This species is a new record for North Korea. Materials examined: 1, Pyongyang, Pyongyang City, Collection no. 534, from soil and moss sample extracted with Berlese-funnels, 15 Sept. 1979, Steinmann and Vásárhelyi; 2, ML Lyong-ak-san (15 km W of Pyongyang), Pyongan-nam-do Prov., Collection no. 622, from litter sample extracted with Berlese-funnels, 9 Sept. 1980, Forró and Topái. Distribution: Japan, Korea (South and North Koreas). Homidia phjongjangica Szeptycki, 1973 Homidia phjongjangica Szeptycki, 1973: p. 32, Figs. 3A, 4A, Pi.I, A-J. Homidia bilineata Lee et Park 1984: p. 185, Fig. 6, syu. n. The present material conforms to the description made by Szeptycki (1973) based on his specimens from North Korea. We have come to the conclusion that H. bilineata Lee et Park, 1984 from South Korea is synonymous with H. phjongjangica Szeptycki, 1973. Materials examined: 1, Mt.

Body length 5.7 mm Eyes 6+6, black. Unguis with 4 inner teeth and Unguiculus lanceolate, with one inner tooth. Rami tenaculi quadridentate, corpus with 1 seta. Dental spines 1/9, I, all simple. Inner spiniform dental scale present. Mucro in structure, typical for the genus having two basal teeth and one dorsal lamellus bearing 7 intermittent teeth. This species is a new record for Korea. Material examined: 1, NW of Samjiyon (31 km on Mt. Peckdu-san road, 2000 m), Ryanggang-do Prov., Collection no. 1356, sifting decayed Trunks of Larix olgensis extracted with Winkler-Moczarsky funnels (Vegetation: Larix olgensis-forest, not mixed with Betula pendula, with rather poor underwood, not far from the tree-borderline), 28 June 1988, Merkl and Szél. Remarks: In regard to variability of T. flavescens, Christiansen (1964) recognized two types (type 1, type 2) of mucro, four types of unguis ( a, b, c, d), and five types of dens (A, B, C, D, E). According to him, the present specimens are closely related
