Six Korean species of the tribe Campsomerini are taxonomically reviewed: Campsomeriella annulata, Megacampsomeris grossa matsumurai, M. prismatica, M. uchidai, M. schulthessi, M. stoetzneri. Of these, M. grossa matsumurai and M. stoetzneri are new to Korea. A key to Korean genera and species, diagnostic characteristics and digital images are also provided.

Nemoura phasianusa n. sp. is similar to Nemoura jezoensis in general morphology especially lateral view, but can be distinguished by the combination of the characters of the epiproctal shape whose apex is depressed medially, and sclerites of epiproct, which look like question marks without dots.

Non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of influenza virus has been shown to inhibit the innate immune response by blocking the induction of interferon (IFN). In this study, we isolated two single-stranded RNA aptamers specific to NS1 with $K_d$ values of $1.62{\pm}0.30nM$ and $1.97{\pm}0.27nM$, respectively, using a systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment (SELEX) procedure. The selected aptamers were able to inhibit the interaction of NS1 with tripartite motif-containing protein 25 (TRIM25), and suppression of NS1 enabled retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I) to be ubiquitinated regularly by TRIM25. Additional luciferase reporter assay and quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) experiments demonstrated that suppression of NS1 by the selected aptamers induced IFN production. It is noted that viral replication was also inhibited through IFN induction in the presence of the selected aptamers. These results suggest that the isolated aptamers are strongly expected to be new therapeutic agents against influenza infection.

본 연구는 한국산 해산 태충류에 관한 연구의 일환으로서 1970년부터 1988년까지 남한의 삼면 연안과 ㄷ서지방에서 채집되어 이화여자대학교 생물학과에 보관되어 있던 재료와 본인들이 직접 채집한 재료들을 동정 분류한 것이다. 그 결과 12과 18속 25종의 유낭류가 밝혀졌으며 이 중에서 9종은 한국미기록종이었다.

이 연구는 1980년 7월부터 1991년 11월까지 한국의 동해연안과 남해연안 및 도서지방의 29개 지역에서 채집된 염주발갯지렁이류를 동정 분류한 것이다. 그 결과 5속 8종의 염주발갯지렁이가 밝혀졌으며, 이 중 4종(Haplosyllis spongicola, Opisthosyllis brunea, O. viridis, Parasphaerosyllis ezoensis)은 한국에서 처음으로 보고되는 종으로서, 이들 미기록종에 대하여 상세한 기재를 하고 그림을 그렸다. 표본들은 이화여자대학교 생물과학과에 보관중이다.

Family Coleophoridae, commonly known as "casebearers", is one of the largest families of Gelechioidea (Lepidoptera), with more than 1,450 described species worldwide, but it has been poorly known in Korea, with only 32 known species of the genus Coleophora Hübner, 1822. Here we present Coleophora fasciella Koo & Baldizzone, sp. nov., a new species to science, and C. mayrella (Hübner, [1813]), an unrecorded species in Korea. Diagnostic characteristics with descriptions of the genitalia are provided with photos of adults, wing venations, and genitalia of both sexes for the species. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COI) barcode sequences for the two species are also provided.
