Abstract
Two pagurid hermit crabs of the genus Pagurus, P. proximus Komai, 2000 and P. simulans Komai, 2000, were collected from the East Sea of Korea are reported. Brief descriptions and illustrations of these two species are provided. Both have been confounded with P. brachiomastus (Thallwitz, 1891) until recently Komai (2000a) reviewed the taxonomic status of this species complex. Kim's (1973) record of P. brachiomastus from Korea was synonymized to P. proximus by Komai (2000a) and the latter in Korean waters is confirmed through this study. P. simulans is recorded for the first time from Korea as well as the East Sea (Sea of Japan).
