This study was carried out on freshwater chlorococcal green algae in ponds, swamps, reservoirs, lakes and rivers (290 sites) from May 2012 to January 2014. The family Radiococaceae was identified and classified into 3 genera, 12 species and 1 variety at 23 sites. These taxa were Eutetramorus. nygaardii, E. tetraporus, E. planctonicus, E. fottii, E. globosus, E. polycoccus, Coenocystis planctonica, C. planctonica var. hercynica, C. micrococca, C. subcylindrica, Gloeocystis baneergattensis, G. papuana, and G. polydermatica. These taxa may or not had remnants of the cell wall in the colonial gelatinous envelope for a short time. Of these, 2 taxa are newly recorded in Korea from this study: 1) C. micrococca and 2) G. polydermatica.

A newly recorded species of gammaridean amphipod, Cryptodius kelleri (Br$\ddot{u}$ggen, 1907) belonging to the family Odiidae Coleman and Barnard, 1991 collected from the east coastal area of Korea. Cryptodius kelleri (Br$\ddot{u}$ggen) is characterized by the medially expanded maxillipedal palp article 2, smooth dorsal pereonites, propodochelate gnathopod 1, subchelate gnathopod 2, lacking the posterior process on the basis of pereopods 5-7, dorsal carination of pleonite 3, posterolateral upturned process of pleonite 3, and an entire telson. The species is described and fully illustrated in the present study. A key is also provided to the species of genus Cryptodius. This is the first record of the family Odiidae from Korea.

A taxonomic review of the Korean Lycocerus (Cantharidae, Coleoptera) was presented. Through this study, total of four species were found from Korea including a species new to Korea, Lycocerus striatus. We newly provided a key to the Korean Lycocerus species and the distributional map on each species in this study.

Silene fissipetala Turcz., which is native to Continental China and Taiwan, was newly found in Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. S. fissipetala is similar to the related taxa S. antirrhina L., S. armeria L., and S. koreana Kom. in that it has glutinous zones. However, S. fissipetala is distinguished from the congeneric species by the presence of laciniate at the petals. The species grows on slopes and roadsides, suggesting that it is likely to have been introduced through the installation of green sites and road construction. A precise description, photographs, voucher specimens and a key to related taxa are provided.

The indigenous fungi in Mudeungsan National Park were investigated between 2020 and 2022. All collected specimens were identified to the species level based on their morphological characteristics and rDNA sequences. Species belonging to the family Boletaceae were analyzed in depth. Six species, Aureoboletus sinobadius, Hourangia densisquamata, H. nigropunctata, Tengioboletus glutinosus, Tylopilus himalayanus, and Xerocomus subparvus were newly recorded as macromycota in Korea.

A total of 56 genera and 101 species of the fly family Tephritidae have been previously recorded in Korea. As a result of an ongoing study of this family, I report the following ten additional species new to Korea: Actinoptera montana (Meijere, 1924), Actinoptera reticulata Ito, 1984, Campiglossa luxorientis(Hering, 1940), C. melanochroa (Hering, 1941), C. quadriguttata (Hendel, 1927), C. shensiana (Chen, 1938), Oxyna gansuica Wang, 1998, Tephritis jocaste Hering, 1953, Tephritis okera (Shinji, 1940), and Trupanea guttistella (Hering, 1951). Among the five genera involved here, the genus Actinoptera Rondani, 1871 is recognized for the first time in Korea. Therefore, 57 genera and 111 species are now officially recognized for the Korean tephritid fauna. For each newly recognized Korean species, I provide new Korean name, synonymy, taxonomic diagnosis and color photographs. When possible, I list the host records and discuss their intraspecific variability and sexual dimorphism.

Five newly recorded species of cyanobacteria in Korea are Sphaerospermopsis reniformis(Aphanizomenonaceae) from Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do; Pelatocladus maniniholoensis (Hapalosiphonaceae) from Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do; Tolypothrix carrinoi (Tolypothrichaceae) and Myxacorys chilensis (Leptolyngbyaceae) from Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do; and Tildeniella torsiva (Oculatellaceae) from Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do. These species are morphologically similar to each of its corresponding type species, and clustered in the same clade with respective type species in the phylogeny using 16S rRNA. The similarity of 16S rRNA sequences was more than 98.5% with each of its respective type species.

Taxa in the order Chlorococcales inhabiting Hongcheon River, South Korea were collected and identified from December 2011 to September 2012. As a result, nine taxa in the Order Chlorococcales including unrecorded genera Oocystidium and Heleococcus were newly added to the Korean flora: Oocystidium ovale, Heleococcus mucicola, Chlorella mirabilis, Monoraphidium convolutum var. pseudosabulosum, M. minutum, Raphidocelis mucosa, Eutetramorus tetrasporus, Scenedesmus flavescens, and S. multicauda. The morphological characteristics of the nine taxa identified in this study mostly corresponded to already reported characteristics; however, M. minutum had a shorter cell length than the recorded description, Raphidocelis mucosa and S. flavescens were larger than previous descriptions, and Scenedesmus multicauda had larger spines than the cell itself. Eight of the nine taxa were found in planktonic samples, whereas Heleococcus mucicola was found in an epilithic sample. Therefore the Korean order Chlorococcales, including these newly reported ones, totals to 255 species.

A newly recorded species, Aora pseudotypica Hirayama, 1984, belonging to the family Aoridae Stebbing, 1899 was collected from Geomundo and Jejudo Islands in South Korea. This species is characterized by having large triangular process on basis of male gnathopod 1. It is morphologically similar to A. typica Krøyer, 1845, but distinguishable by the lack of a large rounded process on the anterior margins of basis and ischium on male gnathopod 1 and having small distal segment on outer ramus of uropod 3. To date, only two genera, Aoroides Walker, 1898 and Grandidierella Coutière, 1904, of the family Aoridae have been recorded in Korea, so this is the first record of the genus Aora from Korea.

In a faunal survey of the Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) from Is. Ulleung-do in the East Sea of Republic of Korea, one species of Gelechiidae, Bagdadia gnomia Ponomaranko, is reported for the first time from Korea and an unknown species of the genus Bryotropa was discovered. In addition, eight species of Gelechiidae including a little known species, Dichomeris anisacuminata Li & Zheng, were first recorded from Is. Ulleung-do. Images of adults and genitalia for the newly recorded species and a little known species are provided.
