Eight zoeal stages and one decapodid of the hippolytid shrimp Latreutes acicularis Ortmann, 1890 are described from laboratory-reared material hatched from egg from ovigerous females collected from Shimoda, Japan. The presence of a minute dorsomedian protuberance on the third abdominal somite, the spinules on the dorsal margin of the fourth and fifth abdominal somites, and a pair of dorsolateral spines on the fourth and fifth abdominal somites readily distinguish the larvae of L. acicularis from those of L. anoplonyx Kemp, 1914 and L. laminirostris Ortmann, 1890, the other two known larvae of Latreutes from East Asia.

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.

Seasonal variation of a shrimp community in the eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed in Kwangyang Bay, Korea was studied based on the monthly collected samples through a year of 1994. The shrimp community in the eelgrassbed was composed of 26 species of shrimps representing 6 families. The community was dominated by Heptacarpus pandaloides, Crangon affinis, Eualus leptognathus, Latreutes acicularis, Heptacarpus rectirostris, Heptacarpus geniculatus, and Latreutes laminirostris. Most of species were the small-sized species with carapace length smaller than 25 mm. The peak abundance occurred in the late winter and spring and low abundances in autumn. More than 10 species were collected every month except lull (8 species). Species diversity indices showed that the shrimp species were more diverse during the late summer, and lesser during the late autumn. Predominance of Crangon affinis in the late autumn caused such a low diversity. The shrimps in the study area could be grouped into three groups on the basis of their occurrence patterns: resident species, seasonal species, and temporary species. More abundant and more diverse shrimps were collected during nighttime than daytime.
