First record of Ishizakiella supralittorais (Ostracoda, Cytheroidea, Leptocytheridae) from South Korea with a key to species of the genus

Abstract

Ishizakiella supralittoralis(Schornikov, 1974) was collected from rock pools near Busan, South Korea, and is redescribed herein. It is the first record of this species from Korea, and also the first finding of a living population of Ishizakiella McKenzie & Sudijono, 1981 from the continental margins. Here we also comment on the diversity of Ishizakiella in Japan, possible existence of cryptic species, and provide a key to all six currently known species of this genus, including the two fossil ones.
