| Abstract |
This paper describes four species belonging to the genus Microporella Hincks, 1877 from Korean waters. M. antiborealis Liu, Liu, and Sun, 2003, M. elegans Suwa and Mawatari, 1998, M. neocribroides Dick and Ross, 1988, and M. rota Chowdhury and Di Martino, 2024 are newly added to the Korean bryozoan fauna. All specimens collected from eleven localities from 2000 to 2020 are redescribed and illustrated using Scanning Electron Microscopy in this study. With the addition of four species reported herein, a total of nine Korean Microporella is recorded as follows: M. antiborealis, M. borealis, M. ciliata, M. cribrosa, M. discors, M. elegans, M. marsupiata, M. neocribroides, and M. rota. Seven species, excluding M. ciliata and M. marsupiata, are distributed only in the Pacific Ocean, including the Indo-Pacific. In comparison, the above two species occur in the Atlantic Ocean. |
