Three hippolytid shrimps, Hippolyte acuta, Latreutes acicularis, and Latreutes laminirostris are reported from Korean waters. The former two species represent new records for the Korean marine fauna. L. laminirostris, previously known from Korea, is redescribed. A key to Latreutes species from Korean waters is given. The Korean Hippolytidae consists now of 19 species of nine genera.

Three alpheid shrimps, Alpheus lobidens De Haan, 1850, A. malabaricus (Fabricius, 1775), and A. sudora Banner and Banner, 1966 are reported from southern part of Korea. They represent new records for the Korean marine fauna. Korean Alpheidae consist now of ten species belonging to four genera.

The first zoeas of Chinese ditch prawn Palaemon gravieri (Yu, 1930) and carpenter shrimp Palaemon serrifer (Stimpson, 1860) are described and illustrated in detail based on laboratory-hatched material. They are distinguished from those of Palaemon ortmanni (Rathbun, 1902) and Palaemon pacificus (Stimpson, 1860), previously known larvae from Korean waters by the length of the rostrum and endopod of antenna, the shape of the third abdominal somite, and ornamentation of the fifth abdominal somite. Larval characters of the genus Palaemon are revised. A. provisional key to the known first zoeas of Palaemon from Korean waters is given.

Alpheid shrimp are found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters. They live in burrows in sandy and muddy bottoms and also in crevices of rocks and coral reefs. The genus Alpheus is the most diverse group of alpheid shrimp. Continuous taxonomic study on shrimps collected from Korean waters revealed that an alpheid shrimp collected from Daesambudo Island was identified as Alpheus compressus. This species belongs to the brevirostris group of the genus Alpheus and is distinguished from other known species of the genus Alpheus in Korea by the laterally compressed body. Korean Alpheus fauna now consists of 15 species of five species groups.

Two caridean shrimps, Eualus biunguis (Rathbun, 1902) and Argis toyamaensis (Yokoya, 1933), collected from the Korean continental slope of the East Sea at depths of 850-870 m are reported as new to the Korean caridean fauna with brief descriptions and illustrations. A hippolytid shrimp, E. biunguis, is distinguished from the congeners by the minute che1alike appearance of dactyli of the last three pereopods and the large pyriform eye. A crangonid shrimp, A. toyamaensis, differs from the Korean species of the genus in having the posterior acute spines of submedian carinae on the sixth abdominal somite.

The genus Athanas is a member of alpheid shrimps living in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. Species of the genus Athanas are small and inhabit coral reefs, rock or muddy bottoms. As a result of continuous taxonomic research on shrimps collected from Korean waters, Athanas parvus is newly added to Korean fauna through the description of adult form. Athanas parvus is distinguished from A. japonicus by the biunguiculated dactyli of third, fourth and fifth pereopods and spines on ischium of first pereopod. The Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of nine genera and 27 species including two species of the genus Athanas.

Three species of the family Processidae, Hayashidonus japonicus (De Haan, 1844), Processa sulcata Hayashi, 1975 and Processa zostericola Hayashi, 1975 described with illustrations from Korea. Two of these species, H. japonicus and P. zostericola, represent new records for the Korean carcinological fauna. The genus Hayashidonus included the single species, H. japonicus is distinguished from other genera of Processidae by the broadly triangular rostrum, the obscure or absent dorsolateral spines of the telson, and the exceptionally long molar process of the mandible. Two species of the genus Processa, P. zostericola and P. sulcata are distinguishable each other by presence or absence of an obtuse process of the basicerite of antenna on the anteroventral margin. The basicerite of antenna arms with the obtuse process in P. zostericola, while in P. sulcata the basicerite of antenna lacks the process but is smooth on the ventral margin. A key to these species is presented.

Based on samples collected from the Korean Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) during an investigation of fishery resources by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) from 2002 to 2010, alongside some supplemental material, six species of the genus $Plesionika$ are identified: $P.$ $izumiae$ Omori, 1971, $P.$ $ortmanni$ Doflein, 1902, $P.$ $grandis$ Doflein, 1902, $P.$ $lophotes$ Chace, 1985, $P.$ $narval$ (Fabricius, 1787), and $P.$ $orientalis$ Chace, 1985. Of these, the last four species are new to Korean marine fauna. The distributional range of $P.$ $narval$ extends to the East China Sea off Jeju Island. Excluding $P.$ $izumiae$ and $P.$ $ortmanni$, the other four species are relatively rare in the seas around Korea. They are described and illustrated with color photographs. A key to the Korean species of $Plesionika$ is also presented.

Continuous taxonomic study on shrimps collected from Korean waters revealed that an alpheid shrimp, Alpheus albatrossae occurs in Korean waters. This species belongs to the macrocheles group of the genus Alpheus. This species is distinguished from other known species of the genus Alpheus in Korea by having orbital teeth and palm of large chela with three heavy longitudinal ridges and grooves terminating distally in (1) a heavy tooth above dactylar articulation, (2) the adhesive plaque, and (3) a heavy tooth below dactylar articulation. Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of 21 species of seven genera.
