제주도의 하조대에서 채집된 갯고사리류를 동정 분류한 결과, 바다나리목(Comantulida), 돌기발갯고사리과(Colobometridae)의 줄무늬갯고사리, Cyllometri manca (Carpenter, 1888)와 범얼룩갯고사리, Decametra tigrina(A. H. Clark, 1907)가 한국 미기록종으로 밝혀져 보고한다. 그리고 돌기발갯고사리과는 우리나라에서 처음으로 보고된다.

Thaumatometra tenuis (A. H. Clark, 1907), an unstalked crinoid that lives on the muddy bottoms of the deep sea, is re-described with images in this study. This species distributes in the cold water zone of the northwestern Pacific and had been reported at the end of 1800s from South Korea but had not been found thereafter. So we thought that this species was no longer living in Korea. In March 2019, a large number of T. tenuis were found near the Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, Korea. So the presence of T. tenuis in Korea is reconfirmed. This species, markedly fragile overall, is characterized by long segments of cirri and pinnules, and P₁ composed of 35 segments.

Two crinoid specimens of genus Tropiometra were collected from Busan and Tongyeong by SCUBA diving on August 2010 and October 2011, respectively. The specimens were identified as Tropiometra macrodiscus (Hara, 1895), which belongs to the family Tropiometridae of superfamily Tropiometroidea. The genus Tropiometra AH Clark, 1907 comprises four species worldwide at present, and it has not been reported in Korea. Tropiometra macrodiscus was first described by Hara (1895) in Japan. It is difficult to distinguish T. macrodiscus from T. afra (Hartlaub, 1890), there has been confusion with examination of their phylogenetic positions in crinoid morphological classification. Despite this, T. macrodiscus can be distinguished from T. afra based on longer arms, stouter whole-body parts, magnificently larger numbers of cirrus, and numerous segments. The morphological characteristics of T. macrodiscus collected in Korea have been described, and DNA barcode region representing cytochrome c oxidase subunit I was obtained for its molecular phylogenetic analysis.
