Desmotimmia mirabilis (Timm), a rarely known desmoscolecid nematode species, was discovered for the first time from the Yellow Sea off southwestern coast of Korea. This is the third record of the species, and the first report from the northwestern Pacific region. Redescription is prepared on the basis of a male specimen from South Korea.

전국식물기생선충 분포조사기간에 채집된 선충중에서 Dorylaimida 목, Trichodoroidea 상과의 Trichodoridae 과선중이 분류동정되었다. Trichodorus cedarus는 콩, 배추, 보리 및 사과등에서 채집되어 분류동정되었으며, Paratrichodorus porosus 콩, 마늘, 배추 및 옥수수 등에서 검출되었다. Trichodoroidea 상과의 선충은 아직까지 우리나라에 기록되지 않았었다.

This report was undertaken to examine the correlationship between internal parasite infection and amount of milk production before and after vermicidal administration on F. hepatica and gastrointestinal nematoda infected cattle. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. Out of total number(358), the ratios of parasitic infected catle were 43.5%(156). Among them milking cattl. and Korean native cattle were 52.7% and 31.6%, respectively. 2. In this examination, 10 kinds of parasites were detected. Among them F. hepatica was encountered most frquently and also Buxtonella, Paramphistoma, Coccidim, Cestoda, and Trichur were encountered in order. 3. The average increased amount of milk production after vermicidal administration on F. hepatica and gastrointestinal nematoda infected cattle was 1.1Kg per day.

A draconematid nematode species, Dracograllus filipjevi Allen and Noffsinger, 1978, is described from the washings of shallow littoral coralline algae at Guryongpo in the eastern coast of Korea. This species is recognized by the following characteristics: larger body size, number of posterior sublateral adhesion tubes (9 in male and 12-13 in female) and subventral adhesion tubes (8-9 in male and 9-10 in female), the absence of cephalic acanthiform setae on rostrum, the presence of longitudinally areolated body cuticle with dot-like punctations, the presence of some cuticular collar in swollen pharyngeal region, the shape of amphidial fovea (large, elongate, and loop-shaped in both sexes), the absence of preanal corniform setae, and the absence of lateral differentiation on narrow body region. Morphological features of the species using differential interference contrast photomicrographs are described in detail in the present work. The is the first report of D. filipjevi in Korea.

Eucephalobus oxyuroides (de Man, 1876) Steiner, 1936 belonging to the family Cephalobidae Filpijev, 1934 (Cephalobomorpha) is newly reported from South Korea. This species is distinguished from other Eucephalobus species by its pointed tail terminus, high lips and relatively longer female tail and body. From many previous studies, intraspecific variation in this species has been reported for body length, absence/presence of probolae, and number/position of papillae in the posterior region of male, posing an obstacle for identification and phylogenetic analysis. In this study, details of the morphological characters and morphometric of E. oxyuroides Korean population are described and illustrated based on optical microscopy.

The genus Aphelenchoides (Fischer, 1894) includes a diverse group of species, some of which are of economic importance. A. bicaudatus (Imamura, 1931) Filipjev and Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1941 is reported for the first time from South Korea, with a detailed redescription of the species. Specimens were collected from chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) leaves and shoot tips in South Korea. The species was identified by morphological traits and molecular sequencing. A bifurcated tail distinguishes A. bicaudatus from its congeneric species. To confirm species identification, we determined the partial 18S ribosomal DNA sequence of the specimens and compared with those obtained from other Aphelenchoides species available on GenBank.

Numerous specimens of adults and juveniles of Draconema japonicum Kito, 1976 have been found in intertidal and subtidal sediments and various algae around coast of South Korea. Draconema japonicum is recognized by the following characteristics: having an elongated loop-shaped amphideal fovea in male and horseshoe-shaped amphideal fovea in female, two pairs of uniformly tapered sublateral anal setae and two pairs of unevenly tapered subventral anal setae in male, eight to ten pairs in male and 13 to 15 pairs in female of posterior sublateral adhesion tubes, and five to six pairs of somatic setae on non-striated tail region. Scanning electron photomicrographs of the species are presented with a detailed morphological description and a key to the species of the genus Draconema Cobb, 1913. This is the first discovery of D. japonicum outside the Japanese waters.

As a result of the faunistic survey of the free-living marine nematodes from coastal algal beds and sublittoral sands in South Korea, we report a meiobenthic species, Desmoscolex cosmopolites Timm, 1970, for the first time from the western Pacific as well as Korean waters. Among 17-ring Desmoscolex species, D. cosmopolites is represented by the following combination of characters: absence of subventral setae on 10th and 14th main rings and the presence of subdorsal setae with large angular lance-shaped tip. A detailed morphological redescription is provided using a scanning electron microscope and a differential interference contrast microscope. Character comparison between D. cosmopolites and its allied congeneric species is also analysed.

A new species of free-living marine draconematid nematode, Dracogalerus koreanus n. sp., is described from the shallow subtidal coarse sediments and various invertebrates of Jeju Island, Korea. This is the first record of this genus from Korea. Dracogalerus koreanus n. sp. is morphologically most similar to D. cryptocephalus (Irwin-Smith) in having similar head shape (rostrum broadly rounded anteriorly) and eight cephalic adhesion tubes, but differs by the small number of rounded protuberances on the ventral side of non-annulated tail end (5 vs 6), small number of posterior subventral adhesion tubes in male (5-6 vs 8), intermingled somatic setae (5-6 vs absent), spicules (slightly curved and relatively thick vs strongly curved and very slender), and higher 'c' value in male (8.8 vs 7.5).
