  • The variation in the diet of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum was investigated through analysis of feces collected before and after parturition. The results shows a high use of Coleoptera, which accounted for 30-77% in diet. Diptera(total 27.38%), and Lepidoptera(total 13.31%) was also consumed for the most part. Prey types recovered also included small numbers of Hymenoptera, Neuroptera. The diet of R. ferrumequinum varies before and after parturition. In lactating period, Coleoptera was mainly consumed(77%), but the use of Diptera significantly increased in post-lactating period.(51%)

  • The fly genus Orchisia Rondani belonging to the tribe Coenosiini of the family Muscidae, known to be distributed throughout old world, is newly recorded in Korean fauna, along with the type species O. costata (Meigen, 1826). This genus has been known to include only two species, O. costata and O. subcostata Cui, Xue et Liu, 1995. These flies can be readily distinguished by the other related taxa of the tribe Coenosiini in having prominent color pattern on wings. The Korean population has been observed on the grass vegetation at marsh area. Photographs of external features and male genitalic characters are provide.

  • Sciaria thoracica Matsumura belonging to the family Sciaridae is recorded from Korea for the first time. This species is a conspicuous species having the rufous thorax in Palearctic region. The morphological diagnosis and photos of adult, and the result of DNA barcoding inferred from the Korean and the Japanese populations of S. thoracica are provided.

  • In this paper, a total of 11 species of the genus Chirosia are treated. Among them, a species, Chirosia flavipennis (Fallen, 1823), is newly added to Korean fauna. The keys to Korean species, host plants and domestic localities are given. Some illustrations of male genitalic features are included. The cladistic analysis of the Korean species is performed using Musca domestica (Muscidae), Scathophaga stercoraria (Scathophagidae), Delia platura (Anthomyiidae) and Anthomyia angulata (Anthomyiidae) as outgroups.
