Abstract
A newly recorded species Orientomaera incisa Ariyama, 2020, belonging to the family Maeridae Krapp Schickel, 2008, was collected from the sublittoral waters of the East Sea, Korea. Previously, only one species, O. brevispina (Kim and Kim, 1991), was reported in Korea. This species morphologically similar to O.
brevispina however, the species can be easily distinguished from the O. brevispina by having two distinct teeth on palm of gnathopod 2. The newly recorded species is described and fully illustrated in the present study.
