Among alcohol preserved adult specimens of non-biting midges(Chironomidae, Diptera) which were collected at various localities in 1977-1978, three new species are identified and named Pentapedilum parasordens n. sp., Micropsectra koreana n.sp. and Rheotanytarsus gayaensis n. sp., which are fully described with illustration.

A new species of leuconid cumaceans, Nippoleucon projectus n. sp. is described on the basis of the specimens collected from western shallow coast of the South Korea. This new species is easily distinguished from two previously recorded species (N. hinumensis and N. enoshimensis) in having the fifth abdominal segment prominently projected to rear at dorsal posterior portion and the carapace of the female with three spines on the frontal lobe.

Three species of seed beetles, Acanthoscelides pallidipennis (Motschulsky, 1874), Bruchidius terrenus (Sharp, 1886), and Kytorhinus senilis Solsky, 1869, from South Korea are reported for the first time. These three species can be morphologically distinguished from other Korean bruchid species by the distinctive color pattern of the elytra, presence of subapical spines on hind femur, and exposed last three tergites of abdomen, respectively. In this study, partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I from Korean specimens of these species were generated. In addition, host plants, distribution maps, and photographs of the dorsal habitus and live specimens of each species are also included.

Chironomid adults were collected by light traps at night, sweeping on grasses, during daytime hours, sweeping of swarming males with an insect net, and aspiration of light-attracted adults using a sucking tube. The collected specimens were slide-mounted and examined. I identified two species new to science, namely Orthocladius manhaei n. sp. and Ablabesmyia jeongi n. sp., and three species for the first time in Korea: Paratrichocladius tamaator Sasa, 1981, Rheocricotopus chalybeatus (Edwards, 1929) and Hayesomyia tripunctata (Goetghebuer, 1922). This is the first report of the genera Rheocricotopus and Hayesomyia in Korea. The genus Hayesomyia in the tribe Pentaneurini of Tanypodinae has a Holarctic distribution with only one species recorded from each of the Palaearctic and Nearctic regions.

Four species of the family Lycosidae are reported. Alopecosa gachangensis n. sp. is described from Daegu, Korea. A. aculeata (Clerck, 1757), Lycosa boninensis Tanaka, 1989 and Pardosa hokkaido Tanaka and Suwa, 1986 are newly recorded to the Korean spider fauna.

Three species of Archaeogastropoda were found new to the fauna of Korea, and are described in this paper. These include Emarginulo crossicostato Sowerby, 1863, Collisello cassis (Eschscholtz, 18331, and Collonista umakusaensis Habe, 1950. As the result, the Korean marine Archaeogastropod fauna comprises 10 families, 67 species and 9 subspecies.

Three new fungal species of the genus Mortierella, Mortierella zychae, Mortierella ambigua, and Mortierella indohii, have been reported in Korea. The fungi were encountered during a study on the fungal community of soil samples collected from different locations in Korea. The species were identified based on molecular and morphological analyses. This study presents detailed descriptions of the morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analysis of these three fungi. All three species were found to be sensitive to triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. M. zychae demonstrated the highest intensity of mycelial staining, indicating that this species has the highest potential to produce arachidonic acid of the three species. The staining results indicated that the newly recorded species could potentially be useful for arachidonic acid production.

A new species, Dimorphostylis namhaedoensis (Cumacea, Diastylidae) is described on the basis of the specimens collected from southern shallow coast of Korean peninsula. The new species resembles four other species, D. asiatica, D. valida, D. hisuta and D. acroplicata, in having three apical spines on the terminal margin of the male telson and three pairs of the oblique ridges on the carapace, but are obviously distinguished from them in that the pattern of the ridges on the carapace is different and the third article of the antennular peduncle is very long in female. Furthermore, the dorsal carina of the female carapace has a row of forward spines and among the three apical spines of male telson, the median spine is much smaller than the lateral ones.

Three species of the family Biphyllidae - Biphyllus japonicus Sasaji, 1983, Biphyllus loochooanus Sasaji, 1991 and Biphyllus oshimanus Nakane, 1988 - are reported for the first time in Korea. Descriptions, photographs of the adults and line drawings of the diagnostic characters are provided for all the species recognized in this study.

Some hydroid specimens were collected by SCUBA diving from 10-25 m deep at Uljin (Nagok) and Jejudo Island (Munseom, Beomseom, Supseom). Among the identified species, three species Eudendrium racemosum (Gmelin, 1791), Sertularella diaphana(Allman, 1886) and Schizotricha divergens Naumov, 1960 are new to the Korean fauna.
