Biting midges belonging to the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) were collected by Mosquito Magnet(®) and black light traps at 5 sites on Jeju-do, Republic of Korea (Korea), from May-November 2013 to determine species diversity and seasonal distribution. A total of 4,267 specimens were collected, of which 99.9% were female. The most common species was Culicoides tainanus (91.8%), followed by C. lungchiensis (7.2%) and C. punctatus (0.6%), while the remaining 4 species accounted for <0.5% of all Culicoides spp. that were collected. High numbers of C. tainanus were collected in May, followed by decreasing numbers through August, and then increasing numbers through November when surveillance was terminated. Peak numbers of C. lungchiensis were collected during September, with low numbers collected from May-August and October-November. The presence of C. lungchiensis in Korea was confirmed by morphological and molecular analyses.
2013年5月至11月，在韩国济州岛的5个地点，使用灭蚊器（Mosquito Magnet®）和黑光诱捕器收集属于库蠓属（双翅目：蠓科）的咬蠓，以确定物种多样性和季节分布。共收集到4267个标本，其中99.9%为雌性。最常见的物种是台南库蠓（91.8%），其次是龙池库蠓（7.2%）和 punctatus库蠓（0.6%），而其余4个物种占所有收集到的库蠓属物种的比例不到0.5%。5月收集到大量的台南库蠓,随后数量在8月逐渐减少，然后在11月监测结束时数量又增加。9月收集到龙池库蠓的数量达到峰值，5月至8月以及10月至11月收集到的数量较少。通过形态学和分子分析证实了龙池库蠓在韩国的存在。
