Abstract

The order Nudibranchia Cuvier, 1817 is among the most colorful gastropod group that lacks an external shell and mantle cavity at their adult stage. They are widely found in the intertidal to subtidal zones of marine habitats worldwide. To date, a total of 58 species are known from Korean waters. In this study, we report seven nudibranch species that are newly reported from Korean waters and provide their color images of external body, morphological description, taxonomic remarks, and mtDNA cox1 barcode sequence information: Dendronotus primorjensis Martynov, Sanamyan & Korshunova, 2015; Doto japonica Odhner, 1936; Trinchesia ornata (Baba, 1937); Antiopella fusca (O'Donoghue, 1924); Cadlina paninae Korshunova, Fletcher, Picton, Lundin, Kashio, N. Sanamyan, K. Sanamyan, Padula, Schrodi & Martynov, 2020; Rostanga bifurcata Rudman & Avern, 1989; and Goniodoridella savignyi Pruvot-Fol, 1933.
