New record of two cymothoid isopods (Crustacea: Malacostraca: Isopoda) from South Korea
GISIK MIN
Abstract
Two marine isopods, Elaphognathia sugashimaensis (Nunomura, 1981) and Metacirolana shijikiensis Nunomura, 2008, have been reported for the first time in South Korea. Specimens of E. sugashimaensis and M. shijikiensis were collected using light traps from Yeongdeok-gun and Gageo-do Island in South Korea, respectively. The genera Elaphognathia Monod, 1926 and Metacirolana Kussakin, 1979 are new to South Korea. In this paper, we provide descriptions of diagnostic characteristics and illustrations of their morphologies. Additionally, the partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) of two species are provided as molecular characteristics.
