The Palaearctic species of the genus Trathala Cameron are reviewed. Genus Trathala is the third largest group. This genus was described Trathala striata by Cameron for the first time in the world. One hundred one species of this genus have been recorded worldwide. Trathala flavoorbitalis Cameron and Trathala hierochontica (Schmiedeknecht) were recorded from Palaearctic. Here we report three species, Trathala flavoorbitalis Cameron, Trathala hierochontica (Schmiedeknecht) and Trathala striata Cameron, from Palaearctic region. Among them, Trathala striata Cameron is a newly recorded species for the first time from Palaearctic region and South Korea. Redescriptions of Palaearctic Tranthala species with photographs and a key to the Palaearctic Trathala species are provided.

The spider fauna of Namhai Island was investigated from 21 to 25 Aug 1998. As a result,81 species of 43 genera under 15 families were collected. Identified spiders are composed of 30.8% Palaearctic, 28.4% Palaearctic and Oriental, 6.1% Holarctic, 2.4% Oriental, and 3.7% Cosmopolitan species. Araneid, salticid and theridiid spiders appeared to be dominant among the spiders. Common species with Japan and China were 56(69.1%) AND 55 (67.1%) species, respectively.

The family Trogossitidae Latreille occurs worldwide, including some Pacific islands. The family contains about 50 genera and 600 described species, and the group was recently classified by Kolibáč into three subfamilies, Lophocaterinae, Peltinae and Trogossitinae. Among the lophocaterine genera, a genus Ancyrona Reitter includes 62 species in most parts of the world except the Nearctic region, and is divided into five informal species groups by Kolibáč. In this study, the genus Ancyrona and its a single species, A. diversa (Pic), is newly reported in the Korean fauna. A diagnosis, habitus photographs, and illustrations of female diagnostic characters are provided, with a key to Palaearctic species of the genus Ancyrona.

One of the small genera of the tribe Atrophini (subfamily Banchinae), the genus Amphirhachis, has been reported seven species in the world. Among them, four species (Amphirhachis fasciata, A. nigripalpis, A. rubriventris and A. tertia) from Oriental region, and four species(Amphirhachis fujiei, A. miyabi, A. nigra and A. tertia) from Eastern Palaearctic region. Unfortunately, there are no records in South Korea yet. This genus is easily distinguished from other genera of Atrophini following: clypeus strongly convex near side; posterior transverse carina of propodeum represented by a weak or faint vertical ridge at apex on each side; ovipositor sheath shorter than metasoma. In this study, the genus Amphirhachis is recorded for the first time with a newly recorded species (Amphirhachis tertia) from South Korea. New data on the taxonomy and distribution of Amphirhachis tertia are given. We also provide diagnosis and digital images of a newly recorded genus and species.

A new species, Monoblastus forsythia sp. nov. is described from South Korea. All specimens of this new species were collected on Forsythia koreana (Nakai). A taxonomic study of South Korean Monoblastus was initiated by Uchida in 1930, and until now four species have been recorded from South Korea. The genus Monoblastus is a Holarctic genus with 31 described species, 14 species are Nearctic, seven are Western Palaearctic region, and nine species occur in Eastern Palaearctic region. In the study, I provide description and photos of both sexes of this new species. Also, modified key to species of the South Korean Monoblastus is provided.

The family Curtonotidae, known as the Hunchbacked or Quasimodo fly, is a small group of acalyptrate flies belonging to the superfamily Ephydroidea. Until now, a total of 103 species under four genera have been recorded worldwide, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Among them, only five species of the genus Curtonotum Macquart, 1843 have been recorded in the Palaearctic region, mainly in the Russian Far East, but there are still no previous reports in the Korean fanua. In this study, we firstly report the family Curtonotidae Duda, 1934 from Korea with Curtonotum maritimum Ozerov, 2007. Additionally, we provide taxonomic information and a key for the Palaearctic Curtonotum species.

The authors investigated the spider fauna of Mt. Yebongsan from May 1994 to Aug. 1996. In this paper, 265 species from 21 genera, and 28 families were identified and compared with those from islands geographical with differing i.e., Is. Paikryung-do, Is. Chin-do, and Is. Ulrung-do distribution and climate. Spiders from 45 palaearctic regions(3.69%), 13 holarctic regions(1.06%), 4 oriental regions(0.32%) and 5 cosmopolitans(0.41%) are identified. Various methods were used for collecting specimens during the period including pitfall, beating, sweeping and looking up-down.
