These shell morphological variations make it challenging to differentiate species, based on morphology alone, often resulting in various taxonomic errors, such as misidentifications, overlooking cryptic species diversity or a plethora of nominal species. The genus <i>Siphonaria</i> constitutes a significant component of the macrobenthic invertebrate fauna in intertidal habitats across temperate to tropical regions. Given the limited attention to shell variation in previous taxonomic studies on the Korean <i>Siphonaria</i> species, the extensive range of ecophenotypic shell variations documented in this group raises questions about the taxonomic validity of previously reported <i>Siphonaria</i> species in Korea.<h2>New information</h2>The present study provides a comprehensive taxonomic review of Korean <i>Siphonaria</i> species using a combination of shell morphology, radula structure and phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA <i>cox1</i> sequences. This integrative analysis confirmed the validity of <i>S. acmaeoides</i>, <i>S. japonica</i> and <i>S. sirius</i> in Korea, highlighting differences in shell and siphonal groove morphology amongst these species. Detailed descriptions of shell and radula characteristics, along with mtDNA <i>cox1</i> sequences as DNA barcodes, are also provided, which are very useful for the accurate identification of <i>Siphonaria</i> species. Unlike these three <i>Siphonaria</i> species, the taxonomic validity of the four other species (<i>S. coreensis</i>, <i>S. javanica</i>, <i>S. laciniosa</i> and <i>S. rucuana</i>) previously reported from Korean waters is questionable, given their documented geographic distribution ranges and the potential misidentification of shell variants in Korean malacofaunal studies.<br>&nbsp;","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Taxonomic review of Korean <i>Siphonaria</i> species (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Siphonariidae)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:58:19.190595","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":" Korean Siphonaria, , taxonomic review, shell morphology, radula, mtDNA <i>cox1</i>","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-03-10","DateCreate":"2025-03-10","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.3897/BDJ.13.e139388"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":405995,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"e139388","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"13","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":250111,"SerRR":"Biodiversity Data Journal.
