Two unrecorded penaeid shrimp species of the genus Parapenaeus (Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata) from Korean waters

Two Parapenaeus species, P. australiensis Dall, 1957 and P. fissurus (Spence Bate, 1881), collected from around Jeju Island and east of Busan, southern Korean waters, are briefly described here. Both species are newly recorded from Korean waters, with the former record representing a considerable range extension from the tropical western Pacific to the northern East China Sea. Distributional and morphological accounts of these species are presented.
