First record of the Cleantioides rotundata (Malacostraca: Isopoda: Holognathidae) from South Korea
GISIK MIN
Abstract
Cleantioides rotundata (Kussakin, 1982) is reported for the first time in South Korea. Specimens of C. rotundata were collected with a small hand net from the intertidal zone of Opo-ri, Yeongdeok-gun in South Korea. This species makes tubes using seagrass debris at our sampling location and distinguished by the following characteristics: pleotelson long, length almost 1.6 times as long as width; dorsum of distal one third with deeply bilobed depression on plane. In this paper, we provide descriptions of diagnostic characteristics and illustrations of morphology of C. rotundata. Additionally, a key to the Korean species of the genus Cleantioides is provided and the partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) are provided as molecular characteristics.
