The major species of stem-borers attacking Populus $alba{\times}glandulosa$ was identified as Compsidia populnea L. and some superficial characters of the species were compared to the allied species, Compsidia balsamifera M.

Sensilla on the aedeagi of 4 species under the genus Damaster were studied using scanning electron microscopy. A total of 37 types of sensilla were distinguished from the aedeagi of the species examined. The number of sensilla types was the largest in D. (Coptolabrus) smaragdinus branickii, 25, and 23 in D. (C.) jankowskii jankowskii. In D. (Acoptolabrus) gehinii gehinii and D. (Damaster) blaptoides blaptoides, 22 and 21 types of sensilla were found, respectively. External morphology and distribution patterns of sensilla were also described. The phylogenetic relationships among the species were discussed based on their distribution patterns.

Change of proteins was confirmed during low temperature acclimation of overwintering larva, and some biochemical characteristics of the induced antifreeze protein-1 (AFP-1) were investigated in Protaetia brevitarsis. As the freezing point depression by the action of induced AFPs, a considerable thermal hysteresis was observed in the haemolymph and in partially purified proteins. AFP-1 was purified from the cold acclimation larvae by ammonium sulfate precipitation ion exchange chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, and electroelution. The purified AFP-1 was determined to be a glycoprotein (approximately 320 kDa, pl 5.8) composed of a single type of subunit (80 kDa). The high contents of hydrophilic amino acids (Asp, Glu, Lys, Asn, Gln, Arg, Ser, Thr) were also confirmed, showing similarity with antifreeze proteins from other insects.

A taxonomic study of the genus Cafius Curtis in Korea is presented. The world-wide genus Cafius containing 45 species is restricted to seacoasts. Five species are recognized, three of which are reported for the first time in Korea [C. algrum (Sharp), C. mimulus (Sharp), C. rufescens Sharp]. A key, descriptions, and drawings of diagnostic characters of known Korean Cafius species are presented.

In Korean Peninsula including neighboring islands and Japanese Islands identical firefly species or the species belonging to same genera occur together in both territories. These geographic firefly species, nonetheless, have never been subject to taxonomic consideration together until recently, lacking clear species status and phylogenetic relationships. A recent serial study of these fireflies using luciferase gene and/or portions of mitochondrial DNA sequences provided some insight into these populations in terms of validity of species name, phylogenetic relationships, and speciation event. In this article, thus, we have reviewed the recent progress on phylogenetic and/or population genetic aspects of these species, i.e., Hotaria-group fireflies, Luciola lateralis, and Pyrocoelia rufa to better understand the firefly species in these regions.

This paper deals with Korean Staphylinids fauna investigated in Korea by G. Lafer during 1994, 1995 and 1998. 38 species of rove beetles were recognized and among them, four species (Atheta weisei, Bolitobius setiger, Lesteva plagiata, and Sepedophilus germanus) are reported herein from Korea for the first time.

A taxonomic study of the Oxyporinae including a single genus Oxyporus Fabricius in Korea is presented. Members of the genus are known to be obligate inhabitants on fleshy mushrooms. They are characterized by crescent-shaped last labial palpomere. Nine species are recognized, five of which are reported for the first time in Korea (Oxyporus basicornis Cameron, O. basiventris Jarrige, O. crocatus Fauvel, O. niger Sharp, O. triangulum Sharp). The illustrations, descriptions, and key to the Korean species of the Oxyporinae are presented.

A numerical taxonomy based on the phenetic characters of 59 Korean Pterostichini species is conducted to determine the effect on the assessment of the 7 different methods combined by 3 similarity or dissimilarity coefficients, using 87 morphological multistate characters.
