This study aimed to isolate wild yeasts from seawaters and soils samples of the Haeundae and Mongdol beaches on the southern coast of Korea, and to characterize these unrecorded wild yeast strains. In total, 41 strains, representing 37 different species of wild yeast were isolated from 70 samples collected from the beaches. Among these, 14 strains were isolated from the alkalophilic medium of yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium (pH 9.0), and 27 strains were isolated concurrently on general YPD medium (pH 6.5). Among the 41 isolated wild yeast strains, Candida insectorum HUD 16-3(JSL-KSS-002) and Metschnikowia citriensis HUD 12-5(JSL-KSS-001) had not previously been recorded. We investigated the microbiological characteristics of these two unrecorded yeast strains and three other strains-, Cystobasidium lysinophilum JSC 52-2(JSL-GGU-019), Candida takata NMD 11-1(JSL-GGU-017) and Candida panamensis ASG 58M-2(JSL-GGU-018) from Jangseoncheon in Jellabuk-do and Jangtaesan in Deajeon city. All five previously unrecorded yeasts were oval and did not form spores. All strains grew well in YPD and yeast extract-malt extract media in a vitamin-free medium. Two strains, including C. insectorum HUD 16-3(JSL-KSS-002) grew well in a 15% NaCl-containing YPD medium. Three strains, including Cys. lysinophilum JSC52-2(JSL-GGU-019) assimilated lactose, and all strains assimilated starch.

Four unrecorded species (Barbella flagellifera, Isothecium hakkodense, Mnium orientale and Fissidens gardneri) and with one unrecorded genus, Barbella, are reported new to the Korean moss flora. B. flagellifera (Meteoriaceae) was found on a tree at alt. 300-350 m of parasitic Seogeomun-oreum Volcano on Jeju Island. The species are mainly distributed in subtropic regions. I. hakkodense (Lembophyllaceae) was found around the top of Seongin-bong on Ulleung Island. This species is similar to I. subdiversiforme, however, it can be distinguished by the morphologies of branch leaves and alar cells. M. orientale (Mniaceae) was collected from Mt. Jiri. This is similar to M. heterophyllum, however, it can be distinguished by plant size, number of teeth in leaf margin and cell size on leaf. F. gardneri (Fissidentaceae) was found along the valley of Mt. Palyeong, Jeollanam Province. This species is similar to F. obscurirete, but distinguished by the size of the plants and their leaves as well as the costal lengths of the leaves.

Only 12 species of marine harpacticoid copepods are ercorded in Koran waters. With the study on the taxonomy of harpacticoid copepods in Korean waters, Lourinia armata(Claus, 1866) was found in the samples from the rocky shore of Names off the east coast and Chiju Hrbor in June and August 1992, respectively. This species is reported to be distributed in the far east Asian coasts for the first time. It was redescribed and figured.

Four specimens (218.3~234.5 mm SL) of the family Stichaeidae were collected from the coastal water of Kangwon-do, in the middle East Sea of Korea. They are identified as Stichaeus nozawai Jordan and Snyder based on the following characters: posterior end of mouth not reaching posterior margin of eye, lateral line reaching posterior part of the caudal base; 10~13 dorsal spines behind end of lateral line, dorsal fin with oblique dark lines, I, 36~37 anal fin rays. We proposed a new Korean name, 'Keun-nun-jang-gaeng-i', for the species.

The spadenose shark, Scoliodon laticaudus, belongs to the family carcharhinidae was described as the first record from Korea based on a single specimen collected from the South Sea of Korea. The species is characterized by having a greatly depressed and trowel-shaped head, a depressed and long snout, triangular pectoral fins, and posterior tip of the first dorsal fin reaching the middle of pelvic fin. We propose a new Korean names of the genus Scoliodon and the species S. laticaudus as "Nab-jag-ju-dung-i-sang-eo sog" and "Nab-jag-ju-dung-i-sang-eo", respectively.

Two specimens of Upeneus tragula were firstly collected from Jeju Island, Korea. This species is characterized by having pectoral fin rays 13, lateral line 29, first gill rackers 5+14, both lobes of caudal fin with dark bands, ventral part of body with numerous blackish-brown dots, and upper part of first and second dorsal fin dark brown. It is easily distinguished from three other Korean Upeneus species in having both lobes of caudal fin with dark bands (vs. no band in U. sulphureus; only upper lobe with dark bands in both U. moluccensis and U. japonicus). We suggest the new Korean name "Keom-eun-jul-chok-su" for this species.

In the present study, we reports four species of Noctuidae are reported for the first time from Korea: Hadennia obiiqua (Wileman), ZancloEnatha lui Han and Park, Premusia intrahens Walker, and Cucullia hostilis Broursin. The adults and genital characteristics of the species are briefly redescribed with illustrations and their biological and distributional notes are given as necessary.

Two species of the family Clavicipitaceae, Cordyceps tricentri Yasuda and Cordyceps sphecocephala (Klotz) Mass. which have not been reported so far in Korea, were collected and identified. These are added to the list of three previously recorded species, Cordyceps sobolifera, C, militaris, and C. nutans.

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.

Polychaetes from offshore waters of Geojedo Island, Korea were collected from July 1995 to J 1998. Forty species of polychaetes worms were recognized in this study. Among them, seventeen species are recorded for the first time from around Geojedo Island. Four species, Odontosyllis maculata Uschakov, 1950, Odontosyllis decta Augener, 1913, Autolytus(Regulatus) convolutus(Cognett, 1953) and Chone mollis (Bush, 1904), are turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. A brief description and figures of newly reported species in Korea are given.
