Pyrgotidae is a small acalyptrate family including about 370 species worldwide and little attention has been given to their systematics until recently. Latest changes in taxonomic status of some of the Korean species made this review inevitable. In the present study, the Korean pyrgotid species are reviewed with discussion of their taxonomic status. We also provide a revised key to all 14 Korean species (seven Adapsilia, three Eupyrgota, two Parageloemyia, one Porpomastix, and one Tephritopyrgota species) supplemented by digital images to facilitate accurate identification.

To use the precise scientific name of the genus Gymnogobius from Korea, a taxonomic review of the genus Gymnogobius was made based on specimens collected in streams and estuaries of Korea from 1982 to 2007. The genus Gymnogobius in Korea includes 7 species: Gymnogobius breunigii (Steindachner), G. heptacanthus (Hilgendorf), G. macrognathos (Bleeker), G. mororanus (Jordan and Snyder), G. opperiens Stevenson, G. petschiliensis (Rendahl), G. urotaenia (Higendorf). A key to species of the genus Gymnogobius from Korea is provided, with description of their morphological characteristics and their distribution.

A taxonomic review of the Korean Lycocerus (Cantharidae, Coleoptera) was presented. Through this study, total of four species were found from Korea including a species new to Korea, Lycocerus striatus. We newly provided a key to the Korean Lycocerus species and the distributional map on each species in this study.

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.

Lynceid conchostracans of the order Laevicaudata in East Asia are reviewed. Validity of the three older species, Lynceus mandsuricus Daday, Lynceus biformis (Ishikawa), and Lynceus dauricus Thiele, is examined and discussed. Two species among them were acknowledged but L. dauricus was synonymized to L. biformis and redescribed and illustrated in the present paper, based on the materials collected from the rice-fields at 15 localities in Korea.

A taxonomic review of the genus Mocyta Mulsant & Rey in Korea is presented. The genus is represented in Korea by three species including Mocyta jani Lee & Ahn, sp. nov. and M. vivida (Sharp), comb. nov. A key to Korean species, descriptions, habitus photographs and illustrations of the diagnostic characters are provided.

The snailfishes (Scorpaenoidei: Liparidae) is a large group requiring taxonomic reviews because of a potential taxonomic confusion due to its great similarity in external morphology between species and a variation of its body color with size. Molecular phylogeny and taxonomic review were conducted for 10 species in 3 genera reported around the Korean waters, which facilitate understanding interrelationship within its family, and further management of fisheries resources. Molecular phylogeny using mitochondrial COI (mtCOI) and nuclear RAG2 (nRAG2) sequences indicates that the reciprocal monophyly of the three genera (Careproctus, Crystallichthys, and Liparis) were supported except Crystallichthys matsushimae, being closely related to Careproctus notosaikaiensis in only mtDNA COI topology. Liparis ingens Gilbert and Burke (1912) was reported as a distinct species differing from L. ochotensis. However, in the present study, comparing L. ingens from Korea with L. ochotensis from Japan and Russia, the two species were well corresponded in their morphology and molecule, therefore, we suggest L. ingens to be treated as a junior synonym of L. ochotensis.

A taxonomic review of the genus Leiognathus was made based on specimens collected from the coast of Korea from 1997 to 2004. The genus Leiognathus in Korea includes 6 species: Leiognathus elongatus, L. fasciatus, L. lineolatus, L. nuchalis, L. rivulatus, and L. bindus. Leiognathus bindus is reported for the first time in Korea. It is characterized by having bright orange spots between the 2nd and 5th spines of the dorsal fin. Detailed morphological measurements and counts and a key to species of Leiognathus from Korea are provided.

The taxonomic review of the family Triglidae was made based on the specimens collected from the south-western coasts of Korea from 1986 to 1999. The family Triglidae from Korea was classified into 10 species belonging to 3 genera: Pterygotrigla hemisticta, Chelidonichthys kumu, Lepidotrigla, japonica. L. guentheri, L. alata, L. kishinouyei, L. kanagashira, L. microptera, L. hime and L. abyssalis. Of them, L. kanagashira was reported for the first time in South Sea of Korea. A key to species of the family Triglidae from Korea was provided, with description of their morphological characteristics and their distribution.

Myelochroa (Asahina) Elix & Hale is a common foliose lichen genus found on the Korean Peninsula. Since it was first recorded nearly two decades ago, no detailed taxonomic or revisionary study of the genus has been conducted. Thus, the current study was conducted to carry out a detailed taxonomic and revisionary study of Myelochroa in South Korea. This study was based on specimens deposited in the Korean Lichen Research Institute (KoLRI). Detailed taxonomic studies and a literature review confirmed the presence of twelve species of Myelochroa from S. Korea, including one new record, Myelochroa xantholepis (Mont. & Bosch) Elix & Hale. Descriptions of each species with their morphological, anatomical and chemical characters together with a key to all known Myelochroa species are presented.
