The first record of Korean cyproideid amphipod, Cyproidea liodactyla Hirayama, 1978 is reported here with description and illustrations. This species has the following characteristics: the presence of dorsal keel of peduncle 2 on antenna 1, posterodistal process of ischium on gnathopod 1 and carpal process on gnathopod 2. In this study, the minor differences between the original description and our Korean specimens of Cyproidea liodactyla are discussed and a brief comparison to other related species such as C. serratipalma Schellenbeg, 1938 and C. robusta Ren, 2006 are suggested. In addition, a key to Korean species belonging to the family Cyproideidae is provided.
