A new record of sea urchin (Echinoidea: Echinothurioida) from Jeju Island, Korea
Some sea urchins were collected from the subtidal rocky bottom along the coastal line in Jeju Island by SCUBA diving in April 2005 and identified on the basis of their morphological characteristics. Among them, Asthenosoma ijimai Yochiwara, 1897 was newly recorded from Korea and redescribed based on the specimen collected at 20m deep in southern breakwater of Seogwipo harbor. The order Echinothurioida including family Echinothuriidae and genus Asthenosoma was firstly recorded in Korea. Seventeen species of echinoids are reported to be distributed in Jeju Island of Korea.
