A ricanid planthopper, sometimes so called Ricania shantungensis, has been regarded as a serious invasive pest in Korean peninsula. It belongs to family Ricaniidae comprised of 40 genus and more than 400 species worldwide, and only 6 species recognized in Korea. The invasive planthopper has a wide host range including economic agricultural crops such as apple, peach and pear. In the meantime to investigate natural enemies for biological control, we have found an egg parasitoid. In this study, we report a new species of genus Phanuromyia, an egg parasitoid of the ricanid planthopper. Morphological characteristics of male and female are described in detail with high resolution images.

The genus Diadegma is a well-known parasitoid group and some are known to have symbiotic virus so called polydnavirus (PDV, more specifically Ichnovirus, IV). The presence of the IV in the Diadegma species a has already been identified more than a decade ago. Previously we reported a DfIV, 62 genomic segments, 247kb from D. fenestrale which parasitized wide range of lepidopteran species (Generalist). However, DsIV from D. semiclausum which parasitized in the P. xylostella (Specialist) has 48 genomic segments, 208kb. Finally, 123 ORFs were re-annotated (repeat element protein, 41; cysteine motif protein, 11; viral innexin, 6; viral ankyrin, 8; polar residue rich protein, 7; N gene, 3; Neuromodulin protein, 2 and not assigned gene, 45). DsIV also have most of lepidopteran immunosuppression gene families and 103 ORFs annotated (repeat element protein, 36; cysteine motif protein, 8; viral innexin, 7; viral ankyrin, 6; polar residue rich protein, 7; N gene, 3; and not assigned gene, 36). Certainly, although viral species specific segments exists, two IVs showed high similarity in most of segments. However DfIV have some more number of that genes such as cysteine motif protein and viral ankyrin. Two Diadegma species also showed difference in mitochondrial genome structure. Therefore we concluded that two species has their own evolutionary linage depending on the lepidopteran hosts with its own symbiotic virus.

Two hymenopteran egg parasitoid species, Gryon japonicum (Ashmead) (Scelionidae) and Ooencyrtus nezarae Ishii (Encyrtidae), were emerged from eggs of bean bug, Riptortus clavatus Thunberg (Heteroptera: Alydidae). The former parasitoid is first recorded in Korea. Brief morphological and biological characteristics, and parasitism on R. clavatus eggs are described.

Three new species of aphid parasitoids and their host-plant associations are described: Pauesia koraiensis Stary(Cinara cembrae Inouye and C. sp. on Pinus koreaiensis), Pauesia holmani Stary(Cinara sp. and C. watanabei Inouye on Pinus koraiensis, and C. laricis Hartig on larix olgensis) and Pauesia gwangleungensis Stary(Cinara shinjii Inouye on Pinus parviflora).
