Finding of a new freshwater gammarid (Gammarus gageoensis) from South Korea

김민섭,이경숙,민기식 한국통합생물학회 2010 Animal cells and systems Vol.14 No.1

Gammarus gageoensis n. sp., a new species of Gammaridae Amphipoda, was collected from Gageodo Island, South Korea. This new species is characterized in terms of its morphology by the flagellum of antenna 2 with calceoli, the pereopods 3 and 4 with numerous long curled setae on the posterior margins, the terminal article of the outer ramus in uropod 3, which is longer than the adjacent spines, and the presence of both rami with long simple setae. The morphological characters of the new species that are different to related species are presented in the text. This paper also compares the new species to related species by the partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene. The sequence difference, consisting of a 39-44% difference relative to closely related species, is also large enough to designate this gammarid as a different species from those of other freshwater gammarid species. This is the first finding of a new species of Korean freshwater gammarid since 1992. Including this new species, a total of 10 species are known to Korea.

Review of the description pattern of newly recorded insect species from 1999 to 2009 in Korea

Choi, Sei-Woong,Na, Sang-Deok The Korean Society for Integrative Biology 2010 Animal cells and systems Vol.14 No.3

The characteristics of insect communities in specific localities reflect climatic and environmental status and change. We investigated the description pattern of new insect species by reviewing announcements of new or newly recorded insects in Korea published in five systematic journals between 1999 and 2009: Entomological Research (1999-2009), Insect Koreana (1999-2003), Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology (1999-2009), Korean Journal of Applied Entomology (1999-2009), and Korean Journal of Systematic Zoology (1999-2009). A total of 757 new species were reported in 299 research papers. More than 85% of the newly described or reported species belonged to four orders: Coleoptera (225 species), Lepidoptera (202 species), Hymenoptera (141 species), and Diptera (82 species). The number of new species fluctuated from year to year, and a few major authors described most species. The graph of the cumulative number of species described in Korea was not asymptotic. We also examined the decadal trends in the proportion of species according to their biogeographical origin. The numbers of northern (Palearctic and Nearctic) and southern (Oriental) species recorded in Korea between 1999 and 2009 were increasing mainly due to the recent taxonomic research environment. It is also possible that recent climatic change induces new migrants toKorea from more southern parts of Oriental region, but more information is needed to confirm this hypothesis.

A Review of South Korean Teleutaea (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Banchinae) with a New Species

Gyu-Won Kang,Jong-Wook Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2017 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2017 No.04

The Banchinae are a large cosmopolitan subfamily that includes approximately 1,800 species in 67 genera. The number of species in South Korea is still pooly known and only 18 of the 312 Eastern Palaearctic species have been reported (Yu et al., 2016). Most species are koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae and pupae. Teleutaea is a moderately sized genus, comprises 20 described species from Palaearctic, Neotropic and Oriental regions. One species has been described from Mexico. The data of the species from the neighbor countries was summarized as follow: 10 species from Russia (Kuslitzky, 2007); 10 species from Japan (Momoi, 1978; Watanabe & Maeto 2014); 15 species from China continental (Sheng, 2014); three species from Taiwan (Chiu, 1965). Until now the genus was not known from South Korea. Members of this genus parasitize on lepidopterous larvae and pupae living in different kinds of hideaways after than, they emerge from the pupa as adult. As a result, we newly recorded seven species from South Korea including a new species. The key for identification of the South Korean species of Teleutaea and description of a new species are provided.

A New Species of the Genus Burmoniscus (Isopoda, Oniscidea, Philosciidae) from Ko Phuket, Thailand

전대수,권도헌 한국동물분류학회 2009 Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity Vol.25 No.2

A new species, Burmoniscus phuketensis, is described from Ko Phuket, Thailand. The new species belongs to the group characterized by male pereopods 1 and 2 with enlarged and flattened carpi, including B. coecus (Budde-Lund, 1895), B. ferrarai (Schumalfuss, 1983), B. mossambicus (Ferrara and Taiti, 1985), B. rowei Taiti and Manicastri, 1988, and B. rakataensis Green, Ferrara and Taiti, 1990. Among them, this new species resembles B. coecus and B. rakataensis in the pigmentless body and the shape of pereonite 7 epimeron with acute postero-lateral corner, but is easily distinguished from both specie by the shape of telson. While the eyes are absent in B. coecus, they are present in this new species. A new species, Burmoniscus phuketensis, is described from Ko Phuket, Thailand.

A new species of the genus Adoxophyes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) intercepted from the sweet cherry imported from China

Young Mi Park,Deuk-Soo Choi 한국응용곤충학회 2008 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2008 No.10

A new species of Adoxophyes is described, illustrated, and distinguished from closely resembling species. Larvae of this species were discovered on sweet cherry (Prunus avium) imported from China and intercepted under plant quarantine inspection at Korean sea- and airport. They were reared to adult in the laboratory for identification. We provide a full description of the new species based on adult of female external structures. In addition, we conducted a comparative study of three related species (A. orana, A. honmai, and A. new species) and provided a key to distinguish them. To confirm the identity of new species, we compared barcoding sequences (~472 bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene from 11 specimens of three Adoxophyes species. As a result of this study, we confirmed the identity of Adoxophyes new species. We also provided pairwise p-distances among the species and their neighbor-joining tree.

Two Unrecorded Apiospora Species Isolated from Marine Substrates in Korea with Eight New Combinations (A. piptatheri and A. rasikravindrae)

Kwon Sun Lul,Cho Minseo,Lee Young Min,Kim Changmu,Lee Soo Min,Ahn Byoung Jun,Lee Hanbyul,Kim Jae-Jin 한국균학회 2022 Mycobiology Vol.50 No.1

Although Apiospora Sacc. has previously been considered a sexual morph of Arthrinium spe- cies on the basis of phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological diagnoses, a recent study delimited these as different species. Recently, 14 species, including eight new species, of marine Arthrinium have been reported from Korea. Six known species have previously been renamed as species in the genus Apiospora (A. arundinis, A. marii, A. piptatheri, A. rasikravin- drae, A. sacchari, and A. saccharicola). However, the eight new species of marine Arthrinium (Ar. agari, Ar. arctoscopi, Ar. fermenti, Ar. koreanum, Ar. marinum, Ar. pusillispermum, Ar. sar- gassi, and Ar. taeanense) are yet to be studied, and thus the taxonomic status of these spe- cies remains to be clarified. In this study, we conducted phylogenetic analyses using the internal transcribed spacer, 28S large subunit ribosomal RNA gene, translation elongation factor 1-alpha, and beta-tubulin regions to confirm the phylogenetic position of these eight species. Based on these analyses, we re-identified the eight Arthrinium species as new com- binations in Apiospora. Additionally, among the six known Apiospora species, two (A. pipta- theri and A. rasikravindrae) have not previously been recorded in Korea. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses, we report these as new species in Korea. Herein, we present scanning electron micrographs detailing the morphologies of these species, along with phylogenetic trees and detailed descriptions.

Jin-Kyung Choi,Jong-Chul Jeong,Jin-Yeol Cha,Jong-Wook Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.04

The genus Pristomerus Curtis, 1836 is one of among 36 genera belonging to the subfamily Cremastinae. This genus is a large genus with 100 worldwide species distributed (Yu et al., 2012). Also, from this genus have been reported 15 species in Eastern Palaearctic, eight species from China, seven species from Japan and three species from Korea. Subfamily Cremastinae is known as koinobiont endoparasitoids of solitary larval-pupa mostly Lepidoptera and Coleoptera (Fitton & Gauld 1980). Spectrum of host species of Pristomerus include various small Lepidoptera living in tunnels, leaf rolls, buds and other hidden areas (Rousse et al., 2011). Genus Pristomerus can be easily distinguished from other genera by the following characters: hind femur with ventral tooth; deep gastrocoelus on tergite II. Three species from this genus, Pristomerus chinensis Ashmead, 1906, P. erythrothoracis Uchida, 1933, and P. vulnerator (Panzer, 1799), have been reported from Korea previously. In this study we report three newly recorded species, Pristomerus rufiabdomenalis Uchida, 1928, P. parilis Kusigemati, 1984, P. kendarensis Kusigemati, 1984, and described three new species. Here we provide the descriptions and photographs of six species of genus Pristomerus, and species key.
