Abstract

In order to know the fauna of Korean Caprellidae, the authors examined the materials which were collected from many places of East Sea, South Sea and YelloW sea in 1955, 1964 and during the period from 1969 to 1975. Collections were made chiefly by hand with pincette at intertidal zones and with gill nets at subtidal zones. The results of the identification were found to be 11 species of Caprella of which the following 9 species were hitherto unrecorded from Korean waters. 1. Caprella californica Stimpson, 1857 2. C. danilevskii Czerniavski, 1868 3. C. decipiens Mayer, 1890 4. C. equilibra Say, 1818 5. C. kroeyeri De Haan, 1849 6. C. polyacantha Utinomi, 1947 7. C. scaura Templeton, 1836 8. C. tsugarensis Utinomi, 1947 9. C. verrucosa Boeck, 1871

1955년, 1964년 그리고 1969년부터 1975년까지 동해, 남해, 서해의 여러곳에서 채집된 바다대벌래(Caprella)를 동정한 결과 11종을 얻었다. 이것들중 다음의 9종은 한국 미기록 종이다.
