Henricia specimens were collected using fishing nets from 14 November 2012 to 8 June 2018 from the East Sea of Korea. The specimens were identified as Henricia sanguinolenta (O.F. $M{\ddot{u}}ller$, 1776), belonging to the family Echinasteridae of the order Spinulosida, which is known for its wide distribution throughout the world. This species can be distinguished from other Henricia species by long arms (R/r=6-6.8), thick arm base, coarser stubby abactinal spines with more than ten apical points, and visible longitudinal series of actinal ossicles. Previously, eight species of the genus Henricia were reported in the Korean fauna. The morphological characteristics of this species were prepared and described with illustrations.

A specimen of Henricia was collected from the adjacent waters of Moseulpo, Jeju Island, Korea, using fishing nets. The specimen was identified as Henricia aspera Fisher, 1906, which belongs to the family Echinasteridae of the order Spinulosida. This species can be distinguished from other Henricia species by its broad arms (R/r=4.1), swollen arm base, three to seven short abactinal spines, and close-meshed formation of the actinal skeleton. This study has newly recorded H. aspera inhabiting the Korean fauna, bringing the total number of known Henricia species in Korea to 16. This study provides a description of the morphological characteristics of H. aspera with photographs of each part. Additionally, a table is presented that compares the morphological characteristics of H. aspera with closely related Henricia species.

Two species of the genus Langerhansia and nine species of the genus Typosyllis are identified from the South Sea and East Sea in Korea. Of these eleven species, four species are newly recorded from Korean waters. They are Langerhansia cornuta, L. rosea, Typosyllis okadai, and T. hyalina. Genus Langerhansia is reported in Korea for the first time.

In the present study, one species of the subfamily Doryctinae, Spathius depressithorax Belokobylskij, 1998, is reported for the first time from Korea. A diagnosis and photographs for the species are provided. Also, a total of 13 species of the genus Spathius Nees, 1819 known from Korea is presented with synonymies and distributional ranges.

Polychaetes from offshore waters of Geojedo Island, Korea were collected from July 1995 to J 1998. Forty species of polychaetes worms were recognized in this study. Among them, seventeen species are recorded for the first time from around Geojedo Island. Four species, Odontosyllis maculata Uschakov, 1950, Odontosyllis decta Augener, 1913, Autolytus(Regulatus) convolutus(Cognett, 1953) and Chone mollis (Bush, 1904), are turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. A brief description and figures of newly reported species in Korea are given.

Two species of Scopula, S. asthena Inoue, 1943 and S. tenuisocius Inoue, 1942, were newly recorded from Korea. Scopula asthena can be distinguished by the bipectinate male antennae and whitish wings with four blackish dots on each wing. This species is similar to S. superior (Butler, 1878) but differs in the large blackish discal dots on both wings. Scopula tenuisocius can be distinguished by its whitish forewing with light grayish, dentate antemedial line, short-line shaped discal dot and line light grayish, weakly rounded, dentate postmedial line, and whitish hindwing with a blackish discal dot and light grayish, undulating medial lines. Scopula tenuisocius is similar to S. floslactata (Haworth, 1809) but the species can be distinguished by the thinner and blackish subterminal line of the forewing that appears minutely dentate along the line. To date, 41 species of the genus Scopula are known in Korea.

We conducted five times surveys, in June, September and October in 2012; June and September 2013, to catalog the mushroom flora in Ulleung-gun, Republic of Korea. More than 400 specimens were collected, and 317 of the specimens were successfully sequenced using the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer barcode marker. We also surveyed the morphological characteristics of the sequenced specimens. The specimens were classified into 2 phyla, 7 classes, 21 orders, 59 families, 122 genera, and 221 species, and were deposited in the herbarium of Korea National Arboretum. Among the collected species, 72% were saprophytic, 25% were symbiotic, and 3% were parasitic. The most common order was Agaricales (189 specimens, 132 species), followed by Polyporales (47 specimens, 27 species), Russulales (31 specimens, 22 species), Boletales (10 specimens, 7 species), and so on. Herein, we also reported the first Bovista species in Korea, which was collected from Dokdo, the far-eastern island of Korea.

Korean species of Atypophthalmus Brunetti, 1911 and Thrypticomyia Skuse, 1890 crane flies (Diptera: Limoniidae) were taxonomically revised. New findings of Achyrolimonia Alexander, 1965, Helius Lepeletier and Serville, 1828 (Latreille et al., 1828) and Limonia Meigen, 1803 were discussed. Genera Atypophthalmus and Thrypticomyia, species Helius(Helius) flavus(Walker, 1856) were newly recorded for the Korean Peninsula, and Achyrolimonia neonebulosa (Alexander, 1924) and Limonia juvenca Alexander, 1935 were new records for North Korea. Male terminalia of L. episema Alexander, 1924 were described with detailed photographs. Identification keys, re-descriptions and illustrations of both sexes from all species in Korea were presented.

Adult caddisflies were collected from 11 sites in Cheongdo-gun (Gyeongsangbuk-do) and Miryang-si (Gyeongsangnam-do) in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. Collections on August 28 to 30, 2015, by aerial sweeping and light trapping, included one new species and four newly recorded species from the Korean Peninsula. Description of the new species Paduniella unmun Inaba and Park (Psychomyiidae), and re-description of the four species (Polyplectropus malickyi Nozaki et al., 2010, Tinodes furcatus Li and Morse, 1997, Cheumatopsyche tanidai $Ol{\acute{a}}h$ and Johanson, 2008, and Diplectrona kibuneana Tsuda, 1940) are provided. Additionally, we recognize that a larva described as Diplectrona KUa is the larval stage of D. kibuneana.

The marine phytoplankton diatom Thalassiosira species are described from the Korean coastal waters, based onobservations of Fine structutre of its frustules. As a fourth series, this study deals with 5 Thlassiosira species (T. decip-iens, T. ecgentrica, T. mala, T. nodulolinmta, and T. proschinae). The most striking features of these species are also theform and position of two processes on frustules. There is a central strutted process on valve face except T. nodvlolin-eata, which has a modified one on its center. The extemal tubes of marginal strutted processes are divided twoforms: "pile" form in T. decipiens and T. proschkinae, "short straw" form in T. eccentrica and T. nodulolineata. T. maladoes not present the extemal tubes in valve margin. The labiate processes are located in valve margin except T.proschkinae, which has it on valve face. Of theae, thrce species (T. mala, T. nodulineata at a final contentration of 5%and T. proschkinae were newly recorded in the coastal waters of Korea.
