They inhabit soil­litter habitats and the nests of vertebrates and arthropods as obligate and facultative parasites of vertebrates, insect paraphages, and free­ living predators that predatory laelapids tend to be vora­ cious, polyphagous predator they reproduce quickly and can be reared easily (Walter and Oliver, 1989; Gillespie and Quiring, 1990; Lesna et al., 1995). These make them biological control agent of pests in soil such as Hypoaspis aculeifer (Beaulieu, 2009). Resource explorations of po­ tentially important natural enemies are becoming more important after the Nagoya protocol of protecting the genetic resources. In Korea, 10 genera, 25 species are listed (NIBR, 2013). The classification of family Laelapidae is unstable with different concepts of genera and subgenera for ex­ ample, Evans and Till (1966), Van Aswegen and Loots (1970), Tenorio (1982) and Karg (1993). The subfamily Hypo aspidinae (Hypoaspididae of Karg, 1993) often are col lected in litter and soil substrates and those often in­ cluded, while other genera are routinely or occasionally encountered in the nests of mammals or arthropods or directly associated with insects (Evans and Till, 1966; 1979; Hunter and Rosario, 1988; Karg, 1993). The sub­ family Melittiphidinae sensu Casanueva (1993) includes genera that have established close associations with ants and bees and they often appear in considerable numbers in host and hives (Lindquist et al., 2009). Adult of the melittiphidine tribe Varroini is now considered as family Varroidae (Casanueva, 1993). The Laelapinae includes a large number of genera that are primarily facultative nest parasites of rodents, although some have associa­ tion with bats or primates (Radovsky, 1967; 1969; 1985) (as occurs also in the subfamily Hirstionyssinae). This subfamily Hypoaspidinae is usually considered to comprise the genera Hypoaspis Canestrini, 1884 sens. lat. In the world, genus Hypoaspis Canestrini, 1884 were records total 10 genera, 224 species: subgenus Hypoaspis, Euandrolaelaps, Holostaspis ( = Olalaelaps), Laelaps, Gaeolaelaps, Alloparasitus, Hypohasta, Euryaspis, Hypoaspisella, Cosmolaelaps (Hallan, 2005). The genus Hypoaspis as defined corresponds to the subgenus Alloparasitus they lack the diagnostic long Z4. Geni­ tal shield of female is much larger, almost reached to the anal shield. Genital shield setae have more than the normal genital shield setae. Genu IV is with eight setae. Peritrematic shield in the female free posteriorly and ex­ tending well beyond the posterior margins of coxae IV.

Owing to their richness in freshwater ecosystem and sensitivity to environmental changes, microturbellarinas have poten­ tials as indicator species of water quality (Young, 2001). Approximately 400 species of freshwater microturbel­ larians have been reported and about 350 species and 150 species were described from Europe and North Ame­ rica, respectively (Kolasa, 1991).

This family is divided into several genera based on the number of the thoracic segments and the arrangement of capillary chaetae and hooded hooks (Fauchald, 1977; Amaral, 1980; Hutchings and Rainer, 1982; Warren et al., 1994; Green, 2002). Currently, 44 genera have been classified and about 170 species are known worldwide in this fam­ ily (Fauchald, 1977; Yabe and Mawatari, 1998; Green, 2002). Because of their high abundance and ecological im­ portance in marine benthic environments, many species of capitellid polychaetes have been included in various ecological studies as the major components of macro­ benthic faunal community (Dean, 2001; García­Garza and León­González, 2011). Among them, Heteromastus filiformis (Claparède, 1864), the type species of the ge­ nus, is known as a cosmopolitan one bearing wide vari­ ety of the habitats and has been referred to in many eco­ logical studies (Hutchings and Rainer, 1982). In Korean waters, only three capitellid species each assigned in different genera, Capitella capitata Eisig, 1887, Notomastus latericeus Sars, 1851, and Dasybranchus cauducus Grube, 1846, are taxonomically recorded (Paik, 1978; 1979; 1980; 1982; 1989). Besides to these, two capitellid species, Heteromastus filiformis (Claparède, 1864) and Mediomastus californiensis Hartman, 1944, have been reported as one of the members of benthic macroinvertebrate community through many ecological studies without any taxonomical consideration (Hong et al., 2000; Choi et al., 2003; Shin et al., 2004; Seo et al., 2009; Jung et al., 2014, etc.). Although Heteromastus filiformis is one of the capitellid species that has been most frequently reported from Korean waters by such ecological studies (Jung et al., 1997; 2012; Hong et al., 2000; Choi et al., 2003; Shin et al., 2004, etc.), its taxo­ nomical reality has not yet been examined in Korean wa­ ters.

Known as predators, they feed on collembolans, dipter­ ous larvae, mites, nematodes and other small soil dwell­ ing animals. The family contains two subfamilies, the Parasitinae and Pergamasinae even with some disagree­ ments on the lower level taxonomy with broader (e.g. Micherdzinski, 1969; Tichmirov, 1969; Karg, 1993b) and narrower view (e.g. Evans and Till 1979; Athias­ Henriot, 1980; 1982b; Juvara­Bals, 2002). This study followed the concept of Athias­Henriot (1980; 1982b). In the subfamily Pergamasinae, male has the base of the tri­ tosternum covered by the genital operculum and female has an undivided dorsal shield. Deutonymphs are not phoretic (Evans, 1992). They commonly inhabit relative­ ly stable forest and grassland humus, moss, and soil eco­ systems (Bhattacharyya, 1963; Holzmann, 1969; Karg, 1993b). Some members of the genus Holoparasitus are associated with wet habitats, such as fresh and saltwater marshes and beach wrack (Hyatt, 1987; Karg, 1993b). In the subfamily Parasitinae, male has the base of the tri­ tosternum not covered by the genital operculum, and fe­ male has divided dorsal shields. They commonly occur in temporary accumulations of organic debris, including manure, vegetable compost and in the nest habitats of mammals and insects (Hyatt, 1980; Karg, 1993b). Deu­ tonymphs are often phoretic on dung­ or compost in­ habiting insects (Scarabaeidae), bark­inhabiting beetles (Cerambycidae), or ground­nesting bees (Rapp, 1959; Binns, 1982). The occurrence of these often conspicu­ ous mites on insect carriers was misconstrued as parasit­ ism by early observers and apparently led to their being named Parasitus and “Parasitids” (Oudemans, 1936a). Global diversity of Mesostigmata incompasses 100 families, 887 genera, 8,280 species, and that of Parasiti­ dae comprises 2 subfamily 32 genera, 363 species in the world (Hallan, 2005). In Korea, 29 families, 92 genera, 237 species of Mesostigmata were recorded with 2 sub­ family 6 genera, 22 species of Parasitidae (NIBR, 2013) (Table 1). Among those 20 species were recorded from North­ ern part of Korea by Athias­Henriot (1977; 1980), Daele (1975) and Tichomirov (1977), but two from Southern part of Korea by Choi (1994) and Korean zoological record (KSSZ, 1997). During the faunal study of soil predatory mites of diverse habitats in Southern part of Korea, 13 species of Parasitidae mites were recovered. Among those, four species of P. beta, P. fimetorum, P. insignis and Poecilochirus carabi are the new records to Korean peninsula (Fig. 1).
