  • Filippinodillo flavimaculis and F. palawanensis from Philippines, are described as new species. For the presence of a ledge on pereonal epimeron 1, F. flavimaculis resembles both of the previously known species, F. maculatus Schmalfuss, 1987 and F. kimberleyensis Lewis, 1998, but differs from F. maculatus in the shape of frontal shield and from F. kimberleyensis in the shape of ventral surface of pereonal epimera 3-7 and pleonal epimeron 3. F. palawanensis is easily distinguished from all the others in the genus by the shape of the pereonal epimeron 1 not forming a ledge and with lateral margin grooved entirely.

  • Two new species of the genus Burmoniscus, B. siamenis and B. phanganensis, are described from Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand. B. siamenis is similar to B. mauritiensis (Taiti and Ferrara, 1983) in color pattern and the shape of telson, but distinguished by the shape of pereonite 7 with obtuse postero-lateral angle and the peculiar shape of male pleopod 2 endopod with truncated apex. B. phanganensis is close to B. ocellatus Verhoeff, 1928) in the shape of pereonite 7 and telson, but easily distinguished by the peculiar shape of male pleopod 1 endopod with two rows of denticles on caudal surface.

  • Twenty-one speices of the terrestrial isopods are recorded from Cheju Island and Chja Island, Korea. Quepartoniscus tuberculatus, n. gen., n.sp., is described. The genus Koshiniscus Nunomura is considered to be a junior synonym of Armadilloniscus Uljanin, Armadilloniscus hoshikawai Nunomura and A. amakusaensis Nunomura of A. ellipticus, Mongloiscus nipponicus (Arcangeli) of M. vannamei(Arcangeli), Nagurus tsushimaensis Nunomura, N. pallidus Nunomura, and Mongoloniscus nigrogranulatus Kwon and Tatiti of M. koreanus (Verhoeff). Nagurus sinuosus Nunomura is transferred to Lucasioides Kwon , Protracheoniscus pannuosus Nunomura (of which P.awaensis Nunomura, Nagurus gotoensis Nunomura, and N. izuharaensis Nunomura are synonyms ) to Agnara Budde-Lund, and Armadillo obscurus Budde-Lind to Venezillo Verhoeff. Several poorly known species are redescribed and illustrated.

  • This study collected samples of Korean dark sleepers (Odontobutis interrupta) in the Keumdang Stream from March to November 2021 to investigate their feeding habits. The sizes were classified by age (1 year and 2 years old, and 3 years or older). The food organisms of O. interrupta included Isopoda, Amphipoda, and Decapoda of the Malacostraca, Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Hemiptera, Plecoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Trichoptera belonging to the aquatic insect of Arthropoda (accounting for 86.6% of the population), Tubificida, Haplotaxida, and Rhynchobdellida belonging to the Clitellata of Annelida (accounting for 7.3%), Systellommatophora and Mesogastropoda belonging to the Gastropodo of Mollusca (accounting for 2.8%), fish (accounting for 3.3%), and fish eggs. Korean dark sleepers fed mostly on aquatic insects, fish, crustaceans, and annelids. Aquatic insects were the most important food source, with 70.1% of the population, 31.7% in biomass, and 72.6% in the index of relative importance. Korean dark sleepers were carnivorous in diet and belonged to the stalker in food intake characteristics and forms. A food migration was observed since less Diptera was found, and more fish, Decapoda, Trichoptera, and Odonata were found in the biomass of the feed consumed by larger species. Diptera (65.3%), Haplotaxida (14.5%), Ephemeroptera (7.0%), Diptera (58.6%), Ephemeroptera (24.5%), fish (4.8%) Diptera (30.1%), Ephemeroptera (20.4%), Isopoda (13.3%) were mainly fed in the autumn.

  • Two marine isopods, Pentias hayi Richardson, 1904 and P. thompsoni Collinge, 1916 were verified as unrecorded species in South Korea. The genus Pentias is reported for the first time in South Korea. These two isopods were collected from Heuksan-do Island and Ulleung-do Island from South Korea, respectively. We provide descriptions of the diagnostic characteristics, illustrations of two species and their partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) for molecular characteristics.
