(Korean Name: Jjal-beun-da-ri-hae-jo-sum-i-yeop-sae-u, new) ( Figs 2–4 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 )
Type material. Holotype. Adult male, 5.9 mm, dissected on 7 slides, (NIBRIV0000268857), Yeochamongdol sand beach, Geojedo Is., Korea (34°42’49.3”N, 128°37’35.3”E), 7 August 2003, (Y.H. Kim) Paratype, 9 ♂ and 4 ♀, (NIBRIV0000268858) other data same as holotype.
Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin brevi (=short) and crus (=leg) with reference to the short form of the pereopods.
Diagnosis. Body small, smooth; gnathopod 1, propodus broadening distally; gnathopod 2, carpal lobe lacking, propodus medium-sized, shorter than basis; pereopods 3–7, basis less than 2 x ischium–dactylus; uropods 1–2, rami shorter than peduncle, distomedial peduncular spine very strong, about 0.5 x inner ramus.

Female, paratype. Body small, about 5.3 mm long.
Pereon. Gnathopod 1 ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 E) coxa similar to that of male, but slightly longer; basis slightly narrower; carpal lobe not as broadly rounded; propodus slender, length 2 x width. Gnathopod 2 ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 F), coxa very large, more than half length of basis-dactylus combined, length 1.4 x width; basis anterodistal corner somewhat rounded; carpus with lobe; propodus much less robust than male, in form similar to male gnathopod 1; brood plate subtriangular, apex narrowed, subacute, very large, with short and hooked brood setae marginally.
Remarks. Ptilohyale brevicrus is distinguished from P. barbicornis (characters of P. barbicornis in brackets) by the following features: 1) body small, 6–7 mm at maturity (vs. large, more than 10 mm at maturity); 2) pereopods 3–7, basis less than 2 x ischium–dactylus combined (vs. more than 2 x); 3) coxa 2 subequal to propodus (vs. shorter than propodus); 4) uropods 1–3 rami short, much shorter than peduncle (vs. elongate, subequal or longer than peduncle); 5) uropod 1 distomedial spine stronger, length 0.5 x inner ramus (vs. 0.37 x inner ramus); 6) uropod 3, apical spines of ramus much shorter than ramus (vs. subequal to ramus). P. b rev i cr u s is found in a slightly different habitat. Both are found in the intertidal zone, but P. b rev i cr u s prefers cobble and sand, while P. barbicornis prefers algae and cobble.
