Occurrence of the oak wilt disease (Raffaelea sp.) was confirmed in 2004 for the first time in Korea. By using pictorial keys, morphological characteristics of Platypus koryoensis (Murayama), a vector for this disease in Korea, was compared to Platypus quercivorus (Murayama), a vector of oak wilt in Japan. Additionally, suggestions were made for the future research of the vector of oak wilt disease in the northeastern Asia.

The clustering analysis and comparison of male genitalia of Silpha perforata complex were carried out to decide the taxonomic status of the population from Jejudo Is., Korea. One hundred and five individuals from Korea, Japan, and China were examined for the present study. Based on the result, the population of Jejudo Is. was treated as intraspecies of Silpha perforata with a morphological variation.
