03D23B75FF86FF83FF5DFB38FB164CB8.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. Morphological data suggest that the new species is probably most closely related to Fabaeformiscandona akaina Smith & Janz, 2008, described from Lake Biwa, Japan. Smith & Janz (2008) placed the species in the genus Fabaeformiscandona Krstic, 1972, accepting the “ broad ” diagnosis of the genus, which follows Meisch (2000) who includes all species with a smooth “ gamma ” seta on the penultimate segment of the Md-palp, W / L ratio less than 40 % and three (fabaeformis - group), four (acuminata - and breuli- group), and five setae (balatonica - group) internally on the second segment of Md-palp, into the genus Fabaeformiscandona. Petkovski & Karanovic (2000, 2004) questioned the validity of the genus Fabaeformiscandona, because the type species of the genus Eucandona Daday, 1900, E. balatonica (Daday, 1900) (poorly known at the time) is placed into the genus Fabaeformiscandona, although this species differs in many details (including the carapace shape) from other Fabaeformiscandona species. Karanovic (2006) redefined the genus Fabaeformiscandona, proposing that it should include only species with a very low carapace in lateral view, without the most posterior (“ d ”) seta on the fifth segment of the A 1, with a group of three setae on the internal margin of the second segment of the Mdpalp, and, with a peculiar appearance of the male prehensile palp. The genus at the moment includes 39 Recent species (Karanovic 2012), but not all of those conform to the definition of the genus proposed by Karanovic (2006). The following species currently assigned to the genus should be given a new systematic position (in the genus Candona Baird, 1845 or Eucandona): F. acuminata (Fischer, 1851); F. akaina Smith & Janz, 2008; F. bilobata (Klie, 1938); F. bilobatoides (Löffler, 1961); F. breuili (Paris, 1920); F. brevicornis (Klie, 1925); F. caudata (Kaufmann, 1900); F. danielopoli Yin & Martens, 1998; F. h y a l i n a (Brady & Robertson, 1870); F. latens (Klie, 1940); F. levanderi (Hirschmann, 1912); F. nishinoae Smith & Janz, 2008; F. siliquosa (Brady, 1910). We are here not proposing any new combinations, because the taxonomy and systematic of the genus Candona is far from being resolved and the actual relationship among many of the groups is still unknown, therefore the generic position may easily change in the future. On the other hand, we decided not to include Candona quasiakaina into the genus Fabaeformiscandona, although it is very closely related to some of its current representatives, because the genus Fabaeformiscandona should be much narrower (following Karanovic 2006) and all the species C. quasiakaina is related to, definitely do not belong there.	en	Karanovic, Ivana, Lee, Wonchoel (2012): A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East Asia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea *.

03D23B75FF8CFF86FF5DFAC6FF5F4C24.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. The new species is very closely related to Candona improvisa Ostermeyer, 1937. They are the only two species of the genus Candona that have a very short, and even peculiarly curved seta “ h 1 ” on the L 7. In all other Candona species this seta is much longer. A short “ h 1 ” seta is often encountered in the genus Typhlocypris, i. e. in eremita - and rostrata - groups. Candona improvisa was described from Saxony-Anhalt, Germany (Ostermeyer 1937) and is known from Hungary, Poland and Slovakia (Meisch 2000). In both species the outer lobe on the hemipenis is subdivided: in the Korean species it is subdivided in three, while in the European species it is divided in two lobes. The other difference between the two species is the shape of the medial part (piece “ M ”) on the hemipenis, which is distally more rounded in C. improvisa. Genital field is also more acutely pointed in this species than in C. sillae. Other minor differences are related to the length of setae on the L 6, while the A 1, A 2, Md, Mxl, L 5, L 7, and UR are almost identical in both species. A similar appearance of the lobe “ a ” is present in the North American Candona inopinata Furtos, 1933, described from Ohio (Furtos 1933) and redescribed based on the type material by Karanovic (2006). The American species, however, has four setae on the inner side of the second segment of the Md-palp, a different carapace shape (much higher in the lateral view), a different shape of the right prehensile palp, a finger-like projection on the genital field, and a long “ h 1 ” seta on the L 7.	en	Karanovic, Ivana, Lee, Wonchoel (2012): A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East Asia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea *.

03D23B75FF94FF9FFF5DFF0FFD6D4EC1.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. The new species clearly belongs to the genus Fabaeformiscandona because of the carapace shape, the presence of three setae on the internal side of the second segment of the Md-palp, and because of the absence of the most posterior (“ d ”) seta on the penultimate segment of the A 1. As discussed under Candona quasiakaina sp. nov., the genus Fabaeformiscandona currently comprises many species which do not conform with the narrow definition of the genus proposed by Karanovic (2006). The genus comprises four groups of species: fabaeformiscandona – acuminata – balatonica –, and breuli – group. Species belonging to the first group have three setae on the second segment of the Md-palp, in acuminata – and breuli – groups, this segment is armed with four setae, while in balatonica – group there are five setae (Meisch 2000, Smith & Kamiya 2007, Smith & Janz 2008). The following species belong to the fabaeformis – group: F. aemonae (Klie, 1935); F. alexandri (Sywula, 1981); F. angusta (Ostermeyer, 1937), F. b r i s i a c a (Klie, 1938), F. condylea Smith & Janz, 2008; F. dolabella Smith & Janz, 2008; F. fabaeformis (Fischer, 1851); F. fragilis (Hartwig, 1898); F. holtzkampfi (Hartwig, 1900); F. japonica (Okubo, 1990); F. krstici (Petkovski, 1969); F. myllaina Smith & Kamiya, 2007; F. okuboi Smith & Janz, 2008; F. paterea Smith & Janz, 2008; F. pedana Smith & Janz, 2008; F. s v e t o z a r i (Petkovski & Karanovic, 2004); F. t o r a Smith & Kamiya, 2007; F. velifera Smith & Janz, 2008, and F. yajimae Smith & Janz, 2008.	en	Karanovic, Ivana, Lee, Wonchoel (2012): A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East Asia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea *.

03D23B75FF90FF92FF5DF89EFBA14CB9.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. The genus Typhlocypris Vejdovský, 1882 is at the moment subdivided into two subgenera: Typhlocypris s. str. and Pseudocandona Kaufmann, 1900. The nominal subgenus is divided in eremita –, caribbeana –, rostrata –, and prespica – group (Karanovic 2005 b). The new Korean species belongs to the caribbeana – group of species. This group is defined by a relatively long “ h 1 ” seta on the L 7 in comparison to the terminal segment, by a 4 - segmented L 7 and by the presence of three setae internally on the second segment of the Md-palp. It comprises approximately 20 species (see Karanovic 2006). Typhlocypris choi sp. nov. has a relatively low carapace, with an evenly rounded dorsal margin and by this characters it is closely related to several species. Typhlocypris arcuata (Klie, 1932), described from east Java (Klie 1932), is a bit higher in lateral view and the UR is much shorter than in the new species. Typhlocypris annae (Méhes, 1913), described from Columbia (Méhes 1913) and also found in Florida (Furtos 1936), has a much shorter seta “ h 3 ” on the terminal segment of L 7. Typhlocypris geratsi (Broodbakker, 1983) from Venezuela (Broodbakker 1983) and T. parvula (Sars, 1926) from Canada (Sars 1926) both have a shorter “ h 3 ” seta and also a shorter UR, as well as dorsal margin of the carapace not so evenly rounded. The Korean species is most closely related to Pseudocandona abei Smith & Janz, 2008, known from the southern basin of Lake Biwa (Smith & Janz 2008). This species is retained by the authors in the genus Pseudocandona, which is in fact a junior synonym of Typhlocypris (see discussion in Karanovic 2005 b). The carapace shape of the Japanese and Korean species is almost the same as are many details of the morphology. They differ in the following details: P. a b e i has a much shorter most distal seta situated anteriorly on the first segment of the A 1; posterior setae on the third, fourth and fifth segments in T. choi are longer than in P. abei; and posterior seta on the UR is much longer in P. abei than in the new species. Unfortunately, both species are known only after females and their similarity may indicate a very close relationship. However, we think that these differences are sufficient enough when dealing with allopatric subterranean taxa with restricted distributions. Further studies and possible finding of males will clarify this issue, and hopefully bring new characters.	en	Karanovic, Ivana, Lee, Wonchoel (2012): A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East Asia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea *.

03D23B75FF9DFF97FF5DFA8EFAEC4E07.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. The genus Schellencandona was erected to accommodate Candona - like species with seta “ d 2 ” missing on the L 7, a hemipenis with flat (not strongly sclerotized) “ M ” - piece, three setae on the second segment of Md-palp internally and with two long and one short seta on the terminal segment of the L 7, and 4 + 2 rows of spines on the Zenker organ (Meisch 1996). At the moment, the genus comprises six Recent species: S. belgica (Klie, 1937), S. insueta (Klie, 1938), S. schellenbergi (Klie, 1934); S. simililampadis (Danielopol, 1978), S. triquetra (Klie, 1936), and S. yakushimaensis Smith & Kamiya, 2006. Most of the species have been found in subterranean waters of Europe (Klie 1934, 1936, 1937, 1938; Danielopol 1978; Meisch 1996, 2000), while S. yakushimaensis Smith & Kamiya, 2006 was described from a temporary water body in Japan (Smith & Kamiya 2006). With the exception of the Japanese species, all others are known from both male and female specimens. Of the new Korean species we also collected only female specimens. Despite the lack of males, we decided to place it in the genus Schellencandona, based of its small size and the chaetotaxy of the L 7. It differs from the European species by the carapace shape, which is trapezoidal to subtrapezoidal in lateral view in the European species, while the dorsal margin in the new species is rounded and the carapace is more bean-shaped. Schellencandona tea sp. nov. is very closely related to S. yakushimaensis, but differs in the chaetotaxy of the A 1 (antero-distal seta on the first segment of A 1 is missing in the Korean species and there is only one seta on the fourth and fifth segments), as well as in seta “ g ” on the L 6 and seta “ h 1 ” on the L 7, which are both shorter in the Japanese species.

03D23B75FF98FFAAFF5DF8E6FB084E74.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. This species was originally described from a marsh in Canton, China. Brehm (1923) provided only a couple of drawings and a brief description. Based on this, it was difficult to give it a proper generic position, and consequently it was omitted from the key to the genus provided by Karanovic & Marmonier (2002) and Karanovic (2012). This species is also mentioned by Lee et al. (2000) as C. cf. transgrediens collected from around Ulsan, Korea. The authors, however, provide no other details of their record. The species collected for this study is here identified as Candonopsis transgrediens based on a very peculiar ornament on the posterior margin of the UR, i. e. a row of relatively thick teeth. This feature is indeed illustrated by Brehm (1923), but its relevance and correctness was unclear, because all other drawings provided in the same paper are of a low quality. With our Korean material, we can now establish this specific ornament of the UR as a unique feature of C. transgrediens, distinguishing it from all other representatives of the genus. Candonopsis transgrediens belongs to the nominal subgenus because it has a basal seta on the L 6 (see Karanovic 2004). It is very closely related to the group of species where the posterior claw on the UR carries a distinctive spine, a grouping that was proposed by Klie (1932). Namely, this author divided the genus into three species groups: 1. both claws carry one prominent spine; 2. both claws without a spine; 3. only the posterior claw has a prominent spine. In Klie's time groups even had separate geographic distribution, i. e. species from the first and the last groups were known only from Africa and Australia, while species from the second group were restricted to Europe and the Americas. Along with the discovery of more species and genera within the tribe Candonopsini (Karanovic & Marmonier 2002; Karanovic 2004, 2007, 2008), Klie's biogeographic delimitation of species groups could no longer be sustained. The redescription of Candonopsis transgrediens provides an opportunity to place this species into the key to the Candonopsis (Candonopsis) species of the world. This key is modified after Karanovic (2012).	en	Karanovic, Ivana, Lee, Wonchoel (2012): A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East Asia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea *.

03D23B75FFA6FFADFF5DFAB5FB0B4C94.taxon	discussion	Remarks and affinities. The genus Dolerocypria at the moment comprises 12 species (Maddocks 2005), and they occur in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but also in the subtropical and moderate regions of Japan (Wouters 2001). Dolerocypria mukaishimensis Okubo, 1980 was described only after females (Okubo 1980), but the males were latter on collected and described by Nakao & Tsukagoshi (2002). The species is relatively common in Japan living from marine to brackish waters, reaching the highest abundance in brackish environment (Smith & Kamiya 2003). The male upon which Nakao & Tsukagoshi (2002) based their description was probably subadult, because the chitinous rows on the Zenker organ are not fully developed and some additional soft tissue (like a small flap) accompanies the hemipenis on the internal side. Unfortunately, the authors never described both prehensile palps, so only the appearance of the right one is known and it looks very much like the one found in males of the Korean population. Since our males were fully developed, they had a normal Zenker organ and the flap on the hemipenis was not observed. There are, however, several differences between the Japanese and the Korean populations. The first, probably the most important one, is the number of posterior setae on the UR. While on the drawings of Okubo (1980) and Nakao & Tsukagoshi (2002), there is only one (more distal seta), we have found one more seta situated more proximally. However, because the posterior margin of the UR is densely covered with spines, the second, very short seta could be easy overlooked. In the entire genus Dolerocypria the number of posterior setae on the ramus varies from none to two and they are always very short, like in D. mukaishimensis. Similar miscalculations of the number of posterior setae on the UR have already occurred in this genus (see McKenzie 1979). The other difference is related to the fact that the L 6 and L 7 are covered with conspicuous setulae, not illustrated in Nakao & Tsukagoshi (2002) for neither of these legs, but in Okubo (1980) the L 7 has also some sort of long setulae along the margins of the appendage, but not the L 6. In addition, the genital field in the Korean population is covered with tiny spinules, not described for the Japanese species. Despite these differences we believe that the investigated Korean population is conspecific with the Japanese one and thus belong to D. mukaishimensis. It is most probable that they represent interspecific variability. Other than that, the carapace shape and structure, as well as the appearance and the chaetotaxy of all other appendages are the same in these two populations. The systematics of the entire subfamily Paracypridinae is in an urgent need of revision, and although several attempts of improvement were made (see Maddocks 1992, 2005), none has resolved the current problems, such as many overlapping morphological characters between different genera and no clear synapomorhies.	en	Karanovic, Ivana, Lee, Wonchoel (2012): A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East Asia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea *.
