The first zoeal characters of Sesarmops intermedius (De Haan, 1835) [=Sesarma (Sesarma) intermedium], belonging to the family Sesarmidae, are described and illustrated in detail based on laboratory-hatched material from a female collected from Gangjeung, Seogwipo, Jeju Island. Morphological comparison is performed based on previous descriptions of Sesarma (Sesarma) intermedium from Japan and three other species in the Sesarmidae. The first zoea of Sesarmops intermedius can be readily distinguished from those of the three species Chiromantes haematocheir [=Sesarma (Holometopus) haematocheir], Chiromantes dehaani [=Sesarma (Holometopus) dehaani], and Parasesarma pictum [=Sesarma (Parasesarma) pictum] by the presence of two setae on the exopod of the antenna, fine setae on the inner and outer margin of the forked spine of the telson, and three aesthetascs and one simple seta on the antennule.

1986년 9월 30일부터 1987년 4월 24일까지의 조사기간에 제두도의 12개 지소에서 채집한 표본들과 조사기간 이전에 추자군도를 포함한 제두도 해역에서 채집된 미동정 표본들을 동정하고 문헌상의 기록들을 종합하여 제주도 해역 집게류의 분류목록을 작성하였다. 이 분류목록에는 9과 34종이 포함되어 있다. 이 중에서 제주도 해역 미기록종은 2종이었고 Dardanus pedunculatus(Herbst)는 한국 미기록종이므로 새로이 기재하고 그림도 작성하였다. 제주도 해역의 집게류 34종은 한국기지종 58종의 58.6%에 해당되며 34종 중에서 17종(50%)은 제주도 해역에서만 기록되었다. 34종 중 7종(20.6%)이 남방형이었고, 34종 중 서식처가 밝혀진 24종주에서 사질과 암석 바닥에 서식하는 종이 18종(75%)이었다. 이와 같은 사실들은 제주도 해역의 해황과 제주도 연안의 저질과 일치한다.

Two porcelain crab species, Aliaporcellana pygmaea (De Man, 1902) and Lissoporcellana nakasonei (Miyake, 1978), are reported here for the first time from Korean waters based on specimens collected from Jeju Island, Korea. The genus Aliaporcellana Nakasone and Miyake, 1969, and Lissoporcellana Haig, 1978 are also reported here for the first time in Korea. Aliaporcellana pygmaea has a wide distribution. The specimen reported here is the most northern record of this species. While, Lissoporcellana nakasonei, associated with anthozoans, was known for distributing range from New Caledonia to southern Japan. As a result, the distribution rage of L. nakasonei is changed to Korea. Now, 12 species of porcelain crabs have been reported in Korean waters.

Two crangonid shrimps, Paracrangon abei Kubo, 1937 and Pontocaris sibogae (De Man, 1918), collected from the northeastern and southeastern waters of Jeju Island, are newly recorded into the Korean fauna. The former is the second species and the latter is the only species of each genus recorded in Korea. Morphological and distributional accounts of these two species are briefly discussed.

Xanthid crabs, decapod crustacean, with the black coloured fingers, are easily found under rocks or stones in the intertidal or subtidal zones. Two xanthids, Etisus laevimanus Randall, 1840 and Paraxanthias elegans (Stimpson, 1858), were newly reported in Korean waters as part of continuous taxonomic studies on crabs. The genus Paraxanthias Odhner, 1925 was also reported for the first time in Korea. Of these, the examined specimen of P. elegans showed eight feathery hairs on the subdistal tip of the first gonopod, which differs from the description of Dai and Yang at 1991. Here, the descriptions and illustrations of these species are provided. Korean Xanthoidea currently consists of 30 species belonging to 25 genera.

A pagurid crab, Pagurus erythrogrammus is described and illustrated for the first time from Korean waters. It was collected by SCUBA diving in Seogwipo (Jejudo Island) on 30 May 2013. Its morphology is similar to those of known Korean species of the family Paguridae: Boninpagurus pilosipes, Pagurus nigrivittatus, and Pagurus quinquelineatus. This species, however, it is distinguished by having a developed rostrum, seven rows of spines on dorsal surface of the right palm in male, a row of spines on the medial surface of the dactylus of the third pereopod, 12 long ventral spines of dactylus of the third pereopod, six small spines on the concaved distal margin of telson, and three reddish brown lines on lateral surfaces of propodi of the second and third pereopods.

Alpheus paracrinitus belonging to the diadema group of the genus Alpheus (Decapoda: Caridea: Alpheidae) is reported from Korean waters. This species is distinguished from other Korean congeneric species of the genus Alpheus by the following characteristics: major chela oval in section, lacking marked transverse or longitudinal grooves; movable finger of minor chela balaeniceps; dactylus of third pereopod simple. Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of 23 species of seven genera.

A hippolytid shrimp, Lebbeus grandimana, is described from the southern part of the East Sea and this is the first record of the species in Korea. The genus Lebbeus of the family Hippolytidae currently comprises four species in Korea. A key to identify the four species of the genus Lebbeus from Korean waters is provided.

The scyllarine lobster Chelarctus cultrifer is described as the first species of the genus Chelarctus known from Korean waters. C. cultrifer is very similar to the Galearctus kitanoviriosus but it is different in the pleura of the abdominal somites 2 to 4 are broader and ending in sharp posteriorly directed points and having the propodi of pereiopods 3 and 4 are forming subchelates with the dactyli. The record of the species represents an extension of its previously known range from Somalia to Hawaiian Islands and brings the number of known species of the scyllarine lobsters in Korea to three.

Pagurus undosus and Pagurus parvispina, collected from the East Sea by fishery trap, are newly recorded from Korean waters. Pagurus undosus is distinguished from other hermit crab by its right cheliped slightly elevated medially, and with broad ridge formed by deep depressions mesial and lateral to midline. Pagurus parvispina is distinguished from other hermit crab by its right cheliped covered with large spine and long tufts of setae. These species live in cold water areas and their geographical distribution is extended southwardly by the present study. A specimen of the former species, P. undosus, was found living in a shelter formed by a sponge, similar to that observed in Pagurus pectinatus. Descriptions and figures of these two species are provided in this paper. Currently, 27 species of the genus Pagurus are recorded in Korean fauna.
