Four new Korean records of the gammarid (Crustacea, Amphipoda), Grandidierella fasciata Ariyama, 1996; Moolapheonoides acutifalcatus Kobayashi and Ishimaru, 2005; Guernea terelamina Hirayama, 1985; and Gordonodius zelleri (Berge, Vader and Coleman, 1999) were reported from the Korean indigenous species survey project funded by the National Institute of Biological Resources (2014-2015). Each of these species is well accorded with the original description for the species except for some minor morphological differences. The genera Moolapheonoides Barnard, 1974 and Gordonodius Ariyama, 2011 are reported for the first time from Korea.
