A bothid specimen (65.8 mm SL) collected from southern coastal waters of Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, is identified as Engyprosopon grandisquama. The specimen represents a new Korean record for the species. It is characterized by the presence of 6 gill rakers on the lower limb of the first arch, caudal fin with a pair of large jet-black blotches between the 3rd and 4th rays counted from the upper and lower margins, and body depth more than 50% of body length. A new Korean name "keun-bi-neul-neop-chi-sok" and "keun-bi-neul-neop-chi" is proposed for the genus and species, respectively.

A specimen of Aspasma minima (25.4 mm SL) belonging to the family Gobiesocidae was collected from coastal waters near Hamdeok in Jeju Island, Korea. This species is characterized by having 6~9 dorsal fin rays, 5~9 anal fin rays, 20~24 pectoral fin rays, many red spots on head and body when fresh, and posterior end of upper jaw not reaching anterior margin of eye. Our specimen is well matched in its morphological characteristics with previous descriptions of A. minima. Thus, we newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name, "Kkoma-hak-chi".

A single specimen of the ophichthid Muraenichthys gymnopterus (254.6 mm TL) was collected from the middle Yellow Sea off Incheon, Korea. It represents the first record of the species, the genus, and the subfamily from Korea. This species is characterized by the following combination of characters: a constricted midlateral gill opening; dorsal fin origin before anus, closer to the anus than to the gill opening; blunt teeth, jaw teeth in bands, and multiserial dentition; third preopercular pore present; single infraorbital pore between anterior and posterior nostrils; brownish colour; depth and width of gill opening 43.2 times and 33.7~65.3 times in total length, respectively; eye diameter 15.0~31.0 times in head length and total vertebrae 154~161. New Korean names are proposed, "Gaet-mul-baem-a-gwa" for the subfamily Myrophinae, "Gaet-mul-baem-sok" for the genus Muraenichthys, and "Gaet-mul-baem" for M. gymnopterus.

Only 12 species of marine harpacticoid copepods are ercorded in Koran waters. With the study on the taxonomy of harpacticoid copepods in Korean waters, Lourinia armata(Claus, 1866) was found in the samples from the rocky shore of Names off the east coast and Chiju Hrbor in June and August 1992, respectively. This species is reported to be distributed in the far east Asian coasts for the first time. It was redescribed and figured.

Thirty-three species or subspecies of marine peteriomorphs from Ullng Island, Korea are described . All the described species are new to the fauna of this island. Among them, five speices, Modiolus (Modiolus) comptus Sowerby, 1915, Gregareiella coralliophaga(Gmelin, 1791) , Musculus (Musculus) laevigatus (Gray, 1824), Chlamys(Coralichlamys) jousseaumei Bavay, 19.4, Spndylus (Spondylus) varius Sowerby, 1829 are newly recorded in Korean waters. These five species are redescribed.

Based on the material in the Center for Insect Systematics, Chuncheon, Korea and Institute of Biology and Pedology, Vladivostok, Russia, 4 species of tineids are described as new to science: Morophaga parabucepkala sp. nov., Ceratutzcus orientatzus sp. nov., Gerontha ampliptera sp. nov., and G. namhaensis sp. nov. Furthermore 6 species are recognized new to Korea: , and 4 species new to Russian Far East:

This is the first report of Chaetodontoplus melanosoma, belonging to the family Pomacanthidae, collected in Korea. The specimen (123.1 mm in standard length) was caught in the coastal waters of Jejudo Island by a trammel net on 23 February 2010. This species was characterized by the following morphological traits: 26 dorsal fin rays, 16 pectoral fin rays, 6 pelvic fin, 21 anal fin rays, no blue strips on the body, no markings behind the eye, and an egg-shaped faint black spot on the base of the pectoral fin. We suggest a new Korean name "Geom-eun-cheong-jul-dom" for C. melanosoma.

Interception data pertaining to Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Thysanoptera, and Hymenoptera collected at the Korean quarantine border were cross-checked with new recorded species in Korea from 2015 to 2022. Overall, 45,084 interceptions belonging to the six orders were detected, and 545 species belonging to the six orders were newly reported in Korea. Of the 545 species, nine species were recorded as being intercepted at the quarantine border. Among the six orders, Coleoptera, Thysanoptera, and Hemiptera showed high numbers of interception; however, Hymenoptera revealed the highest number in new recorded species. These results indicate that recent newly recorded species in Korea are not subject to inspection at Korean borders and that the current quarantine system needs improvement.

Marine harpacticoid copepods of the genus parathalestris, which are suspected as a chief cause of pinholes or galls of cultivated seaweeds like Undaria pinnatifida, are studied taxonomically. As a result of examining the specimens from 23 localities in Korea since 1989, the authors confirmed sic species of the genus Parathalestris including a new species, P. parviseta n. sp., and four species new to korean fauna: P. bulbiseta Lang, 1965; P. verrucosa Ito, 1970; P. pacificus Tschislenko, 1971 and P. arelata Ito, 1972. A key to these six species of parathalestris was made out, with the illustrations for them.
