Three cheilostomatous bryozoans from Korean waters were identified. Thalamoporella sibogae Soule, Soule and Chaney, 1992 and Schizomavella acuta Osburn, 1952 are new to Korea, and Buffonellaria acutirostris is new to the bryozoans fauna. S. acuta and B. acutirostris n. sp. are described with figures.

The first zoeas of Eualus leptognathus are described and illustrated in detail from laboratory-hatched material. Morphological comparison is made with previous description of this species from Japan. Minute rostrum and two anteroventral denticles behind pterygostomian spine on the carapace readily distinguish the first zoeas of Eualus leptognathus from those of Eualus sinensis, the only known zoeas of Eualus from Korean waters.

A taxonomic study on the marine sponges was conducted with the materials collected from Chujado Island, Korea during the period June 2001 to May 2005 by SCUBA and hands. They were classified into 63 species, 31 genera, 25 families, seven orders in a class. Among them, Antho (Arcania) manarensis Carter, 1880 and Eurypon lendenfeldi Hentschel, 1912 were newly added to Korean Fauna. Two species, Biemna chujaensis and B. jeolmyongensis, were new to science.

First zoeas of Alpheus albatrossae (Banner, 1953) are described and illustrated for the first time, based on laboratory-hatched zoeas from a female collected in Ulleung-do Island, eastern Korea. The first zoeas of A. albatrossae can be distinguished from those of seven known species of Alpheus (A. brevicristatus, A. digitalis, A. heeia, A. japonicus, A. lobidens, A. richardsoni, and A. sudara) from Korea by having 6-segmented scale of the antenna and the endopod of the first maxilliped with four terminal setae.

The genus Opius Wesmael, 1835 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Opiinae) generally parasitizes larvae of Agromyzidae, Anthomyiidae, Drosophilidae, Tephritidae, Ephydridae and Cecidomyiidae, of which 32 species are recorded in South Korea. In China, seven new species of the genus Opius have been known. Among them, Opius crenuliferus Li & van Achterberg, 2013 is reported for the first time in South Korea. Specimen was collected by sweeping in West Daeshin-dong, Busan, Korea. In this study, description, and diagnostic illustration of O. crenuliferus are provided.

Retroviral integration into ancient vertebrate genomes left traces that can shed light on the early history of viruses. In this study, we explored the early evolution of retroviruses by isolating nine Spuma endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and one Epsilon ERV from the genomes of Agnatha and Chondrichthyes. Phylogenetic analysis of protein sequences revealed a striking pattern of co-evolution between jawless fish ERV and their host, while shark ERV underwent ancient cross-class viral transmission with jawless fish, ray-finned fish, and amphibians. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that jawless fish ERV emerged in the Palaeozoic period, relatively later than ray-finned fish ERV. Moreover, codon analysis suggested that the jawless fish ERV employed an infection strategy that mimics the host codon. The genealogical diversity of ERVs in the jawless fish genome highlights the importance of studying different viral species. Overall, our findings provide valuable insights into the evolution of retroviruses and their interactions with their hosts.

The nucleotide sequence of a Korea isolate of broad bean wilt favavirus from Rehmannia glutinosa Lib., designated BBWV-RE, was determined. Direct amino acid sequencing of the virus coat proteins suggests that a comparison of several favaviruses in terms of nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequences showed that BBWV-2 isolates display high sequence identity. The small coat protein genes of RNA-2 were also determined for three other Japanese isolates(E, L, and 1-2) and two ATCC isolates(PV132 and PV176) of BBWV. the CP sequence suggested distinct evolution lineages. Serotype 2 favaviruses are more prevalent in Asia, Australia and North America, Wheres serotype 1 is more prevalent in europe.(중략)

The stomatopods are aggressive predatory marine crustaceans, which are mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions. Among these, a parasquillid stomatopod, Faughnia formosae Manning and Chan, 1997, collected from Jeju Island, is reported for the first time in Korea. The family is easily distinguished from other families by the presence of an asymmetrically bilobed cornea, stout propodus on the raptorial claw, and three primary spines of the uropodal protopod. In the paper, detailed descriptions and illustrations of this species are provided alongside a photograph. A key to the species of Korean mantis shrimp is also presented. As a result of this study, four species of stomatopods including this species are now recorded in Korean fauna.
