Lasius meridionalis Bondroit - Locality No. 276 Ryang-Gang Province Hyesan, dÖ*. These were collected together with other Lasius males at mv light trap at the Hyesan hotel. In the previous paper this species was referred to as L. rabaudi Bondroit but following correspondence with Dr. Bohdan PISARSKI and the gift of a set of all three castes of true L. rabaudi from Czechslovakia by Petr WERNER it was realised that WILSON (1955) was incorrect in synonymising L. meridicnalis as L. rabaudi and the two species were quite distinct. In fact the majority of European samples as well as those from Japan should be referred to L. meridionalis which ha3 shorter much closer pubescence than L. rabaudi (Collingwood, 1979). Prenolepis melanogaster Emery - Locality No. 296 Ryang-Gang Province, Karim river. 1 - This single worker was netted in shrubby vegetation along the river in a deep valley. It is an interesting addition to the North Korean fauna but the assumed identity is for the present uncertain. ONOYAMA (1980) lists an unnamed Prenolepis from Japan. CHAPMAN and CAPCO (1951) in their cheek list of ants of Asia list P. melanogaster subsp. carinifrons Santschi 1920 from Tonkin in China and P. melanogaster was recorded from Upper Burma. This single specimen has the typical Prenolepis configuration with the eyes set well behind the middline of the head. The appendages lack setae and the body hairs are sparse. The dark propodeum and gaster contrast with the brownish red head and the rest of the alitrunk and the insect has a generally shining appearance. Paratrechina flavipes (F. Smith) - Locality Nos. 267, 314, 317, 324, 326, 327 South Pyongan and Gang-von Provinces, $p. - These were variously netted in the Pyongyan embassy garden and in coniferous forest also by soil bait trapping. Paratrechina sakurae (Ito) - Locality Nos. 273, 305, 324, 330 South Pyongan. Pyong Sung and Gang von Provinces - These were taken by sweeping vegetation in Castanea woodland. Paratrechina 9auteri (Forel) - Locality No. 267 South Pyongan Province, De-Sang san-, 317 Gang-von Province, Kum gang san. pp\ - Workers of this small Plagiolepis-like species were collected by sweeping in coniferous woodland and among shrubby vegetation in the Okru-dong valley respectively. Camponotus japonicus Mayr - Locality Nos. 267 South Pyongang Province; 295 Ryang Gang Province; 306 Pyong Sung Province; 320, 324 Gang-von Province. p£. - This species was variously netted and trapped in woodland areas. Three workers taken at locality 267 De-sang san district in coniferous woodland have the front of the head reddish as described for the form ater- rima Emery which was synonymised by YASUMATSU and BROWN (1951). Camponotus atrox Emery - Locality No. 322 Gang-von Province, On-dzong district pp. These were taken according to the locality no. at mv lamp in coniferous woodland suggesting that this species may be nocturnal in its behaviour . Camponotus sachalinensis Forel - Locality No. 280 Ryang-Gang Province Chann-Pay plateau. 3 pp. - These queen ants were taken by singling in Larix-Betula woodland clearings. Camponotus itoi Forel - Locality No. 267 South Pyongang Province De-sang san 1 p. - This single worker was netted from shrubby grassland in a coniferous wood arid is presumed to be a first record for this Japanese species for North Korea. Camponotus quadrinotatus Forel - Locality Nos. 304, 305 Pyong-Sung Province, Za-mo san §p; 317, 319, 322, 324 Gang-von Province On-dzong district. 66 pp. - The males were taken at mv light in coniferous woodland and the workers variously by sweeping. Plagiolepis mandzurica Ruzsky - Locality No. 273 South Pyongang Province, Nam-po. pp. A few workei-s were taken by sweeping shrubs in Castanea/Robinia woodland. Plagiolepis flavescens Collingwood - Locality No. 318 Gang-von Province On-dzong 1 p\ This single specimen was netted in a coniferous-locusc tree wood at Kum-gang san near Go-song hotel. The locality is presumably not far from Kum-gang san given as Kaesong Province in the previous paper. REFERENCES BONDROIT, J. (1919): Notes diverses sur les fourmis d'Europe. - Annls .Soc. ent.
