A New Record of Microarthridion littorale (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Tachidiidae) from Korea with Taxonomic Note on the Species

A harpacticoid copepod, Microarthridion littorale (Poppe, 1881), is newly recorded in Korea. Microarthridion species can be distinguished from each other by a combination of the number of the antennular segment, the number of the seta on the antennary exopod, and the armature of the thoracopod legs....
