| Abstract |
The authors prepared a checklist of the anomurans in Cheju Island and its adjacent water based upon the literature records and the materials collected chiefly during the period of present survey from September 30, 1986 to April 24, 1987 from 12 localities in Cheju Island.In the present checklist, the materials were identified into 18 species in 7 families, in which 2 species (Callianassa japonica, Pagurus ochotensis) were unrecorded ones from Cheju Island and its adjacent waters and Dardanus pedunculatus (Herbst) was newly recorded from Korean waters.The authors gave the description and figures of Dardanus pedunculatus.Out of 34 anomuran species which were recorded in this checklist, 16 species in 9 families only appeared in literature records, 34 species occupy 58.6% of 58 species that were recorded from Korean waters up to now.17 species (50%) of 34 species were reported only in Cheju Island and its adjacent waters, and 7 species (20.6%) were southern form |
