Herein, we report a new record of Arna bipunctapex (Hampson) and a new species, Euproctis fulvatus sp. nov. in Korea; both are Lymantriine moths. Arna bipunctapex is distinguished by a relatively large wingspan with two black dots and a small dot between these black dots in the apical region of a yellowish forewing. The male genitalia of A. bipunctapex can be distinguished by the lack of a process on the sacculus of valva while the female genitalia can be distinguished by an antrum that is basally flat with two lateral digitate arms. Euproctis fulvatus is distinguished by yellowish wings with a medially curved central fascia of the forewing. The male genitalia can be distinguished by the bifid, digitate uncus and the simple, square-shaped valva with a distal strong invaginated margin. The female genitalia can be distinguished by the long, medially twisted, ductus dursae with simple antrum posteriorly strongly sclerotized and ovate corpus bursae without signum. Larvae of E. fulvatus are distinguished by a black head with a pair of long, black, lateral tufts, dorsum with 10-11 white intersegmental dots and bright red setal warts on T2-A8, and bright red glands on A6 and A7.

The Committee has, for the 9th consecutive year, compiled statistics of embryos collected and transferred worldwide. Geographically, all regions have participated in the survey; however, there are still some places where it has been impossible to retrieve such data (particularly in Asia). The statistics, therefore, are partially underestimated. By contrast, in other areas, the system has proven to be more efficient than before, particularly in North and South America. This has resulted in the present report, which gives a somewhat more satisfactory picture of the current situation of the ET industry. For the second year, it has also been possible to collect data for several species other than cattle. In cattle, the number of in vivo-derived embryos collected and transferred has once again increased with more than half a million embryos trans-ferred in 1999(520,712), a new record. The number of bovine in vitro-produced embryos has remained stable this year as compared with the previous year(approximately 30,000 embryos transferred). However, there are still teams that have not Yet reported their data. More than 10,000 embryos in each of the ovine and caprine species and close to 2,000 cervid embryos were reported transferred in 1999. Some 500 embryos of the equine species and a few thousand in the porcine and rabbit species have also been transferred in 1999. It is concluded that the ET industry continues to be very active, and, in many species, it encompasses a larger segment of the livestock population overall, which is to the farmer s benefit.

The family Geometridae, which is one of the most species-rich taxa of Lepidoptera, includes more than 23,000 species worldwide and over 800 species in South Korea. Herein, we record six species of Geometridae for the first time in Korea. Jodis urosticta and Jodis amamiensis can be characterized by their greenish wings and strongly dentate ante- and postmedial lines on the fore and hindwings. These species can also be separated by the shape of the valva of the male genitalia. Pelagodes antiguadraria can be characterized by their greenish wings, whitish medial bands on the forewing and whitish postmedial line on the hindwing. Brabira kasaii can be characterized by the thick grayish band-shaped central fascia of their fore- and hindwings. Sauris marginepunctata can be characterized by the greenish ground color of the forewing, the dark ochreous medial bands and subterminal line and the grayish hindwing. Philereme vetulata can be characterized by their dark brownish wing color and the band-shaped central fascia of the forewing, as well as the medially projected postmedial line of the hindwing. Echthrocollix minuta can be characterized by their pale grayish wing color, brownish postmedial and subterminal lines and large discal dot.

Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are a group of marine organisms that inhabit oligotrophic subtropicaltropical photic zones, commonly possess relatively large shells (i.e., tests) with a complex internal structure and host photosynthetic endosymbionts. In this study, we provide a new report of a LBF species belonging to the genus Sorites Ehrenberg, 1839, with a brief description and images of the test. The sediment samples were collected by SCUBA diving from the east coast of Jeju Island (South Korea). The discoidal test shape and annular series of chamberlets with a single row of apertures surrounded by rim indicate that these specimens belong to the genus Sorites, and this is the first record of the genus in Korea. The arrangement of early chamberlets, septular disposition, and the aperture details suggest that the specimens can be assigned to Sorites orbiculus(Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775). Only three LBF species, including the present species, have been reported from Korean waters. The present study provides additional information for the evaluation of foraminiferal diversity including LBF in Korea and suggests the necessity of continuous investigations to understand the diversity of Sorites species in Korea.

A taxonomic survey of the dinoflagellate family Prorocentraceae Stein was conducted on 17 locations off the coast of Korea. This monograph is the result of the microscopic analyses. A total of eight species have been identified and described, of which Prorocentrum concavum Fukuyo is new record for Korea.

A female crab of Xenocarcinus conicus (A. Milne Edwards, 1865) was collected from Munseum, Jejudo Island. The genus Xenocarcinus is recorded newly in Korean brachyuran fauna. The present specimen has broader and shorter rostrum and eleven sharp teeth on the inner border of dactylus of the first ambulatory leg. Korean epialtid fauna now consists of eight species of four genera.

한국의 자생해조 발굴연구의 과정에서 털가시우무(Hypnea flagelliformis Greville ex J. Agardh)가 동해 연안에서 채집되었다. 본 종은 뚜렷한 주축, 잘록한 기부의 가지, 주축 및 가지에 밀생하는 다수의 짧은 소지가 있으며, 수세포 벽에 원형질 비후가 없다는 점이 특징적이다. 털가시우무는 한국산 미기록종으로 본 연구에서 처음으로 보고된다.

Adults of Chironomidae were collected at Soyang river sites in Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do on 1 August and 14 September in 2008, and 1 May in 2009. A total of 794 adults were collected, consisting of 52 species, 23 genera, 4 subfamilies. Among them, 7 species were recorded in Korea for the first time, and 9 species were new to science. These 7 previously unrecorded and 9 new species are described with illustrations. Eight species still have not been identified. The subfamily Prodiamesinae and four genera: Demicryptochironomus, Parakiefferiella, Psectrocladius and Monodiamesa are the first record in Korea. Tanytarsus seohyoni n. sp. was the most dominant species, consisting of 24.6% of the total samples.

Six new species of the genus Enalcyonium are described as parasites of octocorals of New Caledonia. They are Enalcyonium lobophyti, E. humesi, E. caledonensis, and E. auriculatum from the alcyonacean Lobophyton schoedei Moser, E. capillatum from the gorgonacean Rumphella antipathes (L.), and E. bullatum from the gorgonacean Siphonogorgia variabilis (Hickson). This is the first record on the species of Enalcyonium from the South Pacific.
