Six species of marine algae new to Korea are described. Among them, five species belong to the Rhodophyta: Calaxaura clavigera Kjellman, G. hystpix Kjellman, Chrysymenia grandis Okamura, Delisea okadai (Yamada) Chihara et Yoshizaki and Webrella micans Hauftfleisch, and one to Phaeophyta: Saundersella saxicola Inagaki. Chrysymenia grandis and Delisea okadai are collected on the seashore after heavy storm, while the other four are from the upper part of sublittoral zone.

Two hundred and twenty five strains which belong to the genus Aspergillus were isolated from specimens collected throughout the southern coastal areas of Korea, Fifteen species and one variety throughout the nine species groups including A. itaconicus and A.unguis, which are unrecorded in Korea, were identified according to Raper-Fennell's classification key.

The rotifers collected from various terrestrial habitats such as mosses, lichens and mushrooms on tree trunks at four different locations in Korea were investigated. Five species and one subspecies belonging to four genera in three families of monogonont and bdelloid rotifers were identified: Adineta cuneata Milne, 1916, Macrotrachela insolita De Koning, 1947, Macrotrachela musculosa Milne, 1886, Macrotrachela nana nana (Bryce, 1912), Mniobia bredensis De Koning, 1947 and Bryceella stylata (Milne, 1886). All these rotifers are new to Korea, and A. cuneata, M. bredensis and B. stylata are new to Asia as well. Here diagnostic characteristics and illustrations are provided for each Korean new record.

The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence and foraging of social and other wasps and bees in Jirisan National Park (JNP, South Korea), in particular in an apiary. Sixty one traps were placed in the southwestern part of JNP to identify social wasps from July to September 2014, and the damage to the apiary caused by wasps or bees was observed once a month from May to December 2014 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. In total, 10 species of Vespidae were collected by trapping. Vespa crabro was the most abundant (245 individuals, 28.3%), followed by Vespa velutina (162 individuals, 18.7%). In the apiary, however, V. velutina was the most frequent species. V. velutina visited a maximum of 167 times a day in September, which corresponded to one visit in 2.5 min. Accordingly, these data are in line with the most serious impact of V. velutina on the apiaries in South Korea. V. simillima was the second most frequent species; both Vespa species hawked honeybees. Even though the occurrence of V. mandarinia was low, this species caused serious damage by mass slaughter of honeybees. The occurrence of V. crabro, V. analis and V. ducalis was quite low and their impact on honeybees was negligible. There have been few reports of V. dybowskii foraging for honeybees, but they are considered to be a new pest because their impact on apiaries is considerable. Most Vespa species attacked the apiary from June to October, with a maximum in September. However, V. velutina visited until November to early December. Vespula species are not more serious pests than Vespa species, but many adults were observed stealing honey from beehives. Polistes, Orancistrocerus, and Bombus species had no impact on honeybee colonies in the apiary.

Rotifers inhabiting Oshipcheon (Samcheog-city), one of the natal streams of chum salmon in the east coast, were studied taxonomically. As a result, 19 species/subspecies were identified, and of which five rotifers are newly recorded from Korea: Cephalodella forficula, Dicranophorus forcipatus, Notommata glyphura, Bryceella tenella, and Habrotrocha collaris. Among these Korean new records, Habrotrocha collaris is also new to Asia.

One new species of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) from Korea, Poruchordodes megareolatus, is described. The specimen is reported from the human urinary system. The significance of this and other reports from the urinary system is discussed. The characteristics of the new species are clusters of a small type of cuticular structures, the areoles, which are associated with a second type of areoles, the large megareoles. Another character unique for the genus Parachordodes is the fusion of rows of cuticular bristles on the ventral side anterior of the cloacal opening.

Microphallus species occur primarily as intestinal parasites of birds and mammals, and metacercariae of a new species belonging to this genus have been discovered from the crab, Macrophthalmus dilatatus, in the Republic of Korea. The metacercaria of this fluke was round with 2 thick walls, and the excysted one had mature genital organs. The adult flukes recovered from experimentally infected chicks had numerous intrauterine eggs, well-developed pars prostatica, widely bifurcating ceca, and prominent uterine bulge. After observing internal structures, it was concluded that this species is different from any other known Microphallus spp. Based on the morphology of metacercariae and adult flukes, we describe this specimen as a new species, Microphallus koreana n. sp.

This paper focuses on the sequences between game performance, game experience, game generation. Present-day the game has powerful effects to form new human species as game generation. Especially, the experience game is important because it could have one of the most powerful effect by characteristics of own interface. First of all, this paper analyzes a experience of the experience game and researches the game-extended space. Secondly, We create concept of 'new game generation' in order to explain new human species on the experience game. So we can reveal the social meaning of accelerated present state by the experience game through this new analysis.

In a faunal survey of the Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) from Is. Ulleung-do in the East Sea of Republic of Korea, one species of Gelechiidae, Bagdadia gnomia Ponomaranko, is reported for the first time from Korea and an unknown species of the genus Bryotropa was discovered. In addition, eight species of Gelechiidae including a little known species, Dichomeris anisacuminata Li & Zheng, were first recorded from Is. Ulleung-do. Images of adults and genitalia for the newly recorded species and a little known species are provided.
