Ovulid species were collected during the period from 1998 to 2004 years at six localities of Korean coastal area. Ovulidae in Korea was classified as 27 spacies in 11 genera. Twenty two species among them have never been reported in Korean fauna; Habuprionovolva hervieri (Hedley, 1989), Prionovolva brevis (Sowerby, 1828), P. pudica pudica (A. Adams, 1855), P. bulla (Adams & Reeve, 1848), Dentiovula colobica (Azuma & Cate, 1971), Pseudosimnia (Diminovula) punctata (Duclos, 1831), Pseudosimnia (Inflatovula) culmen (Cate, 1973), Aperiovula allynsmithi Cate, 1978, Primovula (Primovula) tigris Yamamoto, 1971, Crenovolva (Cuspivolva) cuspis Cate, 1073, Phenacovolva (Phenacovolva) Iahainaensis (Cate, 1969), P.(P.) subreflexa (Adams & Reeve, 1848), P.(P.) improcera(Azuma & Cate, 1971), P.(P.) weaveri Cate, 1973, P.(P.) poppei Fehse, 2001, Phenacovolva (Turbovula) brevirostris (Schumacher, 1817), P.(T.) fusula Cate & Azuma, 1973, P.(T.) dancei Cate, 1973, P.(T.) hirasei (Pilsbry, 1913), Phenacovola (Calcarrovula) longirostrata (Sowerby, 1828), P.(C.) tokioi Cate, 1973, and Volva volva habei Oyama, 1961.

Jeju Island, because of its location off the south coast of the Korean peninsula, has a varied marine mollusk fauna, As part of a continuing effort to enumerate and study the mollusks of the island, extensive SCUBA diving surveys have been done in the Sogwipo area, particularly around the islets of Munsom, Pomsum, and Supsum.

Specimens of the ten ovulid species were collected from Jeju Islnad, and identified as followed: Pellasimnia angasi (Reeve, 1865); Phenacovolva pseudogracilis Cate & Azuma, 1973; Phenacovolva rehderi Cate, 1973; Crenavolva leopardus Fehse, 2002; Diminovula coroniola (Cate, 1973); Diminovula stigma (Cate, 1978); Diminovula whitworthi Cate, 1973; Primovula roseomaculata (Schepman, 1909); Prionovolva ericae Cossignani & Calo, 2002; Testudovolva nebula (Azuma & Cate, 1971). These species are new to Korean Malacofauna, and described with the illustrations for the shell morphologies.

This catalogue is the result of a four-year survey of the mollusks of Jeju Island, the southernmost island in the Republic of Korea. Forty-eight survey stations were visited, with a total of 82 specific localities being sampled. Literature records were also obtained. Local and world distribution of each species is included. This survey reports a total of 1,072 mollusk species and subspecies; 1,015 marine and 57 land and freshwater. There are 812 gastropods, of which 755 are either entirely marine or have marine affinities. The best represented of the marine families are the Pyramidellidae, Trochidae, and Ovulidae. There are 225 bivalves, none being freshwater species, with the Veneridae, Mytilidae, and Arcidae having the largest number of species. Among the smaller classes there are sixteen Cephalopoda, eleven Polyplacophora, and eight Scaphopoda. Compared to mainland Korea, Jeju Island has a rather small terrestrial mollusk fauna and a depauperate freshwater one, with mainly Palearctic connections. The Helixarionidae and Bradybaenidae are the largest terrestrial families. The marine faunal affinities with the neighboring Japonic and Indo-West Pacific provinces are also discussed, revealing that this island's mollusk fauna is a blend of warm-temperate and subtropical-tropical species.
