Abstract

To clarify the taxonomy and the distribution on subclass Aspidochirotacea and Apodacea, the authors examined the materials which were collected from 48 localities during the period from 1962 to 1995 . As a result, the specimens of holothurians are classified into 3 orders, 5 families and 8 specie. Among them , the following 4 species are found to be new to the Korean fauna : Molpaida oolitica, Paracaudina chilensis, Acaudina molpadioides and Caudina similis.

한국산 순수아강과 무족아강(해서강, 극피동물문)에 대한 분류 및 분포를 밝히기 위해 1962년부터 1995년까지 우리나라 삼면 연안과 도사지방의 48개 지역으로부터 채집된 재료들을 동정, 분류한 결과 3목 5과 8종에 속하는 해서류가 밝혀졌다. 그중 은족목에 속하는 4종: Molpaida oolitica, Paracaudina chilensis, Acaudina molpadioides 그리고 Caudina similis는 한국미기록종이었다..
