Four new species of predatory nematodes belonging to the Actinolaimoidea, Dorylaimida are described. Neoactinolaimus gosungensis n. sp. is 2.2-2.4 mm long, b = 4.3-4.9; c = 10.7-11.2; species 60-62 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ long and is distinguishable by low lip region, asymmetrical odontostyle and its wider lumen. Egtitus arcuatus n. sp. is 1.5-1.8 mm long, b = 3.6-4.2; c = 14-15 and is characterized by having dorsally arcuate odontostyle and presence of cardiac glands at base of oesophagus. Paractinolaimus tuberculantus n. sp. is 1.9-2.5 mm long, b = 3.3-4.0, c = 7.2-8.8, spicules 66-69 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ long and is unique in having coiled body posture and a tubercle at the base of oesophagus. Carcharolaimus koriensis n. sp. is 1.7-1.9 mm long, b = 3.6-4.5, c = 65-76 and is characterized by having very thick body cuticle and larger odontostyle aperture.

Bonsai is part of export forest products in Korea. Demand for bonsai exports to other countries is growing but the need for quarantine hazards must be eliminated in other to export. Plant parasitic nematode is also an important factor in quarantine. The nematodes were surveyed from bonsai farms in 6 areas of Korea. The surveyed deciduous bonsai plants were Acer palmatum, Zinnia elegans, Ligustrum obtusiflium, Carpinus turcaninowii, and Malus sieboldii. Three plant parasitic nematodes (Hemicyliophora koreana, Rotylenchus blothrotylus and Xiphinema americanum) and three non-parasitic nematodes (Aporclaimellus donghwaens, Egtitus andhricus, and Mesodorylaimus usitatus) were isolated from bonsai. Non-parasitic nematode, Mesodorylaimus usitatus was isolated from all surveyed bonsai trees. Only two species of quarantine nematodes (Hemcylicopora koreana and Xiphinema americanum) were found from bonsai. A. donghwaens and M. usitatus were isolated from root of bonsai tree. However other nematodes were isolated from soil in bonsai trees.
