Abstract

Two species of the genus Eudorella (Crustacea: Cumacea) were collected and examined from the Yellow Sea. A new species and one new record of Eudorella are described and illustrated. This new species Eudorella hwanghaensis sp. nov. closely resembles E. intermedia, but it differs from the latter species in bearing a distinct apical spine of endopod with uropod peduncle. The distribution of the new species is confined to the central portion of the Yellow Sea, and its distributional range coincides well with that of the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water Mass. Eudorella pacifica is recorded for the first time in Korean waters. It occurred in shallow waters and was distributed widely on both coastal sides of the Yellow Sea.
