Eight species of Chironomidae (Diptera) which are new to Korea are described with illustrations. They are extremely rare species in Korea, as only one or two specimens have been collected since 1977 throughout the country. Microchironomus tener, Stictochironomus akizukii and Paratendipes nubilus belong to subfamily Chironominae, and the other five species: Diplocladius cultriger, Limnophyes minimus, Metriocnemus fulvofasciatus and Parametriocnemus stylatus belong to subfamily Orthocladiinae.

Chelonaplysilla supjiensis n. sp. belonging to family Darwinellidae was collected from Jejudo Island, Korea in 2008. C. supjiensis n. sp. is closely to C. noevus in surface structure and skeleton, but differ in surface, sandy reticulation mixed with many spicule detritus. This study is a new record of genus, family and order in Korea.

A single specimen of Neoclinus nudiceps, belongs to the family Chaenopsidae, was first collected from Hongdo Island, Yellow Sea of Korea on June 13, 2012. This species is characterized by a lateral line reaching to below the 3rd~4th spines of the dorsal fin, two pairs of supraorbital cirri arranged in one row, anterior supraorbital cirri with six tips, and posterior supraorbital cirri with one tip. The species is morphologically similar to N. monogrammus, but differs in the length of lateral line (reaching 3rd~4th dorsal spines in N. nudiceps vs. reaching 6th~9th dorsal spines in N. monogrammus, respectively). This study documents the first record of N. nudiceps in Korean waters and suggests the new Korean name "Jjalb-eun-teol-bi-neul-be-do-la-chi" for the species.

A single specimen (192 cm total length, TL) of the Pacific sleeper shark, Somniosus pacificus, belonging to the family Somniosidae, order Squaliformes, was firstly collected from the west margin of the East Sea, Korea in February 2008. This specimen was characterized by having interdorsal space, being less than the distance between the snout and first gill opening; and the distance between the snout and first dorsal fin origin more than 45% TL; head and body has overall dark brownish. The new Korean name "Jam-sang-eo-gwa" is proposed for the family Somniosidae, and "Jam-sang-eo-sok" for the genus Somniosus, and "Jat-bit-jam-sang-eo" for the species S. pacificus.

An unrecorded Orchid species, Habenaria dentata (Sw.) Schltr. (Orchidaceae), was recognized in Gahoe-myeon and Ssangchaek-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. H. dentata is closely related to H. radiata (Thunb.) Spreng., it can distinguished by sepal white and larger than petals, and serrated margins of the labellum. A new Korean name, 'Keun-hae-o-ra-bi-nan-cho', was given based on its taller stem and more flowers (at least with three) in comparison to H. radiata (Thunb.) Spreng. We provide here its redescription, illustrations, photographs, and a key to its closely related taxa.

A newly recorded species Caprella mutica Schurin, 1935 belonging to the family Caprellidae Leach, 1814 was collected from the East Sea, Korea. Caprella mutica is native to the north-east Asia but is a well-known cosmopolitan and invasive species in many areas. This species is morphologically highly similar to C. acanthogaster Mayer, 1890. However, it is distinguished from a combination of the characteristics of the head, pereonites 1-2, and gnathopod 2. In this study, the Korean C. mutica is fully illustrated based on the mature specimens and compared to C. acanthogaster.
