Abstract

Three cyclostomatous bryozoans from Korea belonging to the genera Bicrisia and Nevianipora are described here for the first time. The specimens collected from six localities of the South Sea and Jejudo Island during the period from 1981 to 2020 were observed. The three cyclostomatous bryozoans are Nevianipora pulcherrimoidea (Liu in Liu, Yin & Ma, 2001), N. rugatata (Liu in Liu, Yin & Ma, 2001), and Bicrisia edwardsiana (d'Orbigny, 1841). Nevianipora pulcherrimoidea and N. rugatata were previously found only from the South China Sea, whereas Bicrisia edwardsiana is widespread. As a result of this study, the Korean cyclostomatous bryozoans have increased to 20 species, 10 genera, and five families. Redescriptions and illustrations by scanning electron microscopy of the three species new to the Korean fauna are provided herein.
