Abstract

A squillid stomatopod, Oratosquilla fabricii, collected from Jindo Island, is reported for the first time in Korea. The family Squillidae differs from other families by the presence of more than four intermediate denticles of telson. This species is distinguished from O. oratoria, another Oratosquilla species recorded in Korea, by the presence of an armed submedian carinae on the fourth abdominal somite and dark patches on the second abdominal somite. In the present study, detailed descriptions and illustrations of O. fabricii are provided. A key to the species of Korean Oratosquilla species is also presented. With this new record, the number of stomatopod species in the Korean fauna has increased to 16.
