  • Two new Hydropsychidae (Insecta: Trichoptera) species from the Philippines are described. Hydropsyche philippinensis, n. sp., differs from other congeners in the structure of the phallic apparatus. Diplectrona lagunensis, n. sp., can be distinguished from other congeners by its distinct white band pattern in the forewings and by the structure of the phallus. Both new species were collected from a high mountain stream in the northern part of the Philippines. Paratype materials were barcoded to make the sequences readily available in the GenBank.

  • A new marine sponge in the family Microcionidae, Ophlitaspongia yongjeongensis n. sp. is collected from Yongjeong-ri, Hyeongyeong-myeon, Muan-gun, Korea during 2005-2007. O. yongjeongensis n. sp. is closely related to O. reticulata in growth form (shape and color). However, the thick style and slender style of O. yongjeongensis n. sp. are larger than O. reticulata's (Bergquist and Fromont, 1988).

  • A new asteroid specimen was collected at a depth of 400 m in the East Sea. It was identified as Lophaster furcilliger Fisher, 1905 belonging to the family Solasteridae of the order Velatida. This species is new to the Korean fauna. Thirty asteroid species including L. furcilliger have been reported in the East Sea of Korea so far.

  • A new species Diplastrella yongmeoriensis n. sp. was collected from Jejudo Island, Korea in 2008. This new species is similar to D. bistellata (Schmidt, 1862) in growth form and skeletal structure but differs in the composition and size of spicules. The genus Diplastrella is reported for the first time in Korea.

  • Tunicates were collected from three harbors (Gampo, Bangeojin, Daebyeon) in Gyeongsangnam-do and one harbor (Seogwipo) in Jejudo Island during the period from August 2008 to January 2011 and were identified on the basis of their morphological characteristics. Among them, colonial tunicate Clavelina lepadiformis (Muller, 1776) belonging to the family Clavelinidae was found to be an invasive alien species introduced from the North Atlantic, and this is the first record of its occurrence in Korea.

  • Two new marine sponges in genus Suberites, S. hataedoensis n. sp and S. waedoensis n. sp have been collected from Hataedo Island and Waedo Island, Korea during 2005-2006. S. hataedoensis n. sp. is similar to S. durissimus in the spicule composition and texture. However, they differ in growth form, skeleton and surface. S. waedoensis n. sp. is similar to S. japonicus in spicule composition and skeleton. However, they differ in growth form, surface and texture.
