Abstract

Two new species belonging to genus Mycale are described from the waters around Geojedo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea. Mycale (M.) geojensis n. sp. seems close to M. (M.) adhaerens parvasigma Hoshino, 1981, but our new species has three categories of anisochelae. M. (Aegogropila) hentscheli n. sp. is closest to M. (A.) obscura (Carter, 1882) in shape and spicule, but has no large sigma.
