Four cyclostomatous bryozoans from Korea belong to the genera Bicrisia, Nevianipora, Tubulipora and Crisia are described here for the first time. Of which, Bicrisia erecta Mawatari & Mawatari, 1973, Nevianopora pulcherrima (Kirkpatrick, 1890) and Tubulipora similis Liu in Liu, Yin & Ma, 2001 are newly added to the Korean bryozoan fauna, and Crisia spissus n. sp. is new to science. These species in this study are identified based on three features, which are its pseudopore, gonozooids and ooeciostomes. Two genera, Bicrisia and Nevianopora, are new to the Korean bryozoan fauna. As a result of this study, nine Korean cyclostomatous bryozoans in seven genera, five families are reported.

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.

In the family Crisiidae (Bryozoa: Cyclostomata), 90 species have been recognized worldwide in seven genera: Bicrisia d'Orbigny, 1853, Crisia Lamouroux, 1812, Crisidia Milne Edwards, 1838, Crisiella Borg, 1924, Crisiona Canu & Bassler, 1928, Filicrisia d'Orbigny, 1853 and Unicrisia d'Orbigny, 1853. Four species in Crisiidae are described from 11 localities from 2008 to 2014, resulting in two new distributional records and two new species in Korea. The new additions to the fauna are: Crisia cuneata Maplestone, 1905, C. elongata Milne Edwards, 1838, C. jejuensis n. sp. and Filicrisia cygnus n. sp. A total of seven Korean crisiids with the addition of four species reported herein are recorded and distributed in three genera: Bicrisia, Crisia and Filicrisia. Accordingly, the Korean cyclostomatous bryozoans come to be 12 species, in eight genera, and five families. All of Korean Crisia eburneodenticulata specimens needed to be reexamined, thus this species is tentatively deleted from the Korean bryozoan fauna.
