Genetic relatedness of medically important Exophiala species such as E. dermatitidis, E. mansonii, and three E. jeanselmei varieties: jeanselmei, lecanii-corni, and heteromorpha was examined using PCR-RFLP(restriction fragment length polymorphism) of ribosomal DNA, M-13, $(GTG)_5$ and nucleotide sequences of ribosomal ITS(internal transcribed space) II regions. Three E. jeanselmei varieties showing distinct band patterns for each DNA markers as well as different nucleotide sequences of ribosomal ITS II regions could be considered as a separate species. E. dermatitidis and E. mansonii demonstrated the identical band patterns of RFLP of ribosomal DNA, M-13, and $(GTG)_5$ markers. However, nucleotides sequences of ribosomal ITS II region were different between these two species.

From April to May 1967 3,275 Korean native cattle slaughtered at Taegu public slaughter house were investigated for infection rate of faciola and 222 adult fasciola species taken from the bile duct, of the patients were examined for morphological study. The results were as follows: 1. Among 3,275 Cattle 1,099 Cattle (32.5%) were infected with fasciola species. 2. Seasonal changes of infection rate were 34.7%(Winter). 33.2%(Spring), 30.9%(fall) and 29.1%(Summer). 3. Three different species(large, small and intermediate type) of fasciola were detected from the patients. These large, small and intermediate types were identified morphologically with fasciola gigantica, fasciola hepatica and fasciold indica respectivelly. Distribution of these three kind, were 52.4%(intermediate type), 28.4%(Small type) and 19.0%(large type).

Three mitochondrial cDNA probes from Aedes albopictus were used to demonstrate restriction site polymorphism in mtDNA of three sibling species of Anopheles quadrimaculatus(Say). It was shown by DNA hybridization to have substantial sequence homology betwen the mtDNA of different genus. The proves reveled local restriction site variation between members of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus sibling species complex. Mitochondrical DNA (mtDNA), isolated from individual mosquitoes was digested by type II restriction enzymes and four enzymes were found to be useful for the purpose. Hind III alone could be used to obtain a diagnostic restriction pattern.

The specimens belonging to the family Biphyllidae were collected at Mt. Baekun-san (Nonsil and Hanjae), Jeollanam-do with Lindgren funnel traps from May to August, 2015. Through this study, we report seven species of the genus Biphyllus including three newly recorded species; B. aequalis (Reitter), B. flexuosus (Reitter) and B. kuzurius Sasaji. We herein present the key to the identification of species of the Korean Biphyllidae and illustrations of diagnostic characteristics of them.

Three species which belong to two genera of the Laboulbeniales were collected on Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) and Carabidae (Coleoptera) from south Korea. Occurrence of these species has not been recorded in Korea. They are Chitonomyces orientalis Thaxter on Laccophilus lewisius sharp, Chitonomyces zonatus Thaxter on Laccophilus lewisius sharp and Laboulbenia gebleri Terada on Haplochlaenius constiger Chaudoir. Major characters of the three species are described and illustrated.

Penicillium is the most common fungal genus in various terrestrial and marine environments. The number of new and unrecorded Penicillium species from various substrates and habitats are continuously increasing. As part of a project to discover indigenous fungi in South Korea, three unrecorded Penicillium species were isolated from mudflats and seaweeds. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of β-tubulin and calmodulin loci, they were identified as P. amaliae, P. infrabuccalum, and P. manginii. Here, we provide a detailed morphological description and sequence information of these previously unrecorded species.

Three new species of Myzomolgus are described as associates of sipunculans from a tidal flat in Phuket, Thailand. As diagnostic features, Myzomolgus leptocercosus n. sp. has elongate caudal rami which are 10.7 times longer than wide, 5 setae and a conical process on the first antennular segment, an armature formula 1, 0, 1+sucker, and 6 of antenna, and an inner coxal seta on all swimming legs. Myzomolgus spatulatus n. sp. lacks a rostrum, but bears 4 setae and a spatulate process on the first antennular segment, an armature formula 0, 0, 2+sucker, and 6 of the antenna, the inner coxal seta on legs 1-3, and 5 armture elements on the third endopodal segment of legs 1-3. Myzomolgus cucullatus n. sp. has short caudal rami which are 1.60 times longer than wide, a broad, hood-like tergite of fouth pedigerous somite, 4 setae only on the first antennular segment, the armature formula 0. 0. 2+sucker, and 6 of the antenna, and no iiner coxal seta on the swimming legs.

The family Araneidae is a group of orb-weaving spiders and is one of the most diverse groups among the order Araneae. Eighty-one species belonging to 25 genera have been recorded in Korea to date. In this study, four araneid spiders in three genera, viz., Araneus mayumiae, Araneus ogatai, Cyclosa onoi, and Plebs baotianmanensis, were discovered for the first time in Korea. Additionally, Plebs yebongsanensis is removed from synonymy of Plebs sachalinensis, and treated as a new junior synonym of P. baotianmanensis, based on a morphological comparison of females of three Plebs species. Detailed descriptions of four species are provided with accompanying photographs.

Species of the genus Eopompilus Gussakovskij, 1932 from South Korea are reviewed. Three species are confirmed: E. internalis, E. luteus, and E. minor. Eopompilus luteus is recorded for the first time in Korea, and is easily separated from its congers by markedly extensive coloration and comparatively large body size in both sexes. Females are characterized by yellowish wing, light brown stigma and veins, lacking of subapical or apical dark fascia on forewing. Males are characterized by serrate antenna formed by submesal convex on each flagellomeres 2-11, symmetrical claws of fore tarsus, hypopygium widened basally and forming a rhomboid plate, lacking of dark fasciae in forewing. The specimen identified as Cryptocheilus nicevilli Bingham from Korea by Kim (1970) is examined and is reclassified as conspecific with E. luteus. A key is presented of the three species complemented by digital images and diagnosis.

Three new species of Kelleria are described based on the females from the invertebrate burrows in the Port Seogwipo, Jeju Island, Korea. These species possess in common no process on the inner margin of the free segment of leg 5. Kelleria grandisetiger n. sp. possesses a large seta on lateral sides of the genital double-somite and a small thumb-like process near base of the free segment of leg 5. Kelleria undecidentata n. sp. possesses the elongated free segment of leg 5 which is more than four times as long as wide and 11 teeth on the distal margin of the second maxillary segment. Kelleria portiviva n. sp. possesses one seta and one distinct spine on the distal margin of the free segment of leg 5, ten or 11 teeth on the distal margin of the second maxillary segment, and a tuft of spinules on the convex outer comer of mandible.
