The study was conducted to investigate the community structure of superfamily Pentatomoidea(Geocorisae: Hemiptera) in Mt. Kyeryongsan from August, 1989 to August, 1990. The collected pentatomoid insects were composed of 34 species, 22 genera, and 5 families. Percentages of pentatomoid insects found in each observed zone were 45.4 % (22 species) in the paddy bank, 37.5% (26 species) in the weedy field and 17.0% (20 species) in the shrubs. Dominant species and Simpson's dominance indices were Eurydema rugosa and Carbula putoni ($\lambda$=0.125) in the paddy bank, Carbula putoni and Eurydema rugosa ($\lambda$=0.183) in the weedy field, Gonopsis affinis and Coptosoma biguttulum ($\lambda$=0.099) in the shrubs. Seasonal dom¬inant species were Eurydema rugosa and Dolycoris baccarum ($\lambda$0.207) in Spring, Carbula putoni and Eurydema rugosa ($\lambda$=0.1l5) in Summer, and Carbula putoni and Nezara antennata ($\lambda$=0.141) in Autumn. Species diversity indices(H') in paddy bank, weedy field, and shrubs were 1.034, 1.039, and 1.105, respectively. Evenness indices(J') were 0.770, 0.734, and 0.849, respectively. Community structures were almost similar between the weedy field and the shrubs.

True bugs were surveyed at the forest, bank of rice fields, and sweet persimmon orchard near Jinju city, Korea in 2006 and 2007. Number of species (individuals) collected at the forest, bank of rice fields and persimmon orchard are 24 (817), 21 (425) and 15 (193) species, respectively. A dominant species was Nysius plebeius at the forest, and Cletus punctiger at the bank of rice fields and persimmon orchard. In all the three sites N. plebeius, C. punctiger, and Pachygrontha antennata were more abundant than other species, consisting 77.8% of the total collections. N. plebeius was mainly collected on July at the bank of paddy field, and on August and after October at the forest. Most number of C. punctiger was collected from early July to early September at three sites. P. antennata was mainly collected after October at the forest. Body sizes of the stink bugs were measured.

The study was conducted to investigate the community structure of superfamily Coreoidea (Geocorisae: Hemiptera) in Mt. Kyeryongsan from August, 1989 to August, 1990. The collected coreoid insects were composed of 17 species, 13 genera, and 2 families. Percentages of coreoid insects found in each observed zone were 47.4% (13 species) in the paddy bank, 37.4 % (13 species) in the weedy field and 15.2% (11 species) in the shrubs. Dominant species and Simpson's dominance indices were Riptortus clavatusa and Stictopleurus crassicornis ($\lambda$=0.128) in the paddy field, Cletus schmidti and Homoeocerus dilatatus ($\lambda$=0.141) in the weedy field, Riptortus clavatus and Homoeocerus dilatatus ($\lambda$=0.199) in the shrubs. Seasonal dominant species were Cletus trigon us and Rhopalus maculatus ($\lambda$=0.149) in Spring, Cletus schmidti and Homoeocerus dilatatus ($\lambda$=0.132) in Summer, and Riptortus clavatus and Cletus schmidti ($\lambda$=0. 386) in Autumn. Species diversity indices(H') in the paddy bank, weedy field, and shrubs were 0.931, 0.916, and 0.810, respectively. Eveness indices(J') were 0.836, 0.800, and 0.778, respectively. Community structures were almost similar between the paddy bank and the weedy field.

This study was conducted to determine Seasonal Occurrence, soybean damage and control efficacy of bean bug, Riptortus clavatus Thunberg at soybean field in Honam province. Occurrence of R. clavatus varied at seeding times with annual difference. The peak occurrence of R. clavatus was appeared at late of August for late May seeding and middle of September for middle June seeding. There was difference in the peak occurrence of R. clavatus due to different growing stages affected by different weather conditions though soybean was seeded at same time. If the rate of soybean seed damage area by R. clavatus sucking increases, the germinating rate was greatly decreased. If the rate of soybean seed damage area is above 50 percent, in particular, the germinating rate was very low with 2 percent. Control efficacy against R. clavatus was the highest with $91\%$ at 3 times treatment of insecticide at $R_4$ (full pod stage) + $R_5$ (Beginning seed stage) +$R_6$ (full seed stage) of soybean growing stages in field.

Life cycle of Tropidothorax cruciger(Motschulsky) was studied on Cynanchum wilfordii Hemsley in the field as well as its development, overwintering patterns, and host preferences. Overwintered adults appeared in early and mid May, and the first generation adults emerged from late June extending to mid August. Second generation adults which usually overwinter, appeared from mid September to early October and were usually found beneath the soil surface or fallen leaves in winter. Adults were not attracted to various light sources. T. cruciger showed host preferences specifically toward Metapiexis japonica and Cynanchum wilfordii, both in the family of Asclepiadaceae.

This study was conducted to reveal the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in Mt. Munan, based on the morphological and molecular characters. Soil and root samples were collected from the rhizosphere of host plants including Lindera obtusiloba, Stephanandra incisa, Styrax obassis and Symplocos sawafutagi and AMF were trap-cultured with Sorghum bicolor as a host plant in a greenhouse. The spores were extracted from the cultured soils and five species were identified using morphological and molecular characteristics; Acaulospora longula, A. mellea, Ambispora leptoticha, Gigaspora margarita and Paraglomus occultum. The distribution of AMF showed different trends according to host plants. The dominant AMF species were A. longula in L. obtusiloba, A. leptoticha in S. incisa, S. obassis and S. sawafutagi.

This study was carried out to know the insect fauna of turf grass area in forest. In Korea, graves and public cemetery in mountain areas are usually covered by turf grass which were mainly examined. There were 86 species belonging to 77 genera of 39 families in 11 orders. Among them, site 3 had highest occurrence (38%), second was site 2 (36%) and in the last place was site 1 (26%). Hemiptera revealed best species composition (29.1%) and came Coleoptera (19.8%), Orthoptera (15.1%), Lepidoptera (12.8%) and Odonata (5.8%) etc. The reason why Hemiptera and Orthoptera are mainly found in these areas is because they usually feed on short plants that grow in there. Taxonomic species composition, occurrence ratio by site and species and comparison analysis were provided.
