Five Muricid Species New to Korean Malacofauna

Five Muricid Species New to Korean Malacofauna

Abstract

Five species of Muricid molluscs collected from the Korean waters were identified as Coralliophila bulbiformis (Conrad, 1837), Coralliophila erosa (Roding, 1798), Mipus arbutum (Woolacott, 1954), Vokesimurex rectirostris (Sowerby II, 1841) and Mancinella echinulata (Lamarck, 1822). This is the first record from the Korea, providing a description of the species with illustration for the shell morphology. Including the present new records, the family Muricidae contained 23 genera and 46 species in the Korean waters.
