to the subfamily Eriosomatinae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) includes 46 species in the world. The genus is mostly distributed in the Holarctic and Oriental regions. Most of the species in the genus form leaf-roll galls on Ulmus species. Until now, there are few studies about the genus on the morphological taxonomy in Korea. Up to date, seven species of the genus have been recorded from Korea. In the present study, a total of nine species of the genus is revised. Among them, two species, Eriosoma alabastrum Pashtshenko, 1988 and Eriosoma ulmi ulmi (Linnaeus, 1758), were discovered for the first time in Korea. We provide a key to the Korean species and full redescriptions in detail.

The leafhopper subfamily Deltocephalinae are the biggest group belonging to the Cicadellidae. Deltocephalinae consists of 38 tribes, 923 genera, and 6,683 valid species in worldwide. The genus Scaphoideus Uhler of the subfamily is the largest genus of the tribe Scaphoideini with two subgenera and comprised about 160 species found in the world. Some of Scaphoideus species are serious pests and vectors of phytoplasma such as Scaphoideus titanus, S. luteolus. In this talk, the leafhopper genus Scaphoideus from Korea peninsula is reviewed with one new species and one new recorded species. Additionally, morphological information and descriptions of genitalia, and a key to the species of Scaphoideus are provided.

Their host plants are known as grasses, deciduous tree and conifers. Taxonomic study of Lachninae has been dealt with some authors in several countries, whereas it has rarely performed in the Korean Peninsula after Lee et al. (1994). Here, we review the subfamily Lachninae from the Korean Peninsula, focusing on its taxonomic history and diversity.

Eurytomidae Walker, 1832 are relatively medium-sized group in the superfamily Chalcidoidea with approximately 1600 species of three subfamilies and 73 valid genera. In Palearctic region, more than 600 species have been recorded, and only 11 species are recorded in South Korea. In this presentation, we report 21 eurytomid species including one subfamily, three genera and 10 species new to South Korea.

Xyrosaris Meyrick, 1907 is a small genus of the family Yponomeutidae, established by Meyrick (1907) for its type species Xyrosaris dyropa Meyrick, 1907. A total of nine species were recognized in the world. Most of species of the genus have been described by Meyrick at the early 20th century. Up to date, X. lichneuta Meyrick, 1918 has been reported from Korea. In the present study, we review the genus Xyrosaris from Korea, with two new species: X. sp.1 and X. sp.2. Key to species, illustrations of adult, male and female genitalia, diagnosis and short description are provided.

The family Thyrididae was known as a small group comprising 940 species in the world (Nieukerken et al, 2011). In Korea, the first report of the family was made by Park (1983) with four species. Later, 10 species of 4 genera was enumerated by several researchers (Park & Byun, 1990; Choi, 2005). The typical characteristics of the family Thyrididae is a window-like transparent pattern of wings. Some species in the family are classified as insect pest species (Jo, 1995). Thus, it is important to study the group for the applied fields. In this study, the reveiw of the family Thyrididae in Korea was conducted. All available materials was examined and illustrated. Also the collecting localities, illustrations of adults and genitalia are provided.

The genus Archips is a large group of the family Tortricidae, which includes 136 species in the world. In Korea, 17 species of the genus Archips have been reported up to date. The genus has difficulty in morphological classification with the species because of the sexual dimorphism between male and female. However, the study of the genus Archips with the morphological differences of both sexes has not been studied in Korea. Also, some species are known to pests of agricultural and ornamental plants. In this study, adult and genitalic structure are examined and illustrated. Also, the distributional ranges and collecting localities are provided. And the additional molecular data is necessary because of the ambiguous external characters. So, the result of the DNA barcoding were added.
