Two species of Pareurystheus belonging to the family Corophiidae are added to the Korean fauna: Pareurystheus latipes Tzvetkova, 1977 and P. anamae (Gurjanova, 1952). P. latipes is similar to the P. anamae in the most of morphological characteristics. However, two species differ in the forms of antenna 1, gnathopod 2, pereopods 5-7 and telson. This genus Pareurystheus is reported for the first time from Korea. They are described and figured in detail.

A corophiin species, Sinocorophium sinensis (Zhang, 1974) collected from oyster beds of Sacheon, southern coast of Korea is described and illustrated. Specimens of present study look more similar to those of China than those of Japan.

We here report Apocorophium acutum (Chevreux, 1908) with description and illustrations for the first time in Korea. Specimens of present study show morphological differences in ventral processes of peduncular segment 5 of antenna 2 with the same species from Europe and Atlantic coast of North America.

This study on the four families (Ampithoidae, Corophiidae, Dulichlldae, and lschyroceridae) of amphipods of Ulreung Island was based on the materials collected at eight localities in Ulreung Island. Eleven species of nine genera in four familles were identified. Of these, four (Sunamphithoe sineplumosa, Podocerus ulreungensis, P. hoonsool, and Ventojassa dentipal ma) were new to science. All eleven species were new records for Ulreung Island. Six species were described and illustrated. The keys to all eleven species and higher taxa were provided.

A newly recorded species, Sinocorophium dongtanense, of the genus Sinocorophium was collected from shallow waters of Korea. This species was previously reported as S. homoceratum in Korea. However, after reanalysis of previously studied samples, this species was identified as S. dongtanense, which had previously been reported from the Yangtze estuary, Shanghai, China in 2014. In this study, the newly recorded species is illustrated with a diagnosis and compared to the previously misidentified species. Molecular phylogenetic studies for Sinocorophium species in Korea are provided. A key to the Sinocorophium species in Korea is also provided.

We measured the secondary production of the amphipod Monocorophium acherusicum Costa in a seagrass bed (Zostera marina L.) in Gwangyang Bay, southern Korea. M. acherusicum biomass was positively correlated (P<0.05) with seagrass standing crop, suggesting that there were biological interactions between the two species. M. acherusicum displays two main breeding periods per year: spring (March to April) and fall (October to November). M. acherusicum biomass in the spring breeding periods was higher than in the fall. Annual secondary production of M. acherusicum was 3.54 g DW/$m^2$/yr with an annual P/B ratio of 3.48. Secondary production and the P/B ratio of M. acherusicum were lower than those observed for other amphipods inhabiting seagrass beds. These results suggest that biological interactions between M. acherusicum and seagrass, as well as dietary competition with other amphipods can potentially cause declines in secondary production and the P/B ratio.
