This study was carried out to offer the forensic entomological evidence to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) based on the decomposing state of the pig carrion and the arthropod succession in exposed carrion. A total of 48 species of 28 families belonging to 7 orders were collected, and dominant insect varied with season, i. e., the Calliphoridae in March, May and October, both of the Calliphoridae and the Staphylinidae in July, and the Staphylinidae in September. The Calliphoridae was the first visiting insect throughout all the seasons as well as the index insect dominant in the early decomposing stage. The index insect in the later decomposing stage, however, was the Staphylinidae throughout all the seasons except in March. In March, the Muscidae was dominant, presumably because the flies consistently arrived throughout the extended period of decomposition of the carrion owing to the low ambient temperature of the season. In this connection, it is known that not only the decomposition stage of the carrion and the carrion-associated insect but also the climatological condition of the region have to be taken into consideration to estimate the PMI.

The present study was carried out to evaluate arthropod predators (Araneae, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Formicidae) as bioindicator for forest disturbance. We selected 12 study sites according to disturbance intensities caused by fire intensity and recovery methods at Goseong, Gangneung, and Samcheok in Gangwondo. Intensities of disturbance were characterized as follows: 0 (no fire), 1 (surface fire), 2 (crown fire), and 3 (crown fire followed by reforestation). Arthropod predators were captured using pitfall trap. Species richness and abundance of Araneae, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Formicidae were not different along disturbance intensities. However, species richness and abundance of grassland ants significantly increased in higher disturbance intensities. Abundance of grassland ants such as Formica japonica and Camponotus japonicas linearly decreased along litter depth. Furthermore, ant communities were clustered along disturbance intensities. In a one-time survey, ants may be most useful as bioindicator for forest disturbance among the four predator taxa, because ants actively forage for long seasons.

Eight species of the genus Stenus Latreille are documented for the first time in Korea. Among them, three species, Stenus burjaetus Puthz, S. depressus Puthz and S. gibbicollis J. Sahlberg, are recorded for the first time in the Korean peninsula. And five species, S. coronatus coronatus L. Benick, S. decoratus L. Benick, S. koreanus Puthz, S. rugipennis Sharp and S. sharpi Bernhauer and Schubert, are newly recorded in South Korea. The adult photographs, illustrations of aedeagus and male sternite IX of them, and a taxonomic key of Korean Stenus species are presented.

Three species of Laboulbeniales were collected from the insects in Kwangju City and Pogil Island, Korea, and described : Corethromyces shazawae Majewski et Sugiyama were observed on Ochthephilum densipenne (Sharp) (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), Herpomyces periplanetae Thaxter on Blatta orientalis(L.) (Blattaria, Blattidae), and Rhachomyces philonthinus Thaxter on Philonthus micanticollis Sharp (Coleoptera.Staphylinidae). Also, the morphological features of these three spe­cies were described in the detailed.

The tribe Quediini from Korea is examined. One new species, Velleius circumipectus, and one new subspecies, Quedius japonicus sachonensis, are described, and four species, Heterothops rotundiceps, Q. japonicus (s. str.), Q. simulans, and V. setosus, are recorded firstly in Korea. As a result, Korean fauna of the tribe Quediini comprises 10 species and one subspecies belonging to three genera.
