The leafhopper genus Batracomorphus Lewis, 1834 belongs to the tribe Batracomorphini (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Iassinae). B. irroratus Lewis, 1834 was designated as its type species. The genus includes most diverse species in the subfamily Iassinae and contains approximately 350 described species from the world. In Korea, four Batracomorphus species, B. allioni (Turton, 1802), B. punctilliger Anufriev, 1981, B. stigmaticus (Matsumura, 1912), B. viridulus (Melichar, 1902), have been reported in the Korean peninsula. The members of this genus have a similar body size and similar general appearances; thus, it is very difficult to identify clearly without examining the male's genital structures. In this study, Batracomorphus furcatus Li and Wang, 2003 is newly reported from Korea for the first time. This species is previously known to be from China. Herein, the morphological information of B. furcatus Li and Wang is provided with a re-description, photographs of the male dorsal habitus, illustrations of the genitalia structure and distributional records. In addition, a key to the Korean five species of Batracomorphus is presented.

Two newly recorded species of the genus Arboridia Zachvatkin (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from Korea are reported, which are Arboridia lunula Song & Li, 2013 and Arboridia agrillacea (Anufriev, 1969). Photographs of dorsal habitus, illustrations of male genitalia, abdomens and forewings and distributional records are provided. In addition, a key to the Korean Arboridia species is also given.

The planthopper subfamily Achilinae (Metcalf, 1938) from Korea is taxonomically revised. Six genera and seven species are recorded among Korean fauna. Among them, one genus, Phenelia Kirkaldy, and two species, Phenelia striatella (Matsumura, 1914) and Deferunda qiana Chen and He (2010) are new to Korea. The male genital structures of all these species are described and illustrated, plus an identification key to the tribe, genus, and species is provided.

The newly sequenced complete mitochondrial genome of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys($St{\aa}l$) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a circular molecule of 16,518 bp with a total A+T content of 76.4% and two extensive repeat regions in A+T rich region. Nucleotide composition and codon usage of H. halys are about average when compared with values observed in 19 other published hemipteran mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses using these 20 hemipteran mitochondrial genomes support the currently accepted hypothesis that suborders Heteroptera and Auchenorrhyncha form a monophyletic group. The mitochondrial gene arrangements of the 20 genomes are also consistent with our results.

The occurrence and the host plants of Arboridia kakogawana and A. maculifrons in the province of Chungcheonbuk-Do were observed. They started to infest grapevine in a vineyard in early May and reached peak population two times once in late June and once in mid August in general. In preparation for overwinter, A. kakogawana moved to the nearby forest in search of a tree with bark from early October. A. maculifrons also moved to the weeds on the ridge of vineyard circumferences from the end of September. Population density of the two species were found to be the highest in Okcheon county among the five counties of Chungbuk province. Developmental period of A. kakogawana was shorter than that of A. maculifrons.
