  • We photographed a nest of Bubo bubo kiautschensis in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, which had laid 3 eggs and was incubating the eggs. Although 2 chicks were hatched from the 2 eggs, one of them disappeared and the other of them died in March 8, 2007.

  • Two species of crabs, Cycloes granulosa and Pugettia vulgaris, are described and illustrated for the first time in Korea. The former is the first species of calappoid genus Cycloes and characterized by having a minute lateral spine on the margin of carapace. The latter is a species of majoid crab and similar to P. pellucens. However, it can be distinguished by shorter rostral spines, a smaller hepatic spine, and a carapace entirely covered with short setae. In Korea the calappoid crab now includes seven species of three genera (Calappa, Mursia, and Cycloes) and the majoid genus Pugettia consists of six species.

  • Eight species and four genera belonging to two families of antipatharians have been reported in Korea. In the present study, the major specimens were collected from the coastal areas of Jejudo Island from 2005 to 2006, and the other ones which have been deposited in the Natural History Museum and the Department of Life Science, Ewha Womans University during the period from 1965 to 2004 were reexamined. As a result of this work, four species, Myriopathes bifaria, M. stechowi, M. ulex and Plumapathes pennacea are new to Korean antipatharian fauna. In this study, total six species including previously recorded species of the family Myriopathidae were described. And the distribution range of Myriopathes lata was turned out to be expanded from southwestern sea to the eastern sea, up to Ulleungdo Is. of Korea. Especially, the sexuality and the gonadal stage of M. lata which are collected during their reproduction period were also determined by means of histological analysis.

Pictetiella asiatica Zwick & Levanidova, Claassenia radiata (Klapálek), Xanthoneuria unimaculata (Zhiltzova) and Sweltsa sp. Ko (temporary name) are known only from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Nemoura sahlbergi Morton, Perlomyia kiritshenkoi Zhiltzova, and Neoperla adamantea Murányi & Li are reported for the Republic of Korea in this study. Nemoura ussuriensis Zhiltzova, Capnia sidimiensis Zhiltzova, Eucapnopsis quattuorsegmentata Okamoto, Yoraperla uenoi (Kohno), Isoperla kozlovi Zhiltzova, and Kamimuria lyubaretzi Teslenko are new from the Korean peninsula.

  • 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.
