ABSTRACT
Two species of squat lobsters,
Raymunida formosanus Lin, Chan and Chu, 2004 andRaymunida lineata Osawa, 2005, are newly added to the Korean decapod fauna. The genusRaymunida Macpherson and Machordom, 2000 is also reported for the first time in Korea. It differs morphologically from other Korean genera,Munida andParamunida , in having the first to third pereopods with epipods and the carpus of the third maxilliped with a distal spine on flexor margin. Illustrations and pictures of these two species are provided with descriptions, and the key to the species of Korean Munidids is also provided.

The family Munididae Ahyong, Baba, Macpherson and Poore, 2010 is the most diverse family in the galatheoids and includes 421 species in 20 genera worldwide (Macpherson and Baba, 2011). However, only 2 species of 2 genera have been reported from the Korean fauna:
Munida japonica Stimpson, 1858 andParamunida scabra (Henderson, 1885) (see Kim, 1973). The genusRaymunida Macpherson and Machordom, 2000 belonging to the family Munididae accommodates 12 species (Osawa, 2012). It is separated from the genusMunida Leach, 1820 by Macpherson and Machordom (2000) based on morphological characters: 1) first to third pereopods bearing epipods; 2) frontal margin of carapace with one spine; 3) third maxilliped with carpus having one spine at flexor distal margin. As a result of study on Korean galatheoids fauna,Raymunida formosanus Lin, Chan and Chu, 2004 andRaymunida lineata Osawa, 2005 are recorded for the first time in Korea. They were collected from southern coast of Jeju Island. Of these, the northern range of geographical distribution ofR. formosanus is extended from Taiwan to Jeju Island in Korea. Both species differ in the number of spines on anterior branchial regions, spination of antennal articles, and thickness of the first pereopod. In this study, illustrations, including photographs, and descriptions are provided and the key to the species of Korean munidids is also provided.The specimens examined in this study were preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol. All drawings were prepared by using camera lucida on a Nikon SMZ800 (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). All characters were measured using an analog caliper diaMax 4112102 (Wiha, Schonach, Germany) to the nearest 0.1 mm. The terminology used follows Baba et al. (2011). The abbreviation CL refers to the carapace length measured across the middle of the carapace from the anterior border excluding rostrum to the posterior border. Higher classification follows Ahyong et al. (2011). The specimens examined in the present study are deposited in the Marine Arthropod Depository Bank of Korea (MADBK), Seoul National University.

Distribution. Taiwan, New South Wales of Australia and Korea.Remarks. Raymunida formosanus has been recorded from Taiwan and eastern Australia (Baba et al., 2009). Thus, the present specimens from Jeju Island are the most northern record of this species.Raymunida formosanus is morphologically similar toR. confundens Macpherson and Machordom, 2001. They share the following characteristics: the second antennal article is unarmed on mesial margin, and the frontal margin has one small spine. However, theR. formosanus can be distinguished by the following characteristics. 1) In the present species, the anterior branchial region bears four to five spines, butR. confundens , has four spines. 2) The first pereopod is robuster than that ofR. confundens . 3) The second to fourth pereopods bear distinct squamae, while inR. confundens , distinct squamae absent (Lin et al., 2004).The present specimens agreed well with the original description (Lin et al., 2004) except for the length of the distomesial spine on antennal article 1. Lin et al. (2004) mentioned that the spine reached the first antennular article. In addition, their illustration (Lin et al. 2004, fig. 1b, f) indicated that distomesial spine on antennal article 1 overreached distal margin of antennal article 4. However, in examined specimens, the spine slightly reached distal margin of antennal article 3. Such difference seems to be a morphological variation of the species.

Distribution. Indonesia, Japan and Korea.Remarks. Osawa (2005) described that the brachial margins ofRaymunida lineata are moderately convex. However, the present specimen has subparallel branchial margins. Nevertheless, the present specimen agreed well with the type description in other diagnostic aspects.According to original description of Osawa (2005),
Raymunida lineata is closely related toR. elegantissima (De Man, 1902) in antennal article 2 armed with one small spine on mesial margin, and maxilliped 3 with unarmed merus on extensor margin. However, the present species differs in the following points fromR. elegantissima : thoracic sternites 5, 6 each having distinct oblique ridges on lateral parts, while inR. elegantissima , having faint, short ridges on lateral parts; antennal article 1 overreaching distal margin of antennal article 4, but inR. elegantissima , antennal article 1 reaching distal margin of antennal article 3.Key to the species of Korean munidids
