Abstract

This paper describes three cyclostomatous bryozoans belonging to the family Tubuliporidae Johnston, 1838 from Korean waters. It was carried out with the materials which were collected from three localities during the period from 2011 to 2017. As a result of the present study, three cyclostomatous bryozoans, Exidmonea intercalata Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019, Qingdaoella conaria Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019 and Tubulipora perforata Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019 are newly added to the Korean bryozoan fauna. Furthermore, two genera, Exidmonea David, Mongereau & Pouyet, 1972 and Qingdaoella Liu, Liu & Zágoršek, 2019, are reported for the first time from Korea. These species were previously known only in Qingdao, China, which belongs to the temperate zone influenced by the Kuroshio Current. Descriptions and illustrations of the three cyclostomatous bryozoans using Scanning Electron Microscopy are provided in this study.
