Marine benthic harpacticoid copepods are poorly known in Korea due to the difficulty in
obtaining specimens. Currently, the genus Stylicletodes Lang, 1936, which is known to
occur in subtidal sediments, has not been reported in this area so far. During surveys on
the subtidal meiofauna, we found a new species of Stylicletodes from several subtidal
muddy sediments in the Yellow Sea and South Sea.
