A study on the fine structure of the marine diatoms has been carried out for taxonomical purpose during the periods from September 1983 to March 1987 in Korean coastal waters. Fine structure of smallThalassiosira(Bacillariophyceae) was studied by means of light microscope and scanning electron nisroscopy. Secondarily, six species of Thalassiosira were identified and described. Of these Thalassiosia allenii, T. binata and T. conferta were new records for Korean coastal waters. Thalassiosira aestivalis, T.allenii, T.binata, T.conferta, and T. pacifica have a valve with a single labiate process and one central and one marginal ring of strutted processes, but T.rotula has many central strutted processes close together instead of one central strutted process.

The taxonomic position of actinomycete strain SCNU5$\^$T/, isolated from extensive foam in the aeration basin of an activated sludge process, was clarified by phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses. The strain possesses wall chemotype IV, MK-9(H$\^$0/), as the major menaquinone, and contains saturated, monounsaturated and 10-methyl branched fatty acids. The G+C content of its DNA is 68.1 mol%. Phenotypic data and DNA relatedness to known species indicate that the strain SCNU5$\^$T/ represents a new species within the genus Tsukamurella, for which we propose the name Tsukamurella sunchonensis SP. NOV. The type Strain Of T. sunchonensis is SCNU5$\^$T/ (=KCTC 9827$\^$T/).

Asteroid specimens were collected using fishing nets from the East Sea, Korea. The specimens were identified as Solaster paxillatus Sladen, 1889, belonging to the family Solasteridae of the order Valvatida. This species can be distinguished from three other Korean Solaster species by having 10 arms; subambulacral spines comprising four or five near base of arm, six or seven in middle part, and five or six in distal part of arm; furrow spines comprising four or five near basal part and three or four in distal part of arm; and suboral spines comprising more than ten spinules. The morphological characteristics of this species were described with illustrations. Solaster paxillatus is first reported in marine fauna of Korea.

Two harpacticoid copepods, Pseudonsiella longicaudata. n. sp. and Xylora longiantennulata n. sp. belonging to the subfamily Donsiellinae are described. They were found in the wood infested by isopod of the genus Limnoria from the East Sea (Sea of Japan), Korea. The former species is characteristic in having the long caudal ramus and four setae on mandi bular basis. The latter one closely resembles X, nertica Hicks in general body form, but is clearly distinguished from X. nertica in that the antennule is much longer and the caudal ramus is longer, and leg 5 endopod bears four setae.

Cardot(1904) first reported 98 Korean mosses, which were collected from Busan, Gangwon Province, Mokpo, Seoul, Wonsan and Pyongyang by Father Faurie in 1901. Thirty-four of these species were new species to the world. However, eight of these species have been not listed to the moss checklist of Korea before this study. Thus, this study complies the literature including Korean mosses, and lists all the species there. As the result, the moss list of Korea is updated as including 775 taxa (728 species, 7 subspecies, 38 varieties, 2 forma) arranged into 56 families and 250 genera. This list include species that have been newly recorded since 1980. Brachythecium is the largest genus in Korea, and Fissidens, Sphagnum, Dicranum and Entodon are relatively large. Additionally, this study cites specimens collected from Jeju Island, Samcheok, Gangwon Province, and Socheong Island, and it is possible to confirm the distribution of 338 species in Korea.

Synanthedon velox (Fixsen) is redescribed and the genus Bembecia is reported for the first time from Korea with B. pavicevici To$\check{s}$evski. Description, images of the adult, genitalia, and the Korean common names of two species are provided. Their host plants are listed and their biology is briefly summarized.

The specimens belonging to the family Biphyllidae were collected at Mt. Baekun-san (Nonsil and Hanjae), Jeollanam-do with Lindgren funnel traps from May to August, 2015. Through this study, we report seven species of the genus Biphyllus including three newly recorded species; B. aequalis (Reitter), B. flexuosus (Reitter) and B. kuzurius Sasaji. We herein present the key to the identification of species of the Korean Biphyllidae and illustrations of diagnostic characteristics of them.

The four specimens of Clariger cosmurus, belonging to the family gobiidae were collected from the southern costal region of Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The specimens are characterized by having two dorsal fins, a few barbels below the eye, and dark brownish line along lateral body from tip of snout to caudal peduncle. We propose a new Korean name of the genus Clariger, C. cosmurus as respectively Wae-mang-duk sok and Wae-mang-duk, for the species.

Sinomegoura citricola (van der Goot, 1917) is recognized on Citrus unshiu Markovich (Rutaceae), Photinia glabra (Thunb.) Maxim (Rosaceae), and Cinnamomum lourelirii Nees (Lauraceae) from Jeju-do, Korea. Apterous viviparous female, alate viviparous female, and an intermediate morph between the apterous female and alate female are described. This is the first record of the genus Sinomegoura in Korea.

The phylogenetic analysis was carried out to find out the validity of Chrysochroa coreana as a new species. The insect specimens were collected at Kaohsiung, Taiwan and Shizuoka, Japan. Partial region (532 bp) of COI was amplified and sequenced. The sequences were aligned and then analyzed. Based on the Kimura-2-parameter method, we calculated genetic distances among them. It indicated that the Korean individual of C. fulgidissima was closely related to Taiwan one with relatively low genetic distance (0.083). On the other hand, the Japanese individual was remotely related with those of Korean (0.192) and Taiwan (0.183) individuals. To clarify if the populations of C. fulgidissima from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan are different at the level(s) of subspecies, species, or genus, it is necessary that more samples of the members of the family Buprestidae should be collected and genetically analyzed.
