| Abstract |
A new peltidiid species belonging to the genus Alteutha Baird, 1846 is described based on the material from Songjihobrackish lake on eastern coast of Korea. The new species, Alteutha wanae sp. nov. is closely related to A. potter Veit-Köhler & Fuentes, 2007, a species originally described from King George Island, Antarctica, in sharing the setation of P5 rami of both sexes, the shape of maxillipedal basis, setal formulae of swimming legs, P2-P4, and the setation of caudal ramus. Alteutha wanae sp. nov., however, can be differentiated from A. potter by the characters, the number of antennular segment, anterior seta of antennal basis, the length to width ratios of P5 baseoendopod and exopod of both sexes, and male P6. Among benthic harpacticoid copepods collected by benthic surveys in the brackish lakes along the eastern coast of Korea in 1994, a new representative of the genus Alteutha was described and illustrated. In addition, we provide the registration information of Zoobank of Eupelte dokdoensis Song & Lee, 2024, recently collected from the algal bed bottom in Dokdo Island, Korea |
