An alpheid shrimp, Alpheus pacificus Dana, 1852, is recorded from Korea for the first time based on the specimens collected from the intertidal zone in Jeju-do, Korea. A. pacificus is readily distinguished from A. malabaricus by having the inferior shoulder on the lateral face of the major chela with a very deep, rounded notch, and by the simple, non-spatulate dactylus of the third pereopod. The Korean Alpheidae now includes 19 species representing 7 genera.

The snapping shrimp Alpheus bisincisus is redescribed on the basis of nine specimens collected in southern Korea. This species is readily distinguished from the other reported species of the Edwardsii group of Alpheus from Korea (A. heeia, A. hoplocheles, A. japonicus, A. lobidens, A. malabaricus, A. pacificus, A. richardsoni, and A. sudara) by having the rostrum and rostral triangle on the carapace flattened dorsally and sharply demarked, and by the presence of overhanging orbitorostral grooves.
