Two Hippolytid Shrimps of the Genus Eualus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from Korea

摘要

This paper provides descriptions and illustrations of two hippolytid shrimps, Eualus macilentus (Krayer, 1841) and E. leptognathus (Stimpson, 1860). This is the first record of E. macilentus collected in Korean waters; it was found in the East Sea ata depth of 300 m. Eualus leptognathus has been collected previously from various locations in southern and eastern Korea, but no detailed description has been reported. This study provides a key to the six species of Eualus in Korean waters.
