During the course of a systematic study of the marine bryozonans in Korean waters, a total of 25 species of the ascophoran bryoaoans were collected, and that the belong to 21 genera and 12 families. Of them, the following nine species new to Korean waters are examined and described with the scanning electron microscope(SEM): Celleporaria wakayamensis, C. brunnea, Rhamphostomella argentea, Calyptotheca symmetrica, Stephanosella biaperta, Microporella discors, Adeonella platalea, A. polymorpha and Phidolopora pacifica.

Two species from the genus Escharoides Milne Edwards, 1836, E. biseriatata and E. buffonellarioides n. sp. Were first found in Korean waters in this study. Their colonies were collected from two locations in the South Sea, Korea: Tongyeong Marine Ranch in 2004 and Daebyeon Port in 2009. Escharoides biseriatata shows a difference in the position of avicularia from the Chinese specimens. While avicularia are lateral to the orifice in Chinese specimens, the ones in Korean specimens seem to be located more latero-proximally. Since Escharoides biseriatata was reported as fouling bryozoans in China in 2001, this species first occurred at Daebyeon Port in Korea in this study. Escharoides buffonellarioides n. sp. is similar to E. adeonelloides in morphological features of zooids but is clearly distinguished by having the erect colonial form of small masses. With the addition of two species reported herein, four Korean Escharoides are recorded: E. biseriatata, E. buffonellarioides, E. excavata, and E. sauroglossa.

For the systematic study of the bryozoans in Cheju-do, the present study was done with the materials collected from 13 localities of Cheju-do during the period from 1965 to 1985. As a result, 52 species were reported, bringing total number of species known from Cheju-do to 74. Of them eleven species were new to Korean fauna. They were as follows: Tubulipora pulchra, Ellisina canui, Labioporella sinuosa, Mucropetraliella mucroaviculata, Emballotheca pacifica, Hippomenella spatulata, Microporella cribrosa, Smittina raigii, Smittoidea prolifica, Parasmittina triangularis and Escharoides excavata.

DNA barcoding of Bryozoa or "moss animals" has hardly advanced and lacks reference sequences for correct species identification. To date only a small number of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from 82 bryozoan species have been deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank and Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD). We here report COI data from 53 individual samples of 29 bryozoan species collected from Korean seawater. To our knowledge this is the single largest gathering of COI barcode data of bryozoans to date. The average genetic divergence was estimated as 23.3% among species of the same genus, 25% among genera of the same family, and 1.7% at intraspecific level with a few rare exceptions having a large difference, indicating a possibility of presence of cryptic species. Our data show that COI is a very appropriate marker for species identification of bryozoans, but does not provide enough phylogenetic information at higher taxonomic ranks. Greater effort involving larger taxon sampling for the barcode analyses is needed for bryozoan taxonomy.

Six smittinid species were identified from Korean waters. Two of which were previously recorded in the Korean bryozoan fauna are reviewed. Parasmittina raigii (Audouin, 1826) reported from Gwabutan, Jeju Island is re-examined and reidentified as Parasmittina serrula Soule and Soule, 1973, which is new to the Korean fauna. Smittoidea reticulato (MacGillivray, 1847) is reported as species which doesn't occur in the Pacific Ocean Accordingly, Smittoidea reticulata should be deleted from the Korean bryozoan fauna and the Korean specimen identified as Smittoidea reticulata is synonymous with Smittoidea pacifica Soule and Soule, 1973. Fourteen smittinid bryozoans from Korea are thus recorded so far.

We performed a taxonomic study on Korean Pacificincolidae (Bryozoa: Cheilostomata) with the materials collected from 39 localities(ports, intertidal and subtidal zones) in the coastal seas of South Korea from 1981 to 2020. Korean Mucronella perforata reported by Rho and Seo (1985) turned out to be not Pacificincola perforata, but Primavelans glabricollaris n. sp. based on morphological data. Pacificincola perforata, which was transferred from Mucronella perforata (Okada and Mawatari, 1937), is also added to the Korean fauna. This study is the first to use mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences to study the family Paficincolidae. The NJ analysis also reconfirmed the validity of the genus Primavelans, established on the basis of the early astogeny by De Blauwe in 2006, with the mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences. The inter-genetic distance among two species belong to the Pacificincolidae was in the range of 13.39±1.83 mm. Primavelans glabricollaris n. sp. is thus distinguished from Pacificincola perforata with both morphological and molecular data. A new species, Primavelans glabricollaris, and a new record, Pacificincola perforata from Korea are herein described in detail and illustrated by scanning electron microscopy.

Three cheilostomatous bryozoan species collected from Gageodo Island of Korea in 1999, which are Chorizopora brongniartii (Audouin, 1826), Microporella marsupiata (Busk, 1860) and Celleporina costazii (Audouin, 1826), are newly added to the Korean fauna. The redescriptions of three species are provided with distributional data and detailed illustrations herein. As a result of this study, a total of 32 bryozoan species from Gageodo Island waters are now reported.
