Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the species composition in the plastic greenhouse bed for cultivation of cucumber in June 2006. Four genera and seven species found are as follows: Aporrectodea trapezoides (Duges 1828), Aporrectodea tuberculata (Eisen 1874), Bimastos parvus (Eisen 1874), Amynthas koreanus (Kobayashi 1938), Amynthas corticis (Kinberg 1867), Amynthas hupeiensis (Michaelsen 1895), and Drawida japonica (Michaelsen 1892). Of them, Amynthas koreanus is Korean endemic species. Their descriptions are provided including photographs.
