Abstract

An ampithoid species, previously known as A. tarasovi in Korea, is assigned as a new species, A. changbaensissp. nov. based on the reexamination of the holotype of A. tarasovi. The new species shows different morphological characteristics compared to A. tarasovi, especially in male gnathopods 1 and 2. The type material of A. tarasovi is redescribed and illustrated here and a key to the Korean species of Ampithoe is provided.
