Abstract
The neustonic calanoid copepodsPontella securifer Brady, 1883 andP. sinica Chen and Zhang, 1965 are first recorded in Korea. These species occur in high temperatures over 23 °C and in a range of salinity from 26.6 to 31.2 psu. We provide full descriptions of the two species and discuss their zoogeography.
