In the life cycle of Coryne pusilla Gaertner, a medusa is lacking and the planula larvae represent the only known dispersive stage. The planula larvae crawled on the surface of culture vessel for about 21 hours after release, and settle down and start metamprohosis.

한국 해산 히드라충류의 분류학적 연구의 일환으로 1973년부터 1987년까지 울릉도와 제주도에서 채집되어 이화여자대학교 자연과학대학 생물학과에 보관되어 있는 미동정 표본들을 동정 분류하였다. 그 결과 Cryptolaria pectinata (Allman, 1888), Modeeria rotunda (Quoy & Gaimard, 1817) 그리고 Thecocarpus myriophyllum orientalis Billard, 1908 가 한국 미기록종으로 밝혀졌다.

The joint faunal survey of Chindo Island were made in commemoration of the 10 th anniversary of the Korean Society of Systematic Zoology during July 22-26, 1994. The materials collected were identified to 31 species in eight families, of which eight species were previously known and the remainders were newly recorded from Chindo Island . Halecium magellanicum and Obelia flexuosa are new to the Korean fauna. Adding three previously known species, which were not examined in this work , to the above results, the hydroids recorded from Chindo Island so far consist of 34 species in eight families.

Some Korean marine hvdroids of the families Sphaerocorynidae, Eudendriidae, Haleciidae and Lafoeidae were observed based on the external features. Thev were collected from the coasts and islands of Korea during the years 1971-1990 by the author and others. As a result12 species and subspecies are identified, of which 6 species: Sphaerocowne bedoti, Eudendrium insigne, Eudendrium cumeum, Hydrodendron gordineri, Acwptolaria confena austrolis and Crammaria obi'etinQ tuned out to be new to the Korean fauna, which are redescribed briefly. For already known species in Korean fauna, the materials examined for this work and previous rdcore given, and not examined but already known species in Korean waters the only previous records are given for definition of the hydroid taxa. So that the Korean hvdroids of four families identified so far consist of ten genera and 19 species.

The marine hydroids of Cheju Island in this work identified into 46 species and/or subspecies of 25 genera in 10 families. Of which four species: Rhizocaulus chinensis, Obelia bicuspidata, Sertularia desmoides and Plumularia spinulosa are new to the hydroid fauna of Cheju Island and four species: Hebella parastica, Campanularia groenlandica, Campanularia everta and Sertulareffa natalensis are new to the Korean fauna. Adding these eight species to the previous known species (83 species and/or subspecies) in Cheju Island, the hydroid fauna in Cheju Island identified up to date consists of 91 species and/or subspecies of 41 genera in 12 families. Macrorhynchia phoenicea is dominant species which occur in 10 points, Aglaophenia suensonii in eight points. 71 species (78%) occur in Songsanp'o, 43 species (47%) in Munsom, 26 species (29%) in Supsom, 13 species (14%) in Wimi-ri and 11 species (12%) in P - omsom in order. Thirty-three percent (30 species) of the hydroids of Cheju Island was only found in Cheju Island.

The Korean marine hydrioid fauna identified up to data consists of 120 species of 55 genera in 17 families. Of which Abientiunaria filicula (Ellis and Solander, 1786) is new to the Korean fauna, and the dominant species of hydroids in Korean water is Sertularella miurensis Stechow, 1921 which is collected from 33 points of 96 localities. The coastal waters of Korea are divided into four regions : the East Sea, the South Sea, the Yellow sea and the Chejudo. Concerning the total number of species occured in each region, 43 species in the East Sea, 52 species in the Yellow Sea, 73 species in the South Sea and 83 species in the Chejudo and its vicinity. From the results above described it can be salid that the Chejudo region shows the most diversity of the Korea hydroids. The community coefficient of the East Sea-the Yellow Sea is 0.444, that of the East Sea-the South Sea 0.553, that of the East Sea-Chejudo 0.519, that of the Yellow Sea-the Sea 0.682, that of the Yellow Sea-the Chejudo 0.533 and that of the South Sea-the Chejudo 0.642. So that the zoogeographical relatinship between the Yellow Sea and the South Sea is the highest and between the East Sea and the Yellow Sea is the lowest on the hydroids distribution.
