The genus Gonia (Diptera: Tachinidae) is revised for the Korean species. We recognize four previously known species (G. chinensis, G. divisa, G. foersteri, and G. klapperichi), three newly recorded species in Korea (G. distinguenda, G. olgae, and G. ussuriensis) and a species new to science (G. nigricoma Lee and Han, sp. nov.). We here provide a key, descriptions, photographs and illustrations. We also inferred the phylogenetic relationships of the representative Palaearctic species using cladistic method.

As a result of a taxonomic review of the tachinid genus Trigonospila Porkorny in Korea, we recognized two species: T. ludio (Zetterstedt) and T. transvittata (Pandell$\acute{e}$). The former species is reported for the first time in Korea. We here provide a key to the Korean species, redescriptions, photographs and illustrations.

In the process of revising the tachinid genus Linnaemya Robineau-Desvoidy in Korea, we have discovered two species for the first time in Korea. They closely resemble each other and need to be identified with caution. We here provide detailed redescriptions and illustrations with their diagnostic characters indicated. Linnaemya atriventris can be distinguished from L. hirtipennis by the combination of the following characteristics: 1) abdomen black in ground color; 2) wing vein R1 without setulose; 3) hypandrium without secondary posterior lobe; 4) male with antero-basal 1/3 of flagellomere 1 distinctly swollen; and 5) postgonite very weakly curved dorsally.

We recognized Linnaemya microchaetopsis Shima, L. picta (Meigen) and L. zachvatkini Zimin in Korean Linnaemya subgenus Ophina Robineau-Desvoidy and the latter two are reported for the first time in Korea. The subgenus Ophina shares the following morphological characteristics (sensu Shima): 1) the male tergite 6 is fused mid-dorsally with sternite 7+8; 2) the female tergite 6 and tergite 7 are almost always divided longitudinally into two hemitergites; 3) the female tergite 6 is always longer than the tergite 7; 4) circus parallel-sided in caudal view; 5) epiphallus present; and 6) pteropleural seta long, reaching posterior margin of lower calypter. We provide a key to the included Korean species, as well as descriptions and illustrations with their diagnostic characters indicated.

As a result of an ongoing systematic study of the genus Phasia Latreille in Korea, we have discovered P. aurigera and P. takanoi for the first time in Korea. We here provide detailed redescriptions and illustrations with their diagnostic characters indicated. Phasia aurigera can be distinguished from other congeners by the combination of the following characteristics: 1) scutum with distinct yellow pruinose spot; 2) male abdominal tergite 5 posteromarginally with V-shaped yellow pruinosity; 3) distiphallus divided into anterior and posterior processes; 4) female sternite 7 short, as long as or slightly longer than sternite 6 (visible part); and 5) female sternite 8 (ovipositor) bent dorsally. Phasia takanoi can also be distinguished by the combination of the following characteristics: 1) abdominal tergites strongly shiny; 2) surstylus strongly bent upward; and 3) posterior margin of female sternite 7 straight in ventral view.

Toxicity of several insecticides was tested against the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and adult Gymnosoma rotundatum (Diptera: Tachinidae) in a sweet persimmon orchard. H. halys was captured using black light traps and G. rotundatum adults were collected using sticky traps lured with an aggregation pheromone, methyl-(E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate of Plautia stali. Five insecticides, namely, bifenthrin 2 WP, buprofenzine+dinotefuran (20+15) WP, clothianidin 8 SC, dinotefuran 10 WP, and thiamethoxam 10 WP, were moderately toxic to G. rotundatum, resulting in 55.3% to 74.3% mortality. Bifenthrin 2 WP caused 93.1% mortality at 72 h within cages as a residual toxicity, and others caused varied mortalities.

Exposure of freshly laid eggs of Exorista bombycis (Louis) to volatiles emanating from bulbs of Allium sativum L. for different durations resulted in signigicant reduction in their hatchability. Maggots hatched from the eggs exposured for 64 h and 72 h were failed to emerge from host larvae. The duration of development stages of E. bombycis was prolonged besides reduction in rate of pupation and adult emergence as the egg exposure period increased. The findings are interpreted as the chronic effects of volatiles of garlic affecting maggots following developmental defects sustainable during embryonic development. The known major chemical components of A. sativum such as allicin, thioacrolein, ajoune, 2-propene sulfenic acid, 2-propene thiol and propylene were presumed to be responsible for the adverse consequences reported in this paper.

The present investigation was conducted to know the effects of host age on development and morphological characteristics of Nesolynx thymus, a gregarious ectopupal parasitoid of the uzi fly, Exorista bombycis, a serious en do-larval parasitoid of the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. For experimentation, 3 - 11 day-old pupae of E. bombycis were exposed to 2 day-old adults of N. thymus at $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C\;and\;60{\pm}10%$ RH. A highly significant negative correlation between host age and the following development and morphological characteristics of the parasitoid was observed: number of pupae parasitised, total adult recovery, sex ratio and recovery, longevity, body length, wing span, abdomen length, and abdomen width of females. The findings of the present study clearly demonstrate that various development and morphological parameters of N. thymus are influenced by the age of E. bombycis pupae.

Adding a non-fluorescent dye, Rhodamine-B, to the adult diet of uzi fly, Exorista bombysis (Louis) has shown to be a useful method for marking the eggs for flight range experiments. The method is timesaving and the dye is safe to handle and the marked eggs are easy to detect. Files fed on the diet added with dye did not have much negative effect on adult mortality and fecundity, but egg hatchability was affected.
