Abstract

Two isopods, Elaphognathia lucanoides Monod, 1926 and Limnoria saseboensis Menzies, 1957, are newly recorded in Korean fauna. Elaphognathia lucanoides can be distinguished from its congeners by the following characteristics combined: the cephalon is strongly excavated on the anterior margin; the paraocular ornamentation is forming a ridge distinctly; and the mandible is longer than cephalon. Limnoria saseboensis differs from the related species by the following features: pleonite 5 has two parallel longitudinal carinae; the pleotelson has one or two pairs of tubercles and two carinae; and the tubercles are present on the posterior margin of the pleotelson. In this paper, detailed descriptions and figures of these two species are provided.
