Ptilohyale bisaeta ( Kim & Kim, 1991)

(Korean Name: Teol-chae-jjik-hae-jo-sum-i-yeop-sae-u)

Hyale bisaeta Kim & Kim, 1991: 32 , figs 18–20.

Hyale crassicornis . — Kim & Kim, 1987: 14, fig.12.

Material examined. No specimens in the authors’ collections.

Previous Korean records. Jejudo Is., Uleungdo Is. ( Kim & Kim 1991).

Diagnosis. Antenna 2, peduncular article 5 and flagellum densely setose. Pereopods 3–7, basis more than 2 x as long as ischium–dactylus combined. Uropod 1, outer ramus with 5–6 spines. Telson with one apical seta.

Remarks. Our extensive collections did not contain this species, so Ptilohyale bisaeta remains unreported from Korea since Kim & Kim (1991). We tried to examine the type material which had been deposited in Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. Unfortunately, the material has been lost so that we could not compare P. bisaeta with the remaining 2 Korean ptilohyalid species. The status of this species in Korea, therefore, is still unclear.
