Labidocera pavo Giesbrecht, 1889 and L. sinilobata Shen and Lee, 1963, belonging to the detruncata group in the genus Labidocera were collected from the southwestern coastal waters of Korea, using a Norpac net (0.2 mm mesh size). Labi- docera sinilobata, known to be endemic species in estuary of Chinese rivers, is the first record in Korean waters. In Chinese waters, this species has only been briefly documented and illustrated. In the study, their morphological characteristics were fully redescribed with careful examination of the fine epidermal structure using a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) in addition to their illustrations and compared with species of the detruncata species-group.
