Material examined: On Pagurus japonicus : 1 Ind., Jeju, Korea, 13 Apr. 2014, MADBK 160710_012, Coll. Park J, host: male, SL 9.1 mm; 1 Ind., Seogwipo, Korea, Scuba, 25 Aug. 2007, EVOSYS 260710#021, host: male, SL 8.3 mm; 1 Ind., Seogwipo, 33°33'45.99"N 126°28'19.14"E, Scuba, 12 Aug. 2009, MADBK 160710_002, host: female, SL 8.1 mm.
Host: P. japonicus ( Paguridae ).
Distribution: Korea.
Remarks: The externae of the present specimens were single with an oval shape and have a chitinous shield. However, mantle could not be examined because the specimens were damaged. Because mitochondrial sequences could not be obtained, we tentatively identified these specimens as Peltogaster sp. 1 . Additional specimens and further research is needed to make a more precise identification. McDermott et al. (2010) reported that Pagurus japonicus has two parasitic barnacle species, Peltogaster lineata and P. ovalis , which have a single oval shape for the whole externa ( Yoshida et al. 2014). Therefore, the present specimens might be regarded as one of these two species, based on their host and shape of the whole externa.
