Also confusing is the case with Entomobrya nana sp. n. which quite resembles E. albocincta from the Atlantic climatic regions by its pattern. The former, however, is mostly less than onethird the body length of the latter species, the two accordingly, should surely be different taxa, especially with regard to their quite separated localities. In this line, we observed a Homidia species demonstrating the pattern of Entomobrya firisana but definitely differentiated by having dental spines (Park 1984). Among the 28 species in 4 genera of Entomobryidae about one-fifth (6 species in 3 genera) are found to occur both in South and North Koreas. About one-third (8 species in 3 genera) of the Korean Entomobryidae, however, are shared with Japan, revealing thus a quite strong affinity to the Japanese fauna as compared to even between North and South Koreas in the same peninsula, as we see in Table 1 for the faunae of four neighbouring regions in the East Asia; Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. This curious affinity difference mentioned above remains to be confirmed by further studies even though Collembola are known to be one of highly localized taxa in speciation pattern. Too early as it may, on the other hand, to characterize any faunal or distributional pattern of Tomoceridae, which consists only of 19 species in 2 genera at the moment, its affinity within the peninsula seems quite evident, one-third (6 species) of them being shared by each of the two Koreas. However, furthermore, half (11 species) of all the known species of Tomoceridae is also shared with Japan, revealing their quite close affinity in Entomobryidae, too (Table 2). In all, additions are made with three and two species to each former lists of Entomobryidae and Tomoceridae respectively, and they eventually comprise in total 47 species in 6 genera of the two families. It is obvious that more collections should be made to elucidate and characterize phylogenetic patterns of Korean Collembola and as demonstrated in our earlier studies for the two families (Lee et al. 1984, 1985, Lee and Park 1991) systematic analysis at genetic level will certainly detect any possible spurious similarities of some biologically full species.
