Echinoderes lanceolatus, a new kinorhynch from Korea (Kinorhyncha Cyclorhagida, Echinoderidae)
A new kinorhynch species belonging to the genus Echinoderes is described on the basis of the materials from the subtidal sediments and various macroalgae in the south and east coast of Korea. Echinoderes lanceolatus n. sp. is characteristic in having the subcuticular scars in subventral position on segment 3 and incomplete midventral articulation on segment 4, the middorsal spines a little shorter than the corresponding segments, the 'brace-shaped' muscle scars at sternal plates of segments 9 and 10 in females, the flat posterior margin of terminal ventral plates and the lanceolate terminal tergal extension.
