Two new gastrotrich species belonging to genus Tetranchyroderma are described on the basis of the specimens from intertidal or sublittoral sand bottoms of South Korea. Tetranchyroderma heterotentaculatum, n. sp. is clearly differentiated from its congeners by the character combination: the cuticular armature with pentancres, modified rod-like cephalic tentacles, and three pairs of dorsolateral adhesive tubes. Tetranchyroderma hoonsooi, n. sp. possesses tetrancres, paired lateral cephalic tentacles, and ventro-lateral adhesive tubes along whole lateral margin, while lacks dorsal adhesive tubes. Affinities with its congeners and variability within the species are discussed, with brief notes on morphological discrepancies between adults and juveniles.

Two new marine gastrotrichs of the family Thaumastodermatidae are described from South Korea. Tetranchyroderma gracilium n. sp. bears pestle organs, tetrancres, and two pairs of large dorsolateral tubes. It seems most closely related to T. massiliense Swedmark, T. heterotubulatum Hummon, Todaro and Tongiorgi, and T. boreale Clausen. Thaumastoderma copiophorum n. sp. has five pairs of dorsal cirrata, the overall picture of which differs clearly from that of all known species. In the presence of accessory cirrata, it relates to T. appendiculatum Chang, Lee and Clausen.
