We describe two penaeoid shrimp, Hymenopenaeus equalis and Metapenaeus ensis, that were collected from an area northwest of Jeju Island and are new to Korean waters. Hymenopenaeus equalis is the first Korean representative of this genus. A brief distributional and morphological description of the two species is provided.
