The earwig Proreus simulans($St{\aa}l$, 1860) has been recently reported from Jeollanam-do in the far southern section of the Korean Peninsula. Natural photographs of this species were obtained from Gwangyang Province for the first time in 2013, with specimens being physically collected in light traps from Suncheon Province in 2018. The species is widely distributed throughout the Oriental region, where its main habitat is lowland paddy fields. The earwig belongs to family Chelisochidae, subfamily Chelisochinae, and genus Proreus, which are newly recognized in Korea. The diversity of the order Dermaptera is currently estimated to be 6 families, 14 genera, and 24 species in Korea.

Two species belonging to two genera of the Laboulbeniales were collected from species of the Dermaptera of Korea. Among these species, Dimeromyces anisolabis Thaxter parasitic on Anisolabis maritima (Bonelli) is new to Korea and Filariomyces forficulae Shanor parasitic on Labidura riparia japonica (do Haan) was collected newly Iron Jeju island. These specimens were preserved in Mycologlcal Laboratory, Division of Science Education, College of Education, Chosun University.

The earwig species Spongovostox sakaii Nishikawa, 2006 is reported from the Korean Peninsula for the first time. The species was originally described from Amami-Oshima, Nansei Islands, Japan, which is located in the Oriental Region. Its distribution in Korea was confirmed by collections from Gwangneung Forest, which is located in the middle of South Korea. This is also first record of the pantropical genus Spongovostox Burr, 1911a from the Palearctic Region. Along with Labia minor Linnaeus, 1758 and Paralabellula curvicauda (Motschulsky, 1863), which had been reported from Korea previously, notes on the species are provided. And a key, descriptions, photos, and illustrations are given for their identification.

Dermaptera was investigated, examined and reviewed in taxonomy and for distribution in Youngnam region. Based on the data, the local species groups were measured to choose priority-conservation-area by taxonomic root weighting and distribution analysis at 232 geographical conservation units. Eleven species belonging to 4 families and 8 genera were recorded mounting up to 68.75% of species diversity known in Korea. Found remarkably were the rare and endangered Challia fletcheri Burr at Sobaek Mountain National Park, and unusually Anisolabis maritima (Bonelli) in Taegu, Euborellia pallipes (Shiraki) at Island Geoje and E. plebeja (Dohrn) at Hwanho near Pohang. The highest species diversity was found at the temple Huibang area at Sobaek Mountain National Park with 8 species, which was measured also as the primary priority-conservation-area with 83.41 % of accumulated taxonomic root weighting indices in percentage. Geoje and Hwanho both measured as 12.18% of accumulated taxonomic root weighting index in percentage and complimentary to Sobaek Mountain National Park but supporting 5 and 3 species, respectively. The priority goes to the geographical conservation unit supporting higher species richness between two geographical conservation units in comparison. By the rule, the second priority-conservation-area should be Geoje and the third Hwanho. It is, thus, demonstrated how 11 species can be all conserved by choosing 3 priority-conservation-areas out of 232 geographical conservation units to maintain maximum species in minimum areas.

The natural enemies of Black pine bast scale (Matsucoccus thunbergianae) were surveyed total 24species, 7families, 4orders in predatory insects and 29species 1 lfamilies in a predatory spiders. In insect, Coleoptera IOspecies, Hymenoptera 7species, Hemiptera 6species, Dermaptera 1 species were investigated. Among them high frequency and population density were Chilocorus rubidus, Harmonia axyridis of Coleoptera, Brachyponera chinensis, Vesp~ilac rabro flavofasciata of Hymonoptea, Sphedanolestes impressicollis, Velinos nodipes of Hemiptera. Anatis halonis, Anisostictu kobensis of Coleoptea and Cydnocoris russatus of Hemiptea were newly investigated. In spiders, Araneidae gspecies, Thomisidae Sspecies, Lycosidae 3species, Salticidae 3species, Pisauridae 2species, Theridiidae 2species, Tetragnathidae 2species, Oxyopidae lspecies, Gnaphosidae I species, Clubionidae I species, Atypidae 1 species were investigated. Which high frequency and concentrating predatory species were Argiope bruennichii, Araneus ventricosus, Neoscona melloteei, Neoscona scylloides of Araneidae, Lycosa suzurii, Pirata sp. of Lycosidae, Marpissu elongata of Salticidae, Dolomedes stellatus of Pisauridae, Oxyopes sertatus of Oxyopidae.

This study was carried out to know the insect fauna of turf grass area in forest. In Korea, graves and public cemetery in mountain areas are usually covered by turf grass which were mainly examined. There were 86 species belonging to 77 genera of 39 families in 11 orders. Among them, site 3 had highest occurrence (38%), second was site 2 (36%) and in the last place was site 1 (26%). Hemiptera revealed best species composition (29.1%) and came Coleoptera (19.8%), Orthoptera (15.1%), Lepidoptera (12.8%) and Odonata (5.8%) etc. The reason why Hemiptera and Orthoptera are mainly found in these areas is because they usually feed on short plants that grow in there. Taxonomic species composition, occurrence ratio by site and species and comparison analysis were provided.

This research is insect diversity analysis on the basis of survey results and bibliographies of Hongdo Island, Mts. Seoraksan, Hallasan, Daeamsan & Daeusan, Hyangnobong peak & Geonbongsan nature reserves and Dokdo Protected Natural Area among 10 designated nature reserves. The Mt. Hallasan nature reserve has 1,867 species in 22 orders and shows the highest species diversity. The species diversities of Mt. Seoraksan, Mt. Hyangnobong peak & Geonbongsan, Hongdo Island, Mt. Daeamsan & Daeusan, and Dokdo Protected Natural Area reveal 1,604 species in 19 orders, 704 species in 18 orders, 474 species in 19 orders, 468 species in 16 orders, and 114 species in 11 orders, respectively, in descending order. The order Lepidoptera shows as dominant taxa in Hongdo, Seoraksan, Hallasan, Hyangnobong peak & Geonbongsan, whereas the order Coleoptera as subdominant taxa in these areas. On the other hand, in Mt. Daeamsan & Daeusan, and Dokdo Protected Natural Area, the order Coleoptera appears as dominant taxa whereas the order Lepidoptera as subdominant taxa. The order Ephemeroptera has been shown the highest species diversity in Seoraksan which is reported to 25 species, Odonata in Hallasan to 28, Dermaptera in Seoraksan to 9, Orthoptera in Hallasan to 51, Hemiptera in Hallasan to 175, Homoptera in Seoraksan to 126, Hymenoptera in Hallasan to 183, and Diptera in Hallasan to 206. The species diversity is generally poor in Daeamsan & Daeusan, Hyangnobong peak & Geonbongsan, and Dokdo Protected Natural Area. Maybe this result is caused by the lack of various academic surveys compared to the other areas. It is needed to study systematic academic investigation on insect in the nature reserve areas in Korea, and to plan appropriate management and conservation on natural environment considering biodiversity of each nature reserve area.
