Abstract

Bathynellacea is a stygobitic group that is commonly associated with subterranean habitats. Allobathynella Morimoto and Miura, 1957, which is a genus of parabathynellid Bathynellacea, has the widest range of distribution and is rich in species from the Korean peninsula among Korean Bathynellacea genera. The material of Allobathynella yecheonensis Park and Cho, 2016, was found in the type locality of interstitial groundwater in the Nakdonggang River in South Korea. In this study, we determined the sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA of A. yecheonensis and compared them with those of A. hongcheonensis, A. wonjuensis, and A. danyangensis. In addition, we provided photographs of A. yecheonensis and diagnosis including a note on morphological observations.
