Remarks

Heterocypris salina has a Holarctic distribution often found in fresh to slightly brackish waters ( Meisch 2000). Its presence along the coast in Korea is thus not unexpected, but this is the first record from the country. It was found at one locality (locality 1) from a freshwater water rock pool and in a small ditch leading from a cave, both of which were overlooking the sea.

Subfamily DOLEROCYPRIDINAE Triebel, 1961
