Remarks. This new species Bodotria jejuensis sp. nov. is similar to B. similis Calman, 1907, B. rugosa Gamô, 1963, B. carinata Gamô, 1964, and B. biplicata Gamô, 1964 which are distributed in Japanese waters, in having a pitted carapace and well-marked dorso-lateral carina. However, the new species is obviously distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following features (based on list in Table 1): 1) carapace longish elliptical in dorsal view (vs. subquadrangular in B. carinata); 2) carapace, lateral carina slightly curved, almost reaching end of posterior margin (vs. curved dorsally, reaching 2/3 length of carapace in B. rugosa and B. biplicata; straight, near end of posterior margin in B. carinata); 3) carapace, lateral longitudinal ridge distinct, curved upwards posteriorly to merge with lateral carina (vs. almost parallel to the lateral carina in B. rugosa, B. biplicata, and B. similis; absent in B. carinata); 4) dorsal carina of free thoracic segment moderately elevated (vs. strongly elevated in B. carinata and B. similis); 5) free thoracic segment with well-marked lateral carina (vs. without lateral carina in B. biplicata); 6) free thoracic segments 3–5 subquadrate in lateral view (vs. subtriangular in B. biplicata and B. similis); 7) pereopod 1, carpus dilated laterally (vs. not dilated in B. rugosa, B. biplicata, and B. similis); 8) pereopod 2, basis with 10 short simple, 1 simple, and 1 complex pedunculated setae in female (vs. serration in B. rugosa; 4 plumose setae in B. biplicata; 1 simple seta in B. carinata; 4 plumose setae in B. similis).
On the other hand, Gamô (1962) dealt with geographical and individual variation of Bodotria similis with male and female specimens (3.8–4.8mm) collected from Omai Zaki, Japan. They are also similar to B. jejuensis sp. nov in having the lateral ridge, laterally dilated carpus on pereopod 1, and relatively long uropod. However, the new species is obviously distinguished from B. smilis reported from Japanese waters by a combination of following features: 2) free thoracic segment lateral carina well-marked (vs. faintly marked in developing marsupium female); 1) carapace, lateral ridge well developed, curved upwards posteriorly to merge with lateral carina (vs. faint, almost parallel to the lateral carina in mature male, without lateral ridge in developing marsupium female); 3) pereopod 1, carpus dilated laterally (vs. not dilated in mature male); 4) free thoracic segment 3–5 subquadrate in lateral view (vs. subtriangular).
Distribution. Korea (Jeju-do Is., shallow water, 6m).
