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.

One species of the Duplachionaspis, D. divergens (Green, 1899) is newly recorded in the Korean fauna of armored scales (Diaspididae). The characters of this genus and species are here redescribed from Korean specimens. A key to species of Duplachionaspis from the East Palaearctic Region, photographs and information on the distribution and hosts of this species, are also provided.

Five species of lsotomidae from North Korea, including four new species lsotomurus griseus nsp., I. myohyangsanus nsp., Isotoma grana nsp., I. agrana n. sp. and one new record for North Korea, Folsomia octoculata Handschin, 1925 are described and discussed. The Korean Isotomidae, therefore, come to list 19 species in 6 genera including 15 species in six genera from South Korea.

Korean species of Leucospis Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Leucospidae) are reviewed, with one newly-recognized species, Leucospis sinensis Walker, 1860. An identification key to the Korean Leucospis species, diagnoses, biological information and photographs of diagnostic characters are provided in the present study.

Morphological and molecular information of two marine algae collected from Korea is given. One belonging to a green alga, is characterized by small size up to 4 cm high, much branched thalli on all sides, slender and linear branchlets which is constricted near base, axes without prominent branch scars, chloroplasts with a prominent central pyrenoid. The other, as a brown alga, is distinct from other Korean species in having cylindrical elevated projections at all parts of thallus axis, leaves with slightly serrulate margin together with distinct midrib bearing spines and absence to rarely occurred vesicles. In phylogenetic tree based on rbcL sequences, these two species are nested in the same clade with Bryopsis triploramosa and Sargassum polyporum, respectively. In this study, these two species are newly recorded in the Korean marine algal flora based on the morphological and molecular data.

Eight species of the water mites of the genus Aturus are described from Korea. Five are new to science, and these are: A. multiclovus n. sp., A. kumariensis n. sp., A. multisetus n. sp., A. pilosus n. sp. and A parapilosus n. sp. In addition, A. caudatus and A. miyozakii are reported for the first time from this country. One unnamed species is also included. All the species are described on the basis of males.

The planthopper subfamily Achilinae (Metcalf, 1938) from Korea is taxonomically revised. Six genera and seven species are recorded among Korean fauna. Among them, one genus, Phenelia Kirkaldy, and two species, Phenelia striatella (Matsumura, 1914) and Deferunda qiana Chen and He (2010) are new to Korea. The male genital structures of all these species are described and illustrated, plus an identification key to the tribe, genus, and species is provided.

The species of the genus Athalia Leach from South Korea are reviewed. Six species are listed, one of which is a new record from South Korea (Athalia tanaoserrula Chu and Wang). In South Korean Athalia, we were not able to find any specimens of A. kashmirensis Benson, while many specimens identified as such were a misidentifications of A. tanaoserrula. Therefore, we think that A. kashmirensis should be excluded from the faunal list of South Korea. A key to the species of South Korean Athalia, diagnosis, photographs of the diagnostic characters, distribution and recorded hosts for each species are also provided.

During a recent study to understand an interaction of Collembola community and their environmental factors, two species in the genus Folsomia, F. quadrioculata Tullberg 1871 and F. octoculata Handschin 1925, were found in the forest of South Korea. From 2013 to 2015, these two species were sampled from six mountains and F. quadrioculata or F. octoculata was the dominant species in 5 sampling sites among 6 sampling sites. F. quadriocualta and F. octoculata were found in litter of deciduous and pine forest, respectively. Therefore, the major tree species seems to be one of the important factors determining their habitat. F. quadiroculata is newly recorded from the Korean Peninsula and F. octoculata is redescribed based on new materials from South Korea.

The family Gracillariidae, belonging to the superfamily Gracillarioidea, is one of the major group of leaf-miners. Among them, the genus Telamoptilia Kumata & Kuroko, 1988 has been known as a small genus with only nine described species over worldwide to date. In this study, the genus Telamoptilia Kumata & Kuroko, 1988, is reported for the first time from Korea. In addition, two species of the genus Telamoptilia, T. grewiae Liu, Wang & Li, 2015 and T. tiliae Kumata & Ermolaev, 1988, are newly recorded in Korea. All the known species are enumerated with their available information. The adults and genitalia of all species are redescribed and illustrated.
