A new species of marine Halacaridae, Copidognathus laevisetosus is recorded from Yeongdeok coast, Korea. In morphological aspects, the present new spe챠es is closely related to C. koreanus Chatterjee and Chang. Morphological similarities and dissimilarities between them are discussed. Copidognathus cerberoideus Bartsch is reported here for the first time from Korea and away from its type locality.

This study includes the taxanomy, description and a key to species of mites in the family Bdellidae from Korea. Specimens were collected at 60 localities in Korea from January, 1994 to June, 1997. As a result of this study, the following 7 species were identified : Bdella longicornis ( Linnaeus, 1758), Bdella muscorum Ewing, 1909, Cyta latirostris (Hermann, 1804), Biscirus thori Womersley, 1933, Spinibdella tenurostris (Ewing, 1914). Six species excluding Bdella muscorum of them are newly recorded from Korea.

Extracts of 43 species of plants were tested for their insecticidal and acaricidal activities against six species of insect pests and one mite species. The methanol extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves selectively was found to have potent insecticidal activity against Nilaparvata lugens (Stal), whereas steam distillate of Thujopsis dolabarata var. hondai sawdust showed potent insecticidal activities with a broad spectrum. The methanol extract of Pinus densiflora leaves and steam distillate of T. dolabrata var. hondai sawdust exhibited potent activities against Tetranychus urticae (Koch).

The use of biological indicator for environmental monitoring has suddenly become popular in many international organizations as well as domestic ones. Since the biological indicator species should be well responsive to native environmental change, development of native indicator species is prerequisite for environmental assessment and restoration program. Through regression analysis of mean density and pH, potential indicator species were screened from Namsan and Kwangreung where differential environmental stresses are influenced; Lasiobelba remota, Ceratozetes sp. Tectocepheus velatus, Neogymnobates sp. and Oppia sp.3. Also keystone species in two study area were Lohmannia coreana, Ceratozetes sp., Rostrozetes pulcherrimus, and Lasiobelba remota in Namsan Deciduous forest and Neogymnobates sp., Neogymnobates donghaksaensis, and Cultroribula tridentata in Kwangreung. Advantages and disadvantages of using biological indicator for environmental monitoring were further discussed.

The present research was conducted to determine insecticidal activity of methanol extract and its fractions from the fig (Ficus carica L.) leaves grown under different cropping conditions, glasshouse, plastic house, and outdoor. Methanol extracts from fig loaves grown at outdoor showed higher insecticidal activity (80 to 89%) against Tetranychus urticae than those at plastic house or glass house. Especially ethylacetate and hexane fractions from methanol extracts of fig leaves grown at outdoor exhibited the highest insecticidal activity against Tetranychus urticae, showing 92% and 90% control, respectively. The results suggest that methanol extract and its fractions from outdoor-grown fig leaves had the potent insecticidal activity as a plant-based insect control mean.

Phenylformamidines are well known as insecticides for their specific activity against the insects. It has now been established that they show insecticidal activity as agonists on the octopamine receptor which is located in the synapse membrane. In this study we tried to test the effect of fluorine substituted aromatic formamidines and 1,3,5-triazapenta-1,4-dienes. Among the compounds, 2h, 2k, 21, 3g, 3h, 3k showed good activity against mite and aphid and 4f and 4g showed high activity against mite.

Dissipation constants and half-lives of acaricides etoxazole and flufenoxuron in apples were calculated to establish their pre-harvest residue limits (PHRLs). The acaricides were sprayed on apples with single and triple doses based on safe use guidelines, and their residual patterns in the apple were interpreted using first order kinetics equation. The residual amounts of acaricides during the experimental period were below their maximum residue limits (MRL) for apple. The dissipation constants of acaricides in the apples were calculated at 0.0788 for etoxazole and 0.0319 for flufenoxuron corresponding to their biological half-lives; 8.8~21.7 days for etoxazole and 21.7~23.1 days for flufenoxuron. The PHRLs of acaricides in the apple showed the residual amounts of etoxazole and flufenoxuron at the harvesting date would be below their MRLs if their residual amounts were less than 0.87 and 0.88 mg/kg, respectively, at 7 days prior to harvesting the apples.

We have developed simple and reliable new habitat plants system with natural enemies names as "Natural Enemy in First (NEF)" method. As a result, NEF without monitoring and release of just natural enemy with monitoring showed higher bio-control effects, i.e., 83% and 70%, respectively than environmental friendly agricultural material (EFAM) treatment. In addition, the average population density of predatory mites on NEF method was higher (three times) than other treatment.

In this report, an experiment has been conducted to test the quantitative changes of nucleic acids in the nuclei of the epidermal cell of the galls, caused by Eriophyes kuko Kishida on the leaf of Lycium chinense Mill by means o( microspectrophotometric techniques, the two-wave-length methods. And the sizes of the epidermal cells and nuclei have been measured. The experimental results were summarized as follows: 1) It has been found that as the gall grows, the diameter of the epidermal cells and their nuclei increased and they were larger than those of tile healthy ones. 2) Microspectrophotometric measurement of nuclei by the 'Two-wave-length method' after staining with Feulgen reagent showed no changes in DNA content in the early stage of the gall. As the gall matured, however, DNA content of the gall increased more than that of the healthy leaf. 3) RNA-measurement of nuclei stained with Azur-B in DNase treated epidermal cells of the gall revealed that temporary increase in RNA content occurred in early to middle stages after the gall formation. As the gall matured, however, RNA content of the gall decreased more as against that of the healthy leaf.

The pyrazole family was discovered as effective insecticides/acaricides, and fenpyroximate and tebufenpyrad were introduced in the market. In this study, new series of pyrazole oxime ethers were designed and synthesized. The pyrazolone 1 was prepared by the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with methylhydrazine, and then subsequently subjected to the Vilsmeier-Haack chloroformylation yielding 4-formyl-5-chloro-pyrazole 2. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2 generally allowed the introduction of a wide range of heterocycles into the pyrazole ring. The resulting pyrazole aldehydes 3a-i were readily converted to the corresponding pyrazole oxime derivatives 4a-i, and subsequently to 5-substituted pyrazole oxime ether derivatives 6a-i. The screening assay results clearly show that the activities of 6d were comparable to those of fenpyroximate (6a) against BPH, DBM, and TSSM. It indicates that 6d has a potential to be developed as an insecticidal agent.
