Schizopora paradoxa is a white rot fungus showing great variation in hymenophoral configuration. It has been often treated as close to Irpex or Hyphodontia and frequently confused with S. flavipora which was identified as an unrecorded species in Korea. Distinct features including sizes of basidia and basidiospores as well as hymenophoral shape make S. paradoxa differ from S. flavipora. Remarkable characters of hymenophores and microscopic structures are described and their significance is discussed for the taxonomy of Korean Schizopora.

Two unrecorded polychaetous serpulids found in Korean waters, Protula tubularia (Montagu, 1803) and Ditrupa arietina (O.F.Muller, 1776), were described. Taxonomical criteria and morphological characteristics of these cosmopolitan species were also discussed. In addition, some ecological aspects were noted together with distributional ranges in the world ocean.

In this study, we isolated several fungal strains from filtered water and sediment collected from rivers and streams. The strains were identified by molecular phylogenetic analyses of rDNA sequences (internal transcribed spacer [ITS], large subunit of ribosomal DNA [LSU]). The morphological characteristics of the fungi were investigated using microscopy, and the culture characteristics of fungi grown on several media were examined. We identified four species previously unknown in South Korea, namely, Dissophora globulifera, Linnemannia exigua, Mortierella rishikesha and Umbelopsis autotrophica.

Eleven Coleophora species were found in a faunistic survey for the family Coleophoridae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) in Baengnyeong and Yeonpyeong Islands, located near the Northern Limit Line in the West Sea. Among them, three species Coleophora adjunctella Hodgkinson, C. chenopodii Oku, and C. kurokoi Oku have been recorded for the first time in Korea. For the newly recorded species, taxonomic remarks and illustrations of the adults and female genitalia have been provided.

330 House-Mice (Rattus norvegicus; 288, Rattus rattus; 42) were captured in surveyed areas (Downtown Seoul, Yeom-gok dong, and Sung-nam city) from May 1st, 1983 to April 30, 1984. Total 6170 of their Mites were collected from the above-indicated House-Mice. The survey on the number of species, the average individual number, preference of host, infection rate, and monthly abundance of Mites reached the following results. Seven species of Mites in Rattus norvegicus, and 5 species of Mites in Rattus rattus were respectively found. Accordingly whole Mites were found in 4 families, 6 genera, 9 species including unrecorded Hirstionysssus apodemi and Roadfordia ensifera. The most common species among Mites were Laelaps nuttalli (70.6). In aspect of the average individualnumber of Mites by host, 19.9% of Rattus norvegicus is more excessive than 10.2% of Rattus rattus. Eulaelaps stabularis, Androlaelaps glasgowi, Hirstionys년 apodemi were shown in preference of host in Rattus norvegicus, while Laelaps jettmari and Rodfordia ensifera in Rattus rattus. Rattus norvegicus was much infected by Laelaps nuttalli, while Rattus rattus by Laelaps echidninus. The seasonal development of it in Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus was at peak in July and in September. And Ornithonyssu bacoti was at peak in June, while Laelaps echidninus and Laelaps nuttalli in July.

Basidiomycetous macrofungi play important roles in maintaining forest ecosystems via carbon cycling and the mobilization of nitrogen and phosphorus. To understand the impact of human activity on macrofungi, an ongoing project at the Korea National Arboretum is focused on surveying the macrofungi in unexploited areas. Mt. Oseo was targeted in this survey because the number of visitors to this destination has been steadily increasing, and management and conservation plans for this destination are urgently required. Through 5 field surveys of Mt. Oseo from April to October 2012, 116 specimens of basidiomycetous macrofungi were collected and classified. The specimens were identified to the species level by analyzing their morphological characteristics and their DNA sequence data. A total of 80 species belonging to 57 genera and 25 families were identified. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to identify five of these species-Artomyces microsporus, Hymenopellis raphanipes, Pholiota abietis, Phylloporus brunneiceps, and Sirobasidium magnum-in Korea.

Two marine euplotid ciliates, i.e. Euplotes cristatus Kahl, 1932 and E. minuta Yocom, 1930, were collected from the public waterfront of Incheon on the Yellow Sea and from the Songjeong Beach, Busan, in the Strait of Korea, respectively. These two species were verified as unrecorded species in Korea. These species were described based on live observation, protargol impregnation, and silver nitrate impregnation. In addition, the small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences of the two species were compared with previously known sequences of the Euplotes species. Euplotes cristatus has an elongated oval form, size in vivo of $60-84{\times}38-68\;{\mu}m$, 35-50 adoral zone of membranelles (AZM), 10 frontoventral cirri (FVC), 5 transverse cirri (TC), 4-5 caudal cirri (CC), 8 dorsal kineties (DK), 10-16 dorsal cilia of middle DK, and silverline system of single-vannus type. Euplotes minuta has a small ovoid form ($44-53{\times}26-35\;{\mu}m$ in vivo), 31-41 AZM, 10 FVC, 5 TC, 4 CC, 9 DK, 10-12 dorsal cilia of middle DK, and silverline system of single-vannus type.

For the study of ant fauna in Mt. Kyeryongsan, we selected three areas and collected 317 colonies nine times from 1986 to 1990. The communities of ants were composed of 3 subfamilies, 23 genera and 45 species. Among them, Solenopsis sp. was an unrecorded species in Korea. The number of ant species distributed in each area was almost the same, and the species distributed uniformly in the nine subareas were Paratrechina flavipes and Aphaenogaster japonica. The number of species collected in the only one subarea were ten, and six among them were collected in the area of Sinwonsa temple, the westward slope. It is remarkable that Camponotus tokioensis, which is known to be distributed only in the island and coast so far, is found to be distributed in the area of Sinwonsa temple as well.
