We briefly report the observation of five ostracod species: Scottia birigida Smith, Matzke-Karasz, Kamiya and Ikeda, 2002; Codonocera mortenseni Poulsen, 1962; Pyrocypris noctiluca Kajiyama, 1912; Euconchoecia cf. chierchiae Muller, 1890; and E. pacifica Chavtur, 1976. All five species are new records of Korean ostracod fauna. Specimens were collected during the 2014-2016 Korean Indigenous Species project. For three species we also include mtCO1 sequences. Currently, there are 65 published reports of indigenous Korean ostracod species.
