Abstract

Some hyromedusae were collected from Korean waters with Issacc-Kidd Midwater trawl net or by SCUBA diving during the period from May 2001 to Nov. 2005. They were identified into 14 species of 11 families in six orders. Of these, the following six species are new to Korean fauna: Olindias formosa (Goto, 1903) and Proboscidactyla stellata (Forbes, 1846) of the order Limnomedusae; Aglantha digitale ($M\ddot{u}ller$, 1776) and Rhopalonema velatum Gegenbaur, 1854 of the order Trachymedusae; Solmundella bitentaculata (Quoy and Gaimaud, 1833) and Aegina citrea Eschscholtz, 1829 of the order Narcomedusae. The order Narcomedusae and the families Rhopalonematidae and Aeginidae are first recorded in Korean waters. As a result of the present study, the Korean hydromedusae consist of 26 species of 19 families in six orders so far.
