The new species was identified as the dominant species in the Korean brackish water region, yet its morphological characteristics had not been studied until now. The morphology of the propodus of gnathopod 2 elongate-ovate and outer ramus of uropod 3 about 9 times longer than wide, are the major characteristics which differentiate the new species from its congeners. Additionally, nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) of <i>M</i>. <i>aestuarina</i><strong> sp. nov.</strong> support divergence at the species level. The other species, <i>Melita shimizui</i> was previously known from Chinese and Japanese waters. It exhibits similarities with <i>M. choshigawaensis </i>and<i> M. setiflagella</i>. However, <i>M. shimizui</i> can be obviously distinguished by having linear outer ramus of uropod 3, which is distinct from <i>M</i>. <i>choshigawaensis</i> and weakly setose antenna 2, which is distinct from <i>M. setiflagella</i>. Both species are illustrated and compared to related species and a key is also provided to the species of genus <i>Melita </i>from Korea.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"A new species of the genus<i> Melita</i> (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Melitidae) and a new record for <i>Melita shimizui</i> from Korean brackish waters","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:58:19.190595","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"<i>Melita shimizui, Melita aestuarina,</i> Amphipod, COI","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2024,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-01-06","DateCreate":"2025-01-06","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.11646/zootaxa.5551.3.4"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":405189,"PubliDate":2024,"Pagination":"512-530","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"5551","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":57347,"SerRR":"Zootaxa.
