Abstract

A new species of the family Thorectidae, Narrabeena nigra n. sp. is described. This species was collected from the front of Songaksan, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jejudo Island, Korea. Narrabeena nigra n. sp. is similar to Narrabeena lamellate (Bergquist, 1980) with uncored primary and secondary fibres and an unarmoured surface. They differ in growth form, colour, and fibres.
