This paper provides keys to tribes, genera and species and synonymic lists for the 12 butterfly species belonging to eight genera of Apaturinae (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from the Korean Peninsula: Apatura ilia (Denis and Schiffermüller), Apatura metis Freyer, Apatura iris (Linnaeus), Hestina japonica (Felder and Felder), Hestina assimilis (Linnaeus), Sasakia charonda (Hewitson), Mimathyma schrenckii (Ménétriès), Mimathyma nycteis (Ménétriès), Sephisa princeps (Fixsen), Chitoria ulupi (Doherty), Dilipa fenestra (Leech) and Dichorragia nesimachus (Doyère). Species accounts include brief summaries of each taxon’s biology, taxonomy and life history. The distributional ranges of the Hestina persimilis species complex are discussed and illustrated.

Crossbreeding experiments were used to estimate cryptic species in water bodies of Ukraine and Russia because the most useful criterion in species independence is reproductive isolation. The problem of cryptic species in the genus Eucyclops was examined using interpopulation crosses of populations collected from Baltic Sea basin (pond of Strelka river basin) and Black Sea basin (water-reservoires of Dnieper, Dniester and Danube rivers basins). The results of reciprocal crosses in Eucyclops serrulatus-group are shown that E. serrulatus from different populations but from water bodies belonging to the same river basin crossed each others successfully. The interpopulation crosses of E. serrulatus populations collected from different river basins (Dnipro, Danube and Dniester river basins) were sterile. In this group of experiments we assigned evidence of sterility to four categories: 1) incomplete copulation or absence of copulation; 2) nonviable eggs; 3) absence of egg membranes or egg sacs 4) empty egg membranes. These crossbreeding studies suggest the presence of cryptic species in the E. serrulatus inhabiting ecologically different populations in many parts of its range. The same crossbreeding experiments were carries out between Eucyclops serrulatus and morphological similar species – Eucyclops macruroides from Baltic and Black Sea basins. The reciprocal crossings between these two species were sterile. Thus taxonomic heterogeneity among species of genus Eucyclops lower in E. macruroides than in E. serrulatus. The interpopulation crosses of E. macruroides populations collected from distant part of range were fertile. These crossbreeding studies suggest that E. macruroides species complex was evaluated as more stable than E. serrulatus species complex.
