  • The snapping shrimp Alpheus bisincisus is redescribed on the basis of nine specimens collected in southern Korea. This species is readily distinguished from the other reported species of the Edwardsii group of Alpheus from Korea (A. heeia, A. hoplocheles, A. japonicus, A. lobidens, A. malabaricus, A. pacificus, A. richardsoni, and A. sudara) by having the rostrum and rostral triangle on the carapace flattened dorsally and sharply demarked, and by the presence of overhanging orbitorostral grooves.
