to his „morphotype aA", but mucros in the present material do not allow them to fit either type 1, orto type 2, due to the 7 intermittent teeth in the mucros. Distribution: North America, Europe, Japan, Korea (North Korea). Tomocerus (s. str.) minutus Tullberg, 1876 Tomocerus minutus Tullberg, 1876: p. 32, Figs. 9-10; Palissa 1966: p. 60, Figs. 47­48; Martynova 1969: p. 308-310, Fig. 10-11. Tomocerus mixtus Gisin, 1961: p. 348, Fig. 19. Tomocerus (Tomocerus) minutus: Szeptycki 1967: p. 236, Pl. XXXI, Figs 4-6. Tomocerus (Tomocerina) minutus: Yosii 1967: p. 20; Dunger 1972: p. 17. Length of body up to 1.1 mm. Ground colour pale yellow. Antennae shorter than half of the body. Eyes 6+6, intensely black. Labral setae 4/5, 5, 4, margin with 4 recurving spinules. Unguis with 1 or 2 inner teeth. Unguiculus without tooth. Tro­chanteral organ reduced to 1,1 setae. Dental spines 2,11/1, I, 1, I, all simple. Mucro with one intermittent tooth, lying at about half distance from the outer one of the two dorsal lamellae. This species is a new record for Korea. Materials examined: 11, Mt. Myohyang-san, Chagang-do Prov., Collection no. 656, from moss sample extracted with Berlese-funnels, 13 Sept. 1980, Forró and Topái; 3, Mt. Myohyang-san, Pyongan-bug-do Prov., Collection nos. 782, 819, in sifted litter taken from a mixed arboreal forest extracted with Moczarsky-Winkler apparatus, 13 and 17 July 1982, Forró and Ronkay. Remarks: The enormous variation within this species was already noticed and analyzed in detail (Martynova 1969). However, the present specimen, in view of the number and arrangement of dental spines, corresponds to Tomocerus mixtus Gisin, 1961 even though the latter had been synonymized with T. minutus by a few authors (Szeptycki 1967, Yosii 1967, Marty­nova 1969, Dunger 1972). In view that no other forms of the presumed variation of T. minutus have been observed from the collection site in question, it may deserve the status of a separate subspecies of T. minutus according to further studies to confirm the variation. Distribution: Europe, Japan, USSR, China, N. America, Korea (North Korea). Tomocerus (s. str.) liliputanus Yosii, 1967 Tomocerus (Tomocerina) liliputanus Yosii, 1967: p. 18, Fig. 8; Yosii 1969: p. 554; Lee 1975: p. 955, Fig. 6. Tomocerus (s. str.) liliputanus: Lee 1983: p. 5, Fig. 7. This species differs from T. varius and T. minutus in the arrangement of its dental spines. According to Yosii (1969: p. 554), it usually has 5+5 eyes, but specimens with 6+6 eyes may often be found, too. The present materials are with 6+6 eyes. This species is a new record for North Korea. Materials examined: 1, Mt Myohyang-san, Chagang-do Prov., Collection no. 656, from moss sample, extracted with Berlese-funnels, 13 Sept. 1980, Forró and Topái; 1, Mt. Myohyang-san, Pyongan-bug-do Prov., Collection no. 819, in sifted material collected in the mixed arboreal forest extracted with Moczarsky-Winkler apparatus, 17 July 1982, Forró and Ronkay. Distribution: Japan, Korea (South and North Koreas).
