( Plate 5. 2 a-b)

Polymorphina amplissima McCulloch, 1977, p. 162 , pl. 78, figs. 4-7.

Material examined. Korea, East Sea , station E8 (38°04 ʹ 50.187 ʺ N, 128°42 ʹ 32.872 ʺ E), 20 May 2016, by Van Veen Grab, collected by Raehyuk Jeong and Jisu Yeom. NIBR ID: NIBRPR0000107251 GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. Test elongate, fusiform, with broadly round- ed initial end, and rounded periphery. Chamber arrangement biserial, sutures distinct, oblique, and slightly depressed. Wall calcareous, hyaline perforate, surface smooth, translucent to nearly opaque. Aperture terminal, produced, radiate.

Remark. According to WoRMS and National List of Species of Korea (2012), there are 79 extant species in the genus Polymorphina , and four species are reported from Korea. According to the original description of this species, our specimen seems close to the megalospheric form, which has a broadly rounded initial end.
