Dinoflagellates were investigated from the coastal waters of Korea. The total 100 thecate dinoflagellates taxa, comprising of 93 species five varieties and two forms were identified, which were attributed to four orders nine families, 13 genera in Korean coastal waters. 22 species, two varieties and two forms were new to Korean waters. Ceratium arcticum, C. longirostrum, C. praelongum, C. tripos var. ponticum, Gonyaulax jollifei, G. pavillardii, Protoperidinium cassum cassum, P. conicum f. asamushi, P. depressum var. parallelum, P. elegans f. granulatum, P. globifera, P. incognitum, P. majus, P. mite, P. obtusum, P. pallidum daedalum, P. parvum, P. perplexum, P. pyriforme pyriforme, P. pyrum, P. sphaeroides, P. subsphericum, P. valgus, P. venustum, Diplopsalopsis orbicularis, Gotoius abei were new record species for Korea.

Herein, we report a new record of Notodontidae moth, Neodrymonia marginalis (Matsumura) in Korea. This species is characterized by grayish forewing that shows thick dark grayish band between basal and antemedial line, smooth postmedial line costally with blackish crescent line, dark grayish subtermen with dark brownish thick band costally, and whitish and black dot shaped discal dot. The female genitalia can be distinguished by the broad, plate-shaped postvaginalis, strongly sclerotized ductus dursae with three long spike shaped and several small spike shaped processes, and large, ovate corpus bursae with a large fan-shaped plate signum. Neodrymonia marginalis can be distinguished from N. deliana by the shape and color of the costal part of postmedial line and subtermen of forewing. The female genitalia of N. marginalis can be distinguished from those of N. deliana by the rectangular postvaginalis and more spike like processes of the anterior of ductus bursae. Up to now, four species of Neodrymonia are recorded in Korea: N. delia (Leech, 1889), N. coreana Matsumura, 1922, N. deliana Gaede, 1933, and Neodrymonia marginalis.

Fifteen gobids specimens first collected from the southern coastal waters of Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, were identified as the Suruga fundicola from Korea. The species, representing a new Korean record, is characterized by having VII-I, 16~17 dorsal fin rays, I, 15~16 anal fin rays, 37~42 lateral line scales, notably large eye and narrow interorbital space, scaleless cheek and opercle, no babel, teeth rather strong, and 6~7 dusky spots on sides. A new Korean name, "Keun-nun-mangduk-sok" and "Keun-nun-mang-duk" is proposed for the genus and species, respectively.

A single bothid specimen (113.9 mm in standard length) was collected by bottom trawl from southern Jejudo Island, Korea. It was easily identified as Kamoharaia megastoma (Kamohara, 1936), based on extremely large mouth. The species is characterized by maxillary extending beyond eyes, three pairs of long curved canines on lower jaw, tip of vomer projecting into mouth cavity, blackish pectoral fin, and blind side without lateral line. We described it as the first record to Korean fish fauna, and proposed the new Korean name, "Keun-ip-dung-geul-neop-chi" for this species.

Talipariti simile (Blume) Fryxell, Malvaceae is reported as new record from Vietnam. The plant can be differentiated from its allied species T. macrophyllum (Roxb. ex Hornem.) Fryxell in having glabrescent stems with purplish and smaller hairs, lanceolate-oblong and smaller stipules and ovoid capsules which are devoid of apicule or beaks. Taxonomic description, line drawing and color photographs have been provided to add to the species identification. Furthermore, comparison of the diagnostic characters between this species and the above mentioned related species is made.

Based on three scorpionfish specimens (131.8~163.4 mm SL) collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, we described Scorpaenopsis neglecta as the first record from Korea. They were characterized by having 12 dorsal fin spines, lacking of palatal teeth and of black pigment between the first and third dorsal fin spines, wider interorbital region than orbital diameter, no median interorbital ridge, uppermost opercular spine with multicusps, and a broad blackish band distally and numerous various sized black spots on inner side of pectoral fin. We proposed a new Korean name, "Ssol-chi-u-reug" for the species.

Six specimens of Bathygobius hongkongensis were collected for the first time from the eastern coast of Jeju Island, Korea, in September-November 2017. This species is characterized by a pectoral fin with free rays and the division of the first dorsalmost pectoral free ray into three branches; a lower jaw with a mental frenum; and an anterior nostril with a tiny flap. Bathygobius hongkongensis is similar to B. fuscus but differs in having more dorsalmost free pectoral fin rays. The new Korean name proposed for B. hongkongensis is "Nam-bang-mu-nui-mang-duk."

The genus Microplitis (Braconidae: Microgastrinae) is reported for the first time from Korea. The Microplitis has often quite small hypopygium, very short ovipositor and rugose propodeum with large aleola. The genus contains 190 described species, among them 19 speceis were recorded in Korea. Microplitis varicolor was established by Viereck in 1917. The species is found as new to Korea in this study. Microplitis varicolor is endoparasitoid, especially attacking species of Noctuidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) including pests of leguminous crop. In this study, diagnosis, photographs and host lists are included.

Hypsicera has been reported six species from South Korea. In this study, we reviewed 13 species of South Korean Hypsicera including seven newly recorded species from South Korea. Female of H. brevicornis and H. nigribasis are reported for the first time from South Korea since first record. Additionally, H. incarinata and H. yoshimoboi are reported new to China. We provide diagnoses of six newly recorded species and descriptions of two new females. We also provide photographs of key characters of seven newly recorded species and a key to 13 species of South Korean Hypsicera.
