  • The feeding habits of Hexagrammos otakii were studied by analyzing the stomach contents of 508 specimens collected from July 2009 to December 2010 off the Yeosu coast of Korea. The total length of the H. otakii specimens ranged from 10.7 to 41.5 cm. H. otakii was found to be a bottom-feeding carnivore that mainly consumed brachyura, amphipoda, but also sonsumed cephalopoda, pisces, anomura, polychaeta, and gastropoda. It was shown through relative importance analysis that the benthic share was 58.1% for brachyura, 24.5% for amphipoda, 7.5% for caridea, and 7.3% for pisces. Brachyura was the main prey item for H. otakii, occupying 35% of the stomach contents. The proportion of brachyura and amphipoda decreased with the growth of H. otakii, and their decrease paralleled the increased consumption of pisces. The shift in feeding habits to larger prey organisms with increasing fish size seems to be one of survival strategies to maximize net energy gain.

  • 실험실에서 사육된 범게(Orithyia sinica) 의 메갈로파 유생을 형태적으로 기술하고, 근연과에 속한 메갈로파 유생들과 형태적인 특징들을 비교 하였다. 범게(O. sinica) 의 메갈로파기는 근연과에 속한 메갈로파들과 다음과 같은 면에서 비교 구분되었다: 갑각은 그 폭이 길이보다 약간 길며 옆으로 2개의 가시가 있고, 다섯 번째 보각의 발가락마디 끝에 긴 강모가 없으며, 꼬리는 매끈하고 그 끝이 약간 오목하였다.

  • Larvae of Ilyoplax dentimerosa Shen, 1932 were reared in the laboratory at $25^{\circ}C$ and 33.3%o salinity. Four zoeal stages were recognized in the lanral development, and these are described and illustrated. The first soeae of 1. dentimerosa are distinguished from other llyoplax zoeae by having minute spicules on the rostral and dorsal carapace spines, a short dorsal carapace spine about half of the carapace length, a conspicuous antennal exopodite with a subterminal sutta and acute spines on the postero-lateral border of the fourth abdominal somite.

  • The larval stages of Scopimera longidactyla reared in the laboratory are described and illustrated in detail. The larval development consists of five zoeal and a megalopal stages. At 25$^{\circ}C$, the megalopa and the first crab instar were attained in 21 and 31 days after hatching, respectively. The larvae of Scopmera can be distinguished from those of other genera in the Scopimerinae and other sumbfamilies in the Ocypodidae by the relativelength of rostral carapace spines to carapace. The larvae of S. longidactyla are similar in morphology to those of S. globosa but distingished by the differences in larval , size, and appendage setation.

  • The first zoeae of Hyastenus elongatus (Ortmann, 1893) were obtained in thelaboratory from hatching. They are described, illustrated in detail and compared with the previously described zoeae of the subfamily pisinae. The zoeae of H. elongatus are similar to, but may be distinguished from those of Hyastenus diacnathus (De Haan, 1839), by the number of setae on the postero-lateral carapace margin and mouthpart appendages, and the length of a dorsal carapace spine. In the mouthpart appendages, the difference in the number of setae on an endopod of the maillule between H. eleongatus and H. diacanthus is doubtful, and it should be necessary ot make a detailed re-description of H. diacanthus.

  • Two species of crabs, Homola orientalis Henderson, 1888 and Pseudomicippe nipponica (Sakai, 1938), are described and illustrated for the first time in Korea. Homola orientalis was collected at 30 m depth by trap from Busan, and P. nipponica was collected on the intertidal region in Seongsanpo, Jejudo Island. Homola orientalis is the first species of its family in the region. The family Homoldae is characterized by a linea homolica on the carapace and they carry camouflage in the form of sponges or cnidarians with subchelate of the fourth ambulatory legs. The Korean brachyuran fauna now comprises 223 species including the new records from this study.
