One new species of the genus Myrmica was found from Mt. Moak in Chonbuk, Korea. It was named as Myrmica cadusa n. sp. on the basis of external shape of the antennal socket, which is jar-shaped. Accordingly Korean Myrmica now includes 13 species in total.

Vertical distribution of ants were studied in Jiri mountain by collecting 15 times at 42 sites for 3 years since 1984. 31 species of 16 genera in 3 subfamilies were collected during the survey. The following 6 species, i.e., Formica japonica, F. lemani, Lasius niger, L. alienus, Pheidole fervida and Myrmica ruginodis were dorminant one, but 9 species such as Leptothorax congruus, Pheidole nodus, Aphanogaster japonica, Jollenhovia emeryi, Camponotus tokioensis, Polyrhachis lamellidens, Phagiolepsis mandjurica, myrmica yessensis and M. sulcinodis were rare species. The ant of Jiri mountain consisted of 16 species in Formicinae, 13 species in Myrmicinae and 2 species in Ponerinae. Ponerinae was distbriuted as far as 1,800m, but Myrmicinae and Formicinae to 1,915m. Only 8 species-Myrmica ruginosis, Myrmica sp., M. yessensis, M. sulcinodis, Leptothorax acevorum, Formica japonica, F. lemani and Camponotus japonicus-were collected at the submit of Jiri mountain, Cheonwangbong. The vertical distribution of C. atrox was ranged from 800m to 1,800m.

Two species of the genus Myrmica Latreille, 1804, M. ademonia Bolton, 1995 and M. luteola Kupyanskaya, 1990, were reported in Korea for the first time. Morphological characteristics for workers of these two species are described.

Two new species of Myrmica from Korea are described. M. koreana belongs to the schencki species-group of Myrmica and is most similar to M. schencki. It is possibly endemic to the Korean Peninsula. M. hyungokae belongs to the lobicornis-group and is most similar to M. jessensis. It has some characters normally associated with social parasites but it is probably a free-living species. Both new species were clearly separated from their nearest relatives on subjective characters (shape, sculpture etc.) and this was confirmed by discriminant analysis of the morphometrics.

To find out ant fauna in the Mt. Chiak, collection tours were taken in three courses for two years. As a result, The ant fauna of Mt. Chiak were confirmed to be 45 species belonging to 23 genera under 4 subfamilies. Among them, ten species were new to Gangweon-province and Myrmica sp. 6 was new to Korea. Ants fauna of Gangweon-province at together became 74 species under 28 genera. In Ponerinae, ants fauna have become 5 species under 4 genera, in Myrmicinae, 20 species under 13 genera, in Dolichoderinae 1 species under 1 genera and in Formicinae 19 species under 5 genera.

The 21 species, 9 genera, and 2 subfamilies collected at Orimok area were added to the ant fauna list of Mt. Hallasan, among which, Camponotus amamianus Terayama is new to the fauna of Korea, and Lasius hayashi, L. umbratus, Myrmica kasczenkoi, and M. kurokii are newly added to the fauna list of Jeju Island. In addition, the catalog has been arranged by adding the formerly collected ant specimens at Mt. Hallasan.

The ant fauna in Mt. Gariwangsan was composed of 39 species 24 genera 5 subfamilies. The collected ants in Mt. Gariwangsan were Subfamily Myrmicinae(16 species 11 genera), Subfamily Formicinae(15 species 5 genera), Subfamily Ponerinae(6 species 4 genera), Subfamily Amblyoponinae(1 species 1 genera), and Subfamily Dolichoderrinae(1 species 1 genera). Ant fauna by vegetation in Mt. Gariwangsan, 36 species 23 genera were collected in broadleaf tree areas in which Quercus mongolica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Tilia amurensis, and Cornus controversa were dominant species. Paratrechina flavipes and Myrmica kotokui were dominant species. 13 species 12 genera were collected only in broadleaf tree areas. In the coniferous tree areas where Pinus densiflora, Pinus korainensis, and Larix kaempferi were dominant, 24 species 15 genera of ants in total were collected. Pachycondyla chinensis and Paratrechina flavipes were dominant species. 4 species 3 genera were collected only in the coniferous tree areas. Paratrechina flavipes was dominant even in the areas in which Camponotus japonicas and Formica japonica had been assumed to be dominant. Specifically, the higher the land was, the rarer Ponerinae and Dolichoderinae were observed. The common species observed in both areas were 20 species 13 genera. Of these ants, Paratrechina flavipes(Subfamily Formicinae) and Myrmica kotokui(Subfamily Myrmicinae) were distinctive ants. With regard to the current state of colony of these species, Paratrechina flavipes was dominant in lowland areas. Myrmica kotokui, on the other hand, was dominant in highland areas.
