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.

Twenty four newly recorded and rarely known noctuid species from the Korean peninsula, which are preserved in domestic and foreign museums, are discussed in this article. Eleven species; Hypenodes curvilinea Sugi, Polydesma boarmoides (Guenee), Catocala bokhaica (Kononenko), Xanthomantis contaminata (Draudt), Craniophora harmandi (Poujade), Amphipyra acheron Draudt, Orthogonia tapaishana (Draudt), Chasminodes u.ssurica Kononenko, Oncocnemis campicola Lederer, Protomiselia bilinea (Hampson) and Xestia (Anomogyna) albonigra (Kononenko) are newly reported from the Korean peninsula. Among them, P. bilinea (Hampson), which has been known in Japan, is reported for the first time from the Continental Asia. The occurrence of Athetis pallidipennis Sugi, Pseudocosmia maculata Kononenko, Callopistria miracula Herz and Lacanobia dentata Kononenko are reconfirmed in Korea. Eudocyma salamina (Cramer) and Polydesma boarmoides Guenee are .considered to be tropical migrating species. A previously misidentified species, Hypenodes rectifascia Sugi is corrected as H. curvilinea Sugi.

Thirty-four species of the subfamily Plusiinae were recognized from the lepidopteran expeditions to Mt. Changbai during 2000-2004. Among them, six species (Abrostola ussuriensis Dufay, Polychrysia aurata (Staudinger), P. splendida (Butler), Lamprotes mikadina (Butler), Autographa amurica (Staudinger), and A. v-minus (Oberthur)) are reported for the first time from China. Three previously reported species Antoculeora ornatissima (Walker), Autographa nigrisigna (Walker), and Syngrapha hochenwarthi (Hochenwarth) were not found in this study, Photographic images of adults of the newly known species from China and their male or female genitalia are given, with a check list of the 37 known species of the subfamily in Mt Changbai.

Two species, Daulia afralis Walker and Herpetogramma cynaralis Walker, belonging to the family Crambidae, Lepdidoptera, are reported for the first time from Korea, based on the materials collected from Jeju Islands located in the southern part of the Korean peninsula. Both male and female genitalia were dissected and examined. Also, the photos of the external morphology, including the wing patterns, and genitalic characteristics of the two species are taken and redescribed briefly, including distributional ranges and available information. Taxonomic information and synonymies for the species were given and discussed.

Based on our insect collecting trip to the Is. Jin-do, Jeollanam-do Province from June 29 to July 1, 2005, a total of 573 lepidopterous species belonging to 37 families are reported, with adding 122 species new to the locality During our survey, the most dominant species was Cryptolechia malacobyrsa Meyrick (Oecophoridae), followed by Sandrabatis crassiella Ragonot (Pyralidae) and Yponomeuta tokyonellus Matsumura(Yponomeutidae), and the family Noctuidae (165 spp.) was the most diverse taxon in species number. We here also discuss the species representing the climatic feature in the island and compare the species diversity with those of other two major islands in Korea, Is. Geoje-do and Is. Jeju-do. Among the species recognized in this study, two species, Epilepia dentata (Matsumura and Shibata) and Meganola costalis (Staudinger) are recorded in Korea for the first time, in spite of the presence of previous notes on the species which is invalid. The adults and genitalia of the two species are illustrated and described briefly.

A cosmopterigid species, Alloclita mongolica Sinev is reported for the first time from Korea. This is the first record of the genus Alloclita Staudinger for the Korean fauna and the southernmost records of A. mongolica. The collecting data of the species in Korea suggest a habitat association of A. mongolica with coastal sand-dunes. The features of external appearance and male genitalia are described and illustrated for this rare species.

This paper reports new hosts for three ichneumonids (Apophua evanescens evanescens, Teleutaea minamikawai, and Trathala flavoorbitalis) from South Korea. These three species were discovered from the lepidopteran pupae, viz., Cleora leucophaea (Butler) (Geometridae), Adoxophyes honmai Yasuda (Tortricidae), and Pyrausta phoenicealis (Hübner) (Crambidae), respectively. Among these, the lepidopteran family Geometridae and Crambidae are also newly recorded as host groups for the genera Apophua and Trathala.

Insects have evolved successfully by adapting to their environments through development and reproduction. Temperature-dependent models have been used to calculate the intrinsic optimal, optimal development, and optimal fecundity temperatures of insects and mites; for this study, we reviewed 112 works that focused on these parameters. The insects and mites investigated in this study include 14 Acari, 8 Coleoptera, 5 Diptera, 31 Hemiptera, 7 Hymenoptera, 18 Lepidoptera, 1 Orthoptera, 5 Psocoptera, and 5 Thysanoptera species. The results of this study showed that the interval distance between the intrinsic optimal and optimal fecundity temperatures was smaller than that between the intrinsic optimal and optimal development temperatures of the all insects and mites investigated except for those in the order Thysanoptera. We found that there is a close relationship between the intrinsic optimal and optimal fecundity temperatures.
