A Report of the Collecting of the Nineteenth Expedition - A detailed report on the zoological collecting trip to the Republic of Korea in 1994 with a complete list of localities and the collected Noctuidae are given. Within the framework of the cooperation of the Korean Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF) and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), the joint research work for the zoological and botanical studies of the Korean flora and fauna had been continued in 1994. The third lepidopterological expedition was carried out between 20th April-8th May, just after the First Joint Korean-Hungarian Seminar on the Korean Biota, hold in Budapest in February, 1994. The field work in Korea was organized by Professor Y. J. Kwon, Department of Agricultural Biology, Kyungpook National University, Taegu, Dr. S. B. Ahn, Department of Entomology, Agricultural Sciences Institute, Suweon and Dr. B. K. Byun, Center for Insect Systematics (CIS), Chuncheon, respectively. Our programme contained, besides the field work, studies on Korean material of Arctiidae, Geometridae and Noctuidae in the collections of various institutions, presentations in three Korean universities about the Hungarian Natural History Museum and the results on the lepidopterological researches in Korea. We planned to take collecting trips in the north-eastern and southern mountainous parts of the Republic of Korea, including the big southern volcanic island Cheju-do. We had the opportunity for a joint museum and field work with Dr. Vladimir Stepanovich Kononenko, Institute of Biology and Pedology, Far Eastern Scientific Centre, Vladivostok, during the second half of the study trip. In the first some days of our journey we could visit the mountains near to Taegu and the forest experimental station of the university in the Pohyonsan Mts. In the next week we had the opportunity to stay six days in the island Cheju and study the early spring arthropod fauna in different regions of the Mt. Halla-san, including the higher forest zone inside the Halla-san National Park. Returning from Cheju, we had a short week for field work in the north-eastern mountains. The CIS in Chuncheon was our basis in the third part of the journey, where we worked in the collection during the day and visited different places for collecting at the evenings in the mountains surrounding the city. We had collected in every place at a white screen illuminated with 125 W mercury vapour lamp supplied from a Honda generator and with two portable light-trap operated with 4 and 6 W UV-tubes; the sugar baits were also used in every night.
