Distribution.
Known only from the type locality.
Etymology.
The name of the new species is dedicated to Prof. Won Kim (Seoul National University, South Korea), who has significantly contributed to our knowledge of crustaceans in South Korea.
DNA sequences.
Sequences of COI gene (MT316534 and MT316535) were determined from two specimens (NNIBRIV35119 and NNIBRIV36158).
Molecular analyses.
The topologies of the BI and ML trees were identical (Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ). Pseudocrangonyx wonkimi sp. nov. and P. joolaei Lee et al., 2020 showed the closest relationship.
Remarks.
We revealed that Pseudocrangonyx wonkimi sp. nov. is most closely related to P. joolaei Lee et al., 2020 based on molecular analyses. The genetic distance between these two species was 15.1% for the COI gene, and this distance is larger than that between members of two distinct species among the other congeners examined. Pseudocrangonyx wonkimi sp. nov. is distinguished from P. joolaei in having the following features (features of P. joolaei in parentheses): 1) sternal gill absent (present), 2) maxilla 1 inner plate with 4 (6) plumose setae, 3) carpus of gnathopods 1 and 2 each with serrate robust seta (with 2-3) on the posterodistal corner, 4) inner basal margin of inner rami of pleopod 3 without (with) bifid seta, and 5) less than 10 (more than 10) articles on the rami of pleopods.
Pseudocrangonyx wonkimi sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. akatsukai Tomikawa & Nakano, 2018 in having 1) eyes completely absent, 2) sternal gill absent 3) urosomite 1 with ventral robust seta, 4) antenna 2 with calceoli in both sexes 5) carpi of gnathopods 1 and 2 with serrate robust setae on posterodistal corner, and 6) inner rami of pleopods with bifid setae on inner margin. However, the former is distinguished from the latter by the following features (features of P. akatsukai in parentheses): 1) pereonites 3-5 (1-7) with short dorsal setae, 2) antenna 1 shorter (longer) than as long as body length half, 3) male antenna 2 flagellum 0.33 (0.53) times as long as peduncular articles 4 and 5 combined, 4) carpi of gnathopods 1 and 2 with 1 (with 3-5) serrate robust setae on posterodistal corner, 5) length ratio of merus, carpus, propodus 1.0: 1.0: 1.0 (1.0: 1.1: 1.1) of pereopod 7, and 6) telson cleft for 25.0-27.4% (6.6-12.3%) of length.
Pseudocrangonyx wonkimi sp. nov. is similar to P. elegantulus Zhao & Hou, 2017 in having 1) urosomite 3 dorsal margin without seta, 2) sternal gill absent, 3) accessory flagellum of antenna 1 subequal first article of primary flagellum, and 4) antenna 2 with calceoli in both sexes. However, P. wonkimi is distinguished from the latter by the following features (features of P. elegantulus in parentheses), 1) pereonites 3-5 with (1-6 without) dorsal margin setae, 2) basal part of inner ramus of female uropod 1 with 4 (1) slender setae, 3) uropod 1 peduncle inner marginal with 3 (1) robust setae, 4) terminal article of uropod 3 almost reaching (fully exceed) robust setae on the distal part of the proximal article, and 5) carpus of male gnathopod 2 with (without) serrate robust seta on posterodistal corner. Pseudocrangonyx wonkimi sp. nov. is similar to P. shikokunis Akatsuka & Komai, 1922 in having 1) eyes absent, 2) mandible palp article 3 longer than article 2, and 3) carpi of gnathopods 1and 2 with serrate setae on the posterodistal corners. The new species is distinguished from the latter by the following features (features of P. shikokunis in parentheses), 1) antenna 1 shorter (longer) than half of the body length, 2) maxilla 1 inner plate with 4 or fewer setae (with 5 setae), and 3) male telson cleft for 27.4% (11.7%) of length. The new species is similar also to P. cavernarius Hou & Li, 2003 in having 1) body size about 8.0 mm, and 2) maxilla 1 inner plate with 4 plumose setae. It differs from P. cavernarius Hou & Li, 2003 by the following features (features of P. cavernarius in parentheses), 1) antenna 2 calceoli present (absent), 2) mandible palp article 3 longer (shorter) than article 2, 3) urosomite 3 dorsal margin without (with) setae, and 4) telson each lobe with (without) setae.
