Etymology. The specific epithet hwanghaensis originates from the Korean word “Hwang-Hae”, meaning the Yellow Sea, named after the region in which the species was discovered.
Remarks. This new species Bodotria (Bodotria) hwanghaensis sp. nov. is similar to B. (B.) ovalis Gamô, 1965 in the combination of the following features: 1) carapace almost ovoid in dorsal view; 2) dorso-lateral carina well-developed over whole length of carapace; 3) all free pereonites with lateral carina well-marked; 4) pereopod 1 carpus not dilated; 5) uropod endopod uniarticulate. However, the new species is obviously distinguished from B. (B.) ovalis by the combination of the following features (Table 1, condition of B. (B.) ovalis in parentheses): 1) carapace, dorsal surface is not flattened (vs. almost flattened); 2) pereon, dorso-median carina slightly elevated, except that third pereonite is raised postero-dorsally (vs. dorso-median carina on the third to fifth pereonites is raised); 3) pereopod 1, carpus 1.9 times merus length (vs. 1.5 times merus length); 4) pereopod 2, basis without plumose seta (vs. with 6 plumose setae).
Depth. 2–3 m.
Distribution. Korea (Yellow Sea).
