As a result of ongoing systematic study of the genus Chrysotoxum, we have discovered C. ramphostomus and C. tuberculatum for the first time in Korea. These two species closely resemble each other and need to be identified with caution. We here provide detailed redescriptions and illustrations with their diagnostic characters indicated. Chrysotoxum tuberculatum can be readily distinguished from C. ramphostomus by the following characteristics: 1) hind trochanter with small tubercle; 2) compound eyes apparently bare; 3) basal 1/5 of hind femora brownish yellow; and 4) male genitalia asymmetrical in caudal view.

This study was carried out to report the newly recorded species of the family Crambidae, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. During the course of investigation on the family Crambidae in South Korea, the following four species are reported for the first time from Korea: Diplopseustis perieresalis (Walker, 1859), Dolicharthria bruguieralis (Duponchel, 1833), Herpetogramma ochrimaculale (South, 1901), and Omiodes diemenalis ($Guen{\acute{e}}e$, 1854). Among them two genera, Diplopseustis Meyrick and Dolicharthria Stephens, are also newly reported from Korea. External and genital characteristics of adults were examined and illustrated. All of the newly recorded species were enumerated with their available information including the collecting localities, illustrations of adults, and genitalia.

From a result of surveys on the biodiversity monitoring for moths in Korea, six species of micro-moths that were never known from Korea are reported here for the first time from this country. They are: Udea pseudocrocealis(South, 1901) of the family Crambidae, which has been known as endemic to Japan; Epinotia albiguttata (Oku, 1974) of the family Tortricidae, which was known belonging to Hikagehamakia Oku, 1974; and four species of the family Gelechiidae: Protoparachronistis concolor Omelko, 1986 and P. discedens Omelko, 1986, which were described from Primorisk, Russian Far East; Thiotricha pancratiastis Meyrick, 1921, which is known from Isl. Jejudo, and Thiotricha sp. which is being described in a separate paper. Here we provide images of adults and genitalia for the unrecorded species with a brief diagnosis.

Five species of Olethreutinae: four in Olethreutini, Olethreutes manoi (Kawabe, 1987), Olethreutes exilis Falkovitsh, 1966, Olethreutes komaii (Bae, 2005), and Proschistis marmaropa (Meyrick, 1907), and one in Grapholitini, Dichrorampha canimaculata Komai, 1979, are reported from Korea for the first time. Olethreutes komai is recorded out of Japan for the first time. The genus Proschistis is new to the Korean fauna. Proschistis can be characterized by the shapes of tegumen and juxta in the male genitalia. Brief descriptions and imaginal and genital photos are provided for the species. Distribution, host plants, and taxonomic notes when necessary are given for each species.

The clinical features of the Mayer-Rokitansky-K$\ddot{u}$ster-Hauser(MRKH) syndrome include normal female secondary sex characteristics, normal genitalia, congenital absence of vagina, rudimentary or bipartite uterus, normal ovarian function and normal ovulation, 46, XX, karyotype, frequent association of renal, skeletal and other congenital anomalies. We experienced a case of a premature infant with MRKH syndrome who had imperforate anus and unilateral renal agenesis.

The field-cricket $Turanogryllus$ $eous$ Bey-Bienko, 1956 and its genus $Turanogryllus$ Tarbinsky, 1940 were recorded for the first time from Chungcheongbuk-do province in Korea to carry out the project 'The sound guides to Korean animals.' Depending on the discovery of the cricket, its distributional ranges are more widened towards East Asia to the Korean peninsula from China mainland, the $Turanogryllus$ was 10th to known Gryllinae genera in Korea. Description, photos of habitus, figure of male genitalia, oscillogram and spectrogram for the calling sound are provided for aid identification. Voucher specimens are deposited in the collection of National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon, Korea.

A new genus Parkiana Cho, gen. nov., belonging to Torodorinae of Lecithoceridae, is described from Madagascar, with two new species: P. matutinalis Cho & Agassiz, sp. nov. and P. andasibensis Cho & Agassiz, sp. nov. Although superficially similar to Thubdora Park, 2018, some of their morphological characters, such as wing venation, are unique and the species of the genus are grouped apart from Thubdora in a preliminary phylogenetic analysis based on COI barcode sequences. In addition to the specific descriptions, adults and genitalia for the two new species are illustrated.

As laparoscopic surgery becomes more popular, various complications following the laparoscope are also increasing. Nerve injury following the laparoscope is an infrequent but serious complication for both the doctor and patient. A 30-year old female patient suffered severe burning pain of the left buttock, inguinal area, external genitalia and inner side of vagina following laparoscopic surgery for ovarian mass. We successfully treated this patient with ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric nerve block in combination with epidural blocks.

As the 5th series of the study on the family Lecithoceridae in Sri Lanka, 24 species of Timyra Walker including 5 new species, and 8 species of Doxogenes Meyrick including 3 new species, are recognized. Among them 4 species of Timyra Walker and 2 species of Doxogenes Meyrick, which were previously described from Sri Lanka, were not found during the study. Timyra praeceptrix Meyrick is synonimized with T. mendicella Walker, and T. stachyophora Meyrick wth T. orthadia Meyrick. Descrption of the new species, with illustrations of their genitalia are given.
