To confirm the taxonomic identity of taxa described by $L{\acute{e}}veill{\acute{e}}$, H. H. A, a French plant taxonomist, in the serial papers of Decades plantarum novarum based on the collections of Fathers Faurie and Taquet from the Korean peninsula, we examined the numerous references that contained taxonomic opinions about $L{\acute{e}}veill{\acute{e}}^{\prime}s$ taxa. Among them, 146 taxa were confirmed as conspecific with other existing taxa. Of them, 79 taxa, including Ajuga devestita, were listed as a synonym of only one species. Sixty-seven taxa, including Bidens robertianifolia, were listed as synonyms of two or more species according to taxonomists. Eight taxa, including Aconitum coreanum, were considered illegitimate names because of later homonym, or other problems. Five taxa, including Rhododendron hallaisanense, were treated either as distinct or conspecific taxa depending on taxonomists.

The gudgeon, Microphysogobio tungtingensis uchidai, originally described by Banarescu and Nalbant in 1973 is reduced to a junior synonym of M. yaluensis based on the 5 type specimens in the USNM. Confusion on the taxonomic position of Microphysogovbio t. uchidai seems to have resulted from the inadequate description of the papillae of the upper lip and the reference to the small specimens.

Through taxonomic survey of specimens collected from the coasts of Korea from 1993 to 2006, Dimorphostylis echinata $Gam{\hat{o}}$, 1962 is new to Korean cumacean fauna. Especially, the adult male and female of D. echinata are described for the first time. Dimorphostylis sculpturensis Vassilenko and Tzareva, 1990 is proposed as a synonym of D. acroplicata Harada, 1960 in this research. Also, its female is redescribed for the first time in Korea.

Aconitum kaimaense Uyeki & Sakata was first collected by Uyeki & Sakata at Bujeon Plateau in Hamgyongnam-do and reported as a new species and recorded in Enumeration of Korean Plants (Pak, 1949). A. kaimaense was taxonomically treated under the name of Aconitum jaluense Kom in A Revision of Aconitun Subgenus Aconitum (Ranunculaceae) of East asia. (Kadota, 1987), and it was also treated as synonym in Korea(1996, 2007, 2011). A. kaimaense has erect or apically slightly curved stem, dense corymb inflorescence, pubescent pedicels, yellowish white sepals and carpels 5(or 4) pubescent. In this study, to investigate the taxonomic location of A. kaimaense, we conducted literature observation, sample observations in KYO, TNS, KH, SNU, SKK, and field research in Korea. The distribution in Hongcheon, Pyeongchang, Jeongseon, and Yangyang of Gangwon-do was confimed.

A taxonomic review of four Myotis species (M. formosus tsuensis , M. macrodactylus, M. daubentonii ussuriensis and M. nattereri bombinus) belonging to the Vespertilionidae was carried out. based on the external and skeletal (cranium, mandible and humerus ) morphology. The queston whether M. nattereri inhabiting Korea and eastern Siberia is a good separate subspecies (M. nattereri amurensis ) or a synonym of M. nattereri bombinus has remained unsolved. Through a detaile dexaminatin of Koreaan and Japanese speciemens, the author follows the concept of Wallin (1969) who has regarded M. nattereri amurensis as a synonym for M. nattereri bombinus.

As the 5th series of the study on the family Lecithoceridae in Sri Lanka, 24 species of Timyra Walker including 5 new species, and 8 species of Doxogenes Meyrick including 3 new species, are recognized. Among them 4 species of Timyra Walker and 2 species of Doxogenes Meyrick, which were previously described from Sri Lanka, were not found during the study. Timyra praeceptrix Meyrick is synonimized with T. mendicella Walker, and T. stachyophora Meyrick wth T. orthadia Meyrick. Descrption of the new species, with illustrations of their genitalia are given.

We scrutinized the Korean taxonomic literature, with special focus on some nomenclatural points and four different cases were listed categorically. Several naked names (nomen nudum), invalidly published names, typographical and orthographical errors, incorrect use of hybrid names and authorship, and errors in the citation of the bibliographic references have appeared in newly published literature in Korea, due to misapplications of ICBN (International Code of Botanical Nomenclature). Although literature review and synonyms are imperative and essential elements of taxonomic study, many author citations tend to be copied from one publication to another without any confirmation of the original source. It is strongly recommended that scientists who have previously published careless work should be more careful, and they should be instructed to read original descriptions and to learn current practices in the code.

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.

The taxonomic revision of the family Mugilidae from Korea was made based on the fish specimens collected from the coasts of the Korea from July 1990 to July 1994. The family Mugilidae was classified into three species belonging to two genera: Mugil cephalus, Liza haematocheilus and Liza carinatus. Previousely Mugil japonicus reported as a species from Korea was confirmed into junior synonym of Mugil cephalus. based on the external and internal morphological characters. A new key to the genera and species of family Mugilidae was proposed and described their distribution in Korea.

Korean nannastacids have recorded only eight species belonging to genera Campylaspis and Cumella. In this paper, Nannastacus nyctagineus Gamȏ, 1962, is redescribed and illustrated as a new species of Korean fauna in this study for the first time. Korean female specimens of Nannastacus nyctagineus correspond well with the original description by Gamȏ, 1962 based on only female specimens. Gamȏ has described that new species, Nannastacus pruinosus could be distinguished from N. nyctagineus based on only male specimens. The Korean male specimens of N. nyctagineus undoubtedly match well with the description of N. pruinosus with the following common features: the surface of the carapace is covered with numerous granules; pereonites and pleonites have similar patterns of the teeth on dorsal surface; the proportion and armature of the dactylus of pereopod 2 is similar; the number and pattern arrangement of the setae on the surface in antenna 1, pereopod 1, and uropod are the all most same. Nannastacus pruinosus Gamȏ, 1962 is proposed as a synonym of N. nyctagineus described in this study. This represents the first record on the genus Nannastacus from Korea.
