Three species of the Laboulbenia are newly described from Korea. Laboulbenia borealis were collected from the sternites of the back abdomen of Gyrinus japonicus. L. humilis were collected from the upper side of the abdomen of Chlaenius naeviger. L. benjaminii were collected from the abdomen of Stenolophus difficilis.

Among a large number of insects collected by the authors in 1991, thirteen species under five genera of Laboulbeniales have been obtained from sourthern of Korea; Chitonomyces chinensis on Laccophillus difficilis, (Dytiscidae, Coleoptera), Chitonomyces melanurus on Laccophillus difficilis, (Dytiscidae, Coleoptera), Chitonomyces paradoxus on Laccophillus difficilis, (Dytiscidae, Coleoptera), Dichomyces furcifer on Philonthus amicus (Staphylinidae, Coleoptera), Dichomyces homalotae on Atheta sp. (Staphylinidae, Coleoptera), Laboulbenia acupalpi on Acupalpus inoratus (Carabidae, Coleoptera), Laboulbenia flagellata on Anisodactylus tricuspidatus (Carabidiae, Coleoptera), Laboulbenia proliferans on Chlaenius naeviger (Carabidae, Coleoptera), Laboulbenia tachys on Tachys laetificus (Carabidae, Coleoptera), Laboulbenia vulgaris on Bembidion scopulinum (Carabidae, Coleoptera), Rickia ancylopi on Ancylopus melanocephalus (Endomychidae, Coleoptera), Zodiomyces subseriatus on Helochares lentus (Hydrophilidae, Coleoptera), and Zodiomyces vorticellarius on Helochares lentus (Hydrophilidae, Coleoptera). Among these species, three species and a genus Zodiomyces (L. proliferans, Z. subseriatus and Z. vorticellarius) are newly reported to the flora of southern Korean region.

Change of carabid beelte (Coleoptera, Carabidae) diversity and population structures in Woopo Wetlands (Changneung-Gun, Gyeungsangnam-Do, S. Korea) were investigated after flooding events. During the investigation period, 11 species belonging to five genera were identified. Dolichus halensis halensis(Schaller), Chlaenius (Ch.) pallipes Gebler, Ch. (Ilaenchus) naeviger Morawitz, and Pheropsophus (Stenaptinus) jessoensis Morawitz were the predominant species in Woopo Wetlands. Floods occurred twice, August and September in 2004. After the flooding events, species diversity decreased and species assemblage structures changed dramatically. Changes of the diversity and species assemblage structures were more evident in August then in September, because water level was much higher and inundation period was longer than September. A non-linear patterning algorithm of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was applied to discover the relationship between flooding events and carabid beetles community dynamics. Although abundance of the majority species decreased after the flooding events, that of the predominant species increased. Further detailed studies on species distribution and emigration patterns will likely bring a new insight in understanding of the adaptation mechanism of carabid beetles in wetlands.

This study was conducted to investigate the distributional characteristics of ground beetles and to provide basis information for biodiversity management including the ground beetles in the Naejangsan National Park area. Pitfall traps were installed throughout 20 sites within Naejangsan National Park during 2008 to 2011 to collect ground beetles. A total of 2,409 collected ground beetles were identified with 35 species belonging to 19 genera of 8 subfamilies. Coptolabrus jankowskii jankowskii, Eucarabus sternbergi sternbergi, and Pterosticus audax were dominant at the core area, while Pheropsophus jessoensis, Synuchus nitidus, Synuchus cycloderus, and Chlaenius naeviger were dominant at the border of the National Park and adjacent to the road or grassland. These differences of dominant species also affected to the similarity of species composition between core and border area, and caused increasing dissimilarities between sites with cluster analysis. Although the result of the present study was a case study using ground beetles, it will be helpful to develop a management strategy of biodiversity conservation in Naejangsan National Park and its surroundings.
