FOLIA XLII (XXXIV). 1. ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK 1981 p. 25-30 Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Korea, 2 By C. A. Coilingwood (Received December 15, 1980) Abstract: Collections taken during a Third Expedition to Democratic People's Republic of Korea by the Hungarian Natural History Museum have been examined. Among the 23 species of ants recognised, six are additional to those listed in a previous paper bringing the known total for North Korea to 70 recorded forms. The additional species include Aphaenogaster famelica iSmith, Leptothorax acervorum (Fabricius), Camponotus itol F Orel, La8iu3 flavus (Fabricius) and Prenolepis melanogaster Emery. A further collection of Formicidae from the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea was sent to me by Dr. J. PAPP of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. A full account of this third expedition undertaken during July 1975, is given by PAPP and VOJNITS (1976). Collections were made variously by sweep net, singling, soil extraction. Malaise and mercury vapour light traps. In addition to this material some specimens from the earlier expeditions that had not been examined, are included in the present study. The results from the three expeditions so far undertaken by the Hungarian Natural History Museum bring the total recorded ant fauna of North Korea to 70 species. The areas visited include: Ryang Gang Province: the coniferous forests of the Chann-Pay plateau and the Pektusan mountain, Nos 194, 196, 275-297 eleven species.
