Abstract

Zygomolgus dentatus n. sp. is described based on specimens from washings of compound ascidians from intertidal shores of Korea. It possesses the long caudal rami which are 5.6 times as long as their width, four scales on the convex side of mandible, and three setal elements and a large process on maxillule. Lichomolgides cuanensis Gotto, the only representative of the genus Lichomolgides, is transferred to the genus Zygomolgus.
