Aporia crataegi, an Korean endangered species, was first analyzed for DNA barcode sequences based on 28-year-old dried specimens and compared barcode characters with 36 individuals of ten geographical populations of Eurasia. They were revealed to consist of five different haplotypes. Among them, haplotype I was mostly extensive and high frequency with 75%. The south Korean individuals were confirmed to be belonging to haplotype I and have no genetic isolation on COI gene. By these results, we consider that selection of the identical haplotype from other geographical populations may be a requirement prior to performing for conservation and restoration of the Korean population. We also propose to analyse the additional genetic markers in order to understand a more accurate genetic structures between haplotypes of this species.

An preliminary study was made with special references on the insect fauna of Mt. Gyeryong during the period from mid-May to mid-September 1981. The results were obtained as follows; 1. 673 species of insects within 156 families of 20 orders were identified and listed herewith. 2. The 16 species are first records from Korea : Phaneraptera nigro-antennata (Tettigoniidae : Orthop.), Phraraortes kumamotoensis(Phasmidae : Phasm.), Nesogaster lewisi (Nesogasteridae : Dermap), Polymerus palustris(Miridae : Hemip.), Agrosteomela indica (Chrysomelidae:Col.), Monochimus sparsutus (Cermbicidae : Col.), Oberthiiria ialcigera (Bombycidae: Lep.), Alcis albiiera (Geometridae : Lep.), Proplepsis diazama (G eometridae : Lep.) Pandemis cinnamomeana (Tortricidae : Lep.), Hypenodes squalida (Noctuidae : Lep.), Hypolimnas bolina (Nymphalidae : Lep.), Ctenophora nohirae (Tipulidae: Dip.), Ortalotrypeta isshiki (Trypetidaedae : Dip.), Trypeta artemisicola (Trypetidae : Dip.), Ichneumom 8-guttatus ( Ichneumonidae : Hymenop.). 3. We could find a considerable number of Oriental fauna species, Lepismachilis nipponica, Nezara antennata, Parapolybia varia, Anthophora zonata, Parnara guttata, Byasa alcinous, Eurema laeta, Pieris canidia, Eizera maha, Kaniska canace, Danaus sita including two newly recorded species, Monochimus sparstus and Hypolimnas bolina.

Pollination is an important ecosystem service involved in plant breeding and reproduction. This study analyzed the pollination network, which is the interaction between flowering plants and flower-visiting insects in the agricultural landscape. Flower-visiting insects from blossoms of flowering crops and surrounding plants were quantitatively surveyed during summer time. The pollinator species and abundance on each flowering plant were analyzed. A total of 2,381 interactions were indentified with 154 pollinators on 30 species of plants. Species richness of the pollinators was highest in Coleoptera (34%) followed by Hymenoptera (28%), Diptera (28%) and Lepidoptera (10%). Apis mellifera dominated (50%) followed by Calliphora vomitoria (5.3%) and Xylocopa appendiculata among pollinators, and remaining wild pollinators provided complex interaction. Among plants, Platycodon grandiflorum, Perilla frutescen and Fagopyrum esculentum harbored most pollinators and showed highest interaction frequencies. In the modular analysis, Apis mellifera was located as a hub-species which connect the interaction of others, implying most important role in the network. This results provide the basic information on the pollinator species associated with each crop and pollinator habitat in which plant provide the nectar, pollen and habitat resources for wild pollinators.

Stenomacrus deletus (Thomson, 1897), belonging to Orthocentrinae of Ichneumonidae, is newly recognized in South Korea. Most Stenomacrus species are known as koinobiont endoparasitoids of dipteran, lepidopteran, and coleopteran hosts. In this study, an additional species is recorded for the first time from South Korea. Diagnoses of genus and an unrecorded species, as well as illustrations of this species are provided.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of insects diversity and host plants from 1998 to 2001 after the construction of an insect park in Suwon in Korea. After the construction in 1997 the insect species and populations have been increased yearly to date. A total of 343 species out of 138 families of 11 orders was surveyed at the park from April to November in 2001. The number of species increased from April to July and showed a peak in June. Coleoptera was a dominant order, and Dolichus halensis (Schaller) of Coleoptera, Artogeia rapae (Linne) of Lepidoptera, and Liorhyssus hyaalinus (Fabricius) of Hemiptera were dominant species.

Four Bacillus thuringiensis isolates obtained from soil samples in Korea produce parasporal inclusions non-toxic to 10 insect species of three orders, Lepidopera, Diptera and Coleoptera. These four isolates are named NTB-1, NTB-2, NTB-3 and NTB-4, respectively. The morphology of parasporal inclusions of four isolates observed by phase contrast- and scanning electron microscope was all ovoid. Characterization of four non-toxic B. thuringiensis isolates was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and restriction endonuclease analysis. The results showed that parasporal inclusion proteins and total plasmid DNA profiles of four isolates are different from other known non-toxic B. thuringiensis strains', suggesting that four isolates are novel.

옥수수를 재배할 때 가장 문제가 되는 해충은 조명나방(Ostrinia furnacalis)이다. 조명나방은 나비목 포충나방과에 속하는 곤충으로 유럽과 아메리카, 아프리카 대륙을 제외한 여러 지역에 분포하는데, 국내에서는 1924년 처음 기록되었다. 먹이로는 외떡잎식물인 옥수수, 수수, 조, 율무뿐만 아니라 피망과 같은 쌍떡잎식물도 있어 기주식물 범위가 넓은 해충으로 알려져 있다. 애벌레가 먹이식물의 줄기와 열매 속으로 파고 들어가 안에서 먹는데, 옥수수에는 잎, 줄기, 수꽃과 암술, 열매의 겉과 속에 구멍을 내어 피해를 준다. 외부에 노출되지 않고 식물의 안쪽에서 생활하는 곤충으로 관리하기에 어려운 점이 많다. 따라서 조명나방에 대한 이해를 돕고자 조명나방의 생태와 예찰방법을 소개한다.
