Abstract

Two newly recorded opheliid polychaetes, Armandia amakusaensis Saito, Tamaki and Imajima, 2000 and Polyophthalmus qingdaoensis Purschke, Ding and $M{\ddot{u}}ller$, 1995, from Korean waters are reported with the descriptions and illustrations. Armandia amakusaensis can be clearly distinguished from its congeners by the following characteristics: the prostomium has 2 or 3 subdermal eyespots; total number of setigers are 29; the branchiae are present on the setigers from the setiger 2 to the second or third from the last setiger; the lateral eyespots beginning from the setiger 7 are composed of 11 pairs; the anal funnel has 8~11 papillae and a long cirrus. Polyophthalmus qingdaoensis has the distinguishable characteristics from its relatives as follows: the prostomium has a brain bearing dark pigment-spots; the lateral eyespots are distinct; the body has only dark pigment-streaks on dorsal side. We also provide the keys for distinguishing the species of the genera Armandia and Polyophthalmus from Korean waters.
