Two pelagic species Siriella izuensis Murano and Fukuoka, 2008 and Siriella japonica Ii, 1964, are reported for the first time from the Korean waters, together with descriptions and illustrations. S. izuensis can be distinguished from its closest relative, Siriella japonica, by the normal inner flagellum of the antennule of males, as opposed to the swollen proximal part in S. japonica, and by the slightly more distinct tendency of alternate arrangement of spines on the distal third lateral margin of the telson than in S. japonica. S. izuensis and S. japonica differ distinctly from other related species by a combination of the triangular rostral plate, the moderate size of the eyes, the form and arrangement of the lateral spines of the telson, and six or seven graded spines on the distal outer margin of the uropodal exopod. A taxonomical key is given for the genus Siriella from the Korea waters.

1986년 8월 2일 제주도 한림읍에서 채집한 망둑어과 어류 1개체가 한국 미기록종인 Istigobius hoshinonis로 동정되었기에 이를 기재하였다. 본 종은 가슴지 느러미에 유리전조가 없고 둥지느러미전방 비늘이 12개 이상, 횡렬린수가 7-9개, 뺨과 새개부에 비늘이 없는점 등에서 동일속의 다른 종들과 잘 구분된다. 본 종의 한국명은 '비단망둑'이라 명명한다.

We discovered a syrphid species, Tropidia rostrata Shiraki, 1930, for the first time in Korea. This is the first member of the genus Tropidia recorded in Korea. This species can be distinguished from other Palaearctic members of Tropidia by the combination of the following characteristics: lower facial margin strongly protrudes forward; apical 3/4 of hind femur black; and tergites 2 and 3 each with a pair large yellowish brown square spots (not reached hind margin). We here provide a detailed redescription supplemented by the color photographs of external structures including genitalia. We also discussed the status of primary types associated with this taxon.

Four homalotine species-Anomognathus armatus (Sharp), Heterota onorum Maruyama, Neosilusa ceylonica (Kraatz), and Silusa lanuginosa Sharp-and three genera-Anomognathus Solier, Neosilusa Cameron, Silusa Erichson-are identified for the first time in Korea. The tribe Homalotini can be distinguished from other related tribes by the combination of the following characters: tarsal formula 4-4-5; mandible with patch or rows of denticles in ventral molar region; base of medial setae of prementum very close together, setal insertions in contact in many, setae displaced one behind the other in some; medial pseudopore field of prementum very narrow in many. Habitus photographs, diagnoses, and illustrations of male genitalia of these four species are provided.

The analysis of plankton species distribution in sea or fresh water is very important in preserving marine ecosystem health. Since manual analysis is infeasible, many automatic approaches were proposed. They usually use images from in situ towed underwater imaging sensor or specially designed, lab mounted microscopic imaging system. Normally they assume that only single plankton is present in an image so that, if there is a clumping among multiple plankton of same species (homogeneous clumping) or if there are multiple plankton of different species scattered in an image (heterogeneous interspersion), they have a difficulty in recognition. In this work, we propose a deep learning based method that can detect and recognize individual plankton in images with homogeneous clumping, heterogeneous interspersion, or combination of both.

Two new gastrotrich species belonging to genus Tetranchyroderma are described on the basis of the specimens from intertidal or sublittoral sand bottoms of South Korea. Tetranchyroderma heterotentaculatum, n. sp. is clearly differentiated from its congeners by the character combination: the cuticular armature with pentancres, modified rod-like cephalic tentacles, and three pairs of dorsolateral adhesive tubes. Tetranchyroderma hoonsooi, n. sp. possesses tetrancres, paired lateral cephalic tentacles, and ventro-lateral adhesive tubes along whole lateral margin, while lacks dorsal adhesive tubes. Affinities with its congeners and variability within the species are discussed, with brief notes on morphological discrepancies between adults and juveniles.

To determine the degree of variability among the host plant species in their abilities to become colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), the inoculum for AMF was collected from the various sites in Korea and was inoculated to the three horticultural plants; Tagetes patula, Torenia fournieri, and Salvia splendens. After 4-month growth under greenhouse, mycorrhizal root colonization rates and spore density were measured. The roots of T. patula showed higher colonization rate than both plants of T. fournieri and Salvia splendens. The mycorrhizal root colonization was influenced by both of the AM fungal inoculum and the host species or their interactions. The combination of the host and fungal species was suggested to be important for the application of AMF to horticultural crops.

A type specimen is the specimen originally used to name a new species; thus, it is one of the most significant materials for taxonomic study. In our study on the inventory and management of endemic species in Korea, we checked the type materials for Pseudolysimachion pusanensis (Y. Lee) Y. Lee, combination name Veronica pusanensis Y. Lee, recorded as deposited at the herbaria of the Ewha Womans University and the National Institute of Biological Resources, and failed to find any specimens. Thus, we concluded that all type specimens of V. pusanensis have since been misplaced. According to articles 9.11 and 9.13 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, it is necessary to select a neotype if the holotype is missing and no other original material exists. Therefore, we designate the neotype maintained in the herbarium of the National Institute of Biological Resources of the Republic of Korea.

As a result of the faunistic survey of the free-living marine nematodes from coastal algal beds and sublittoral sands in South Korea, we report a meiobenthic species, Desmoscolex cosmopolites Timm, 1970, for the first time from the western Pacific as well as Korean waters. Among 17-ring Desmoscolex species, D. cosmopolites is represented by the following combination of characters: absence of subventral setae on 10th and 14th main rings and the presence of subdorsal setae with large angular lance-shaped tip. A detailed morphological redescription is provided using a scanning electron microscope and a differential interference contrast microscope. Character comparison between D. cosmopolites and its allied congeneric species is also analysed.

In order to investigate the host range of the mosaic disease of black locust in the Chunchon area, the sap of the mosaic-diseased leaves of black locust itself and the cowpea leaves infected with the above mentioned sap, were inoculated to 53 species of plants belong to 12 families. As to the result, no difference in infection was found as related to the virus sources, and the infection was recognized in 4 species of the family Chenopodiaceae and 8 species of the family Leguminosae. The plants recognized as hosts are as follows: the plants which showed local infection are Chenopodium album, Ch. ambrosioides, Ch. quinoa; the plants which showed systemic infection are Chenopodium amaranticolor, Phaseolus vulgaris, Robinia pseudo-acacia, Vigna sinensis; and Astragalus sinicus, Melilotus indicus, Phaseolus angularis, Pisum sativum and Vicia faba were recognized as carriers. Through investigating its host ranges and symptoms, this mosaic virus of black locust seems not to be regarded as the group of the black locust mosaic virus in southeastern Europe reported by Milinko et al (1961). And, too, it is thought hardly to exist in combination with the cowpea mosaic virus. It appears, therefore, that this mosaic virus was confined to that of black locust.
