Two species of the subgenus Exosyntretus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae) in the genus Syntretus are reported from Korea in this study. Among them, Syntretus (Exosyntretus) nevelskoii Belokobylskij is new to Korea. The world checklist, diagnosis and distribution data are included.

We isolated endophytic fungal strains from the leaves of Abies koreana growing in Korea. The fungal strains were identified as Coleophoma parafusiformis and Coniochaeta ligniaria, based on morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region and large subunit region of ribosomal DNA. These species have not been previously reported in Korea. In this study, we report the morphological characteristics and results of phylogenetic analysis of the two novel fungal strains.

We isolated endophytic fungi from the leaves of woody plants inhabiting the Ulleungdo Island and Yeosu in South Korea. The fungal strains were identified based on their morphological characteristics in conjunction with phylogenetic analysis, which was performed using sequences of the internal transcribed spacer, large subunit rDNA, and β-tubulin DNA. We confirmed the presence of Neofusicoccum mangiferae and Thyronectria cucurbitula, two endophytic fungal species that had not been previously recorded in Korea. In this report, we describe the morphological characteristics of these fungal strains and results of the DNA-based phylogenetic analysis.

We isolated endophytic fungi from the coniferous leaves of Abies koreana and Taxus cuspidata inhabiting Mt. Hallasan, Korea. The isolated fungal strains were identified based on a phylogenetic analysis using nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region, large subunit region of ribosomal DNA, and translation elongation factor region. Results confirmed four prevously unreported endophytic fungi in Korea: Lachnellula hyalina, Ochrocladosporium elatum, Phacidium lacerum, and Phyllosticta cussoniae. In this report, we describe the morphological characteristics of these fungi and the results of the phylogenetic analysis.

Helicotylenchus clarkei Sher, 1966 and Rotylenchus usitatus Van den Berg et Heyns, 1974 were newly found in Korea from medicinal plant collection field in Gyeongbuk Agricultural Technology Administration, Daegu, Korea. So far, 9 species of Rotylechus (R. usitatus) and 8 species of Helicotylenchus (H. belli, H. cavenessi, H. clarkei, H. digonicus, H. dihystera, H. erythrinae, H. paraplatyarus, H. pseudorobustus) are recorded in Korea.

We isolated endophytic fungi from Smilax china and Cryptomeria japonica. These fungal strains were identified based on their morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of their internal transcribed spacer, large subunit rDNA, and translation elongation factor 1-α DNA. Among them, we discovered two fungi belonging to the genus Phyllosticta, which have not been previously recorded in Korea. We have described these two fungal strains, Phyllosticta ericarum 19E458 and Phyllosticta philoprina 19E012 in this study.

The genus Brachydeutera Loew, 1862 comprises a small group of Acalyptratae flies belonging to the subfamily Ephydrinae of the family Ephydridae. So far, 16 described species have been recorded worldwide, and although the genus occurs in all fauna regions, it is most diverse in the subtropics and tropics, particularly in Africa and Asia. This genus has been recorded for the first time in the Korean fauna based on the discovery of a nominated species, B. meridionalis (Rondani, 1856). This paper provides the diagnosis, the morphological features, and an ecological photograph of the first recorded species.

Six unrecorded click beetles of Elateridae are reported in Korea for the first time as follows: 1) Lacon altaicus ($Cand{\acute{e}}ze$, 1882) in Agrypnidae; 2) Diacanthous undulatus DeGeer, 1774, 3) Liotrichus ligneus ($Cand{\grave{e}}ze$, 1879), 4) Aplotarsus imperceptus Gurjeva, 1987, 5) Prosternon aurichalceum Stepanov, 1930, and 6) Anostirus (Anostirus) castaneus castaneus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Denticollinae. Among them, three genera, Diacanthous, Liotrichus, and Aplotarsus, are also recorded for the first time. The previously recorded sepcies, Prosternon tessellatum Linnaeus, 1758 is suggested to be excluded from the Korean fauna by a misidentification of P. aurichalceum.

Two species of Argyresthia, A. subrimosa Meyrick and A. umbrina Liu, Wang et Li are reported for the first time from Korea. The collecting data show that A. subrimosa occurs in two remote islands, Ulleungdo and Jejudo in the country. These two local populations are compared with each other in external and genital morphology. Argyresthia umbrina is first recorded outside the type country, China. Photographs of the habitus and genitalia are provided for the two species treated here.
