Remarks.

Due to the close relatedness of this species to H. gomsoensis Ho & Kim, 1992, Moon and Kim (2010) compared it in detail with the latter species in the original description. Moon and Kim (2010) found H. parilis from burrows of unknown invertebrates on the south coast of Korea. The host of this copepod has turned out to be the decapod crustacean Upogebia issaeffi (Balss, 1913). We collected it at six collection sites in this study, which indicates that the decapod host is likely to occur at those sites.
