Abstract

A new species Diplastrella yongmeoriensis n. sp. was collected from Jejudo Island, Korea in 2008. This new species is similar to D. bistellata (Schmidt, 1862) in growth form and skeletal structure but differs in the composition and size of spicules. The genus Diplastrella is reported for the first time in Korea.
