A taxonomical examination of water mites collected at 2 localities in Chindo Island resulted in that they were composed of the following 7 species in 6 families and 6 genera: Hydrodroma despiciens despiciens (Miiller), Sperchonopsis verrucosa verrucosa (Protz), Torrenticola (Torrenticola) nipponica (Enami), Hygrobates (Hygrobates) longipalpis (Hermann), Unionicola (Unionicola) crassipes minor (Soar), Aturus glaberus Kim and Chung, and Bharatalbia (Japonalbia) ibarakiensis Imamura. Of these 4 taxa, Hydrodroma despiciens despiciens, Torrenticola nipponica, Hygrobates longipalpis, and Bharatalbia ibarakiensis were reported for the first time from Korea. A discussion about some facts deduced from the species composition and their distributions was also made.

About 6,950 fEather mites were isolated from field collections and examination of bird study skins at the zoological specimen room of Kon-Kuk University in Seoul. Among them, 3 species of Kramerellidae, Dermonoton longiventer (Megnln & Trouessart, 1884), Kramerella bubonis (Lonnfors, 1937) , Neopetitotcl bubonis Atyeo & Philips, 1984, and 1 species of Pterolichidae, EpopoLichn atelw Gaud, 1981 were newly recorded from Korea. They were redescribed with their new hosts.

In a survey of Tarsonemid mites associated with omamental trees, four Tarsonemus species unrecorded in Korea were identified in 1993. They ae Tarsonemus bilobatus Suski, 1965, T. evodiae Ito, 1964, T. smithi Ewing, 1939, and T. takaoensis Ito, 1964. Morphological characteristics of these 4 species are reported herein.

The present work was dealt with the twelve species of orbatid mites from leaves, stems and stubbles of rice( Oryza sativa L). Among them six species, that is, Protoribates agricola, Scheloribates decarinatus, Scheloribates oryzae, Sacculozets filosus, Punctoribates manzanoensis, and Paralamellobates ceylanica are new ones in Korea. The other species are Epilohmannia palida pacifica, Podorbates cuspidatus, Tricogaulumna nipponica, Peloribate sp., Scheloribates sp., Galumna sp.

This is the first recorded case of Sarcoptes scabiei in a Korean female raccoon confirmed by light and scanning electron microscopies. Grossly the skin on the abdomen head and legs was markedly thickened with alopecia and encrustation. histopathologically skin showed epidermal hyperplasia with spongiotic degeneration and parakeratosis. Ectoparasites were present in superficial and deep epidermal layers. Small numbers of leukocytes predominantly neutrophils were associated with the parasitic infestation. Scanning electron microscopy examination of affected skin scraping demonstrated round to oval parasitic mites measuring approximately 180 -250 x 220 - 350 um in size. The mites possessed four pairs of legs of which the two anterior pairs appeared relatively long with unjointed stalks while the two posterior leg pairs were rudimentary. these morphological features were consistent with Sarcoptes scabiei.

For the development of the specific pathogen free (SPF) or germ free laboratory animals, a parasitological approach was applied to the preliminarily selected laboratory albino mice (Mus musculus alba) in order to observe the ectoparasites on the hair of the host animal. The mites collected from the laboratory albino mice were identified as Myocoptes musculinus and classified into the Family Listrophoridae, Suborder Sarcoptiformes, Order Acarina. The overall infection rate of the mites was revealed as high as 73.2% (52 out of 71 heads) and the development process from the eggs to larvae was observed for the understanding of the basic ecological properties.

Resistance evolution to organophosphate-based pesticides in apple and pear inhabiting arthropods of western North America extends to many classes of pest and some beneficial species. Resistance management programs to minimize resistance in pests while exploiting it in natural enemies have met with mixed success. Among beneficials, resistances have been exploited mostly among predators of pest mites. Evolution of resistant mites, leafminers, leafhopper, aphids, leafrollers and some internal fruit feeders have led to development of new monitoring methods and means to delay or avoid resistance. But it is resistance to azinphosmethyl in codling moth (Cydia pomonella) that is changing the pest control system and moving it from chemical to biologically-based means. Newly merging IPM system will depend more on use of biological, cultural, behavior and genetic controls. But more selective pesticides also will be needed to augment pheromones, resistant host plants and genetically altered organisms. These more biologically-based tactics will be prone to resistance evolution in pests as well, if used too unilaterally and/or too extensively.

Eight species of the water mites of the genus Aturus are described from Korea. Five are new to science, and these are: A. multiclovus n. sp., A. kumariensis n. sp., A. multisetus n. sp., A. pilosus n. sp. and A parapilosus n. sp. In addition, A. caudatus and A. miyozakii are reported for the first time from this country. One unnamed species is also included. All the species are described on the basis of males.

Six species of the phytoseiid mites were recorded from the pear field of Naju District in Korea: Amblyseius womersleyi, A. eharai, A. orientalis, A. makuwa, A. bakeri and Proprioseiopsis nemotoi. Of these, A. bakeri and p. nemotoi were previously unrecorded in this field, and genus Proprioseiopsis is recorded for the first time in Korea.
