First Record of Callochiton foveolatus (Polyplacophora: Callochitonidae) from Korea

The genus Callochiton Gray, 1847 is small to medium sized chiton (up to 55×36 mm in size) and includes approximately 30 species worldwide, most of which are found on hard substrata in subtidal zone. To date, only three species of Callochiton Gray, 1847 have been reported in Japan. In this study, we...

Zusammenfassung:The genus Callochiton Gray, 1847 is small to medium sized chiton (up to 55×36 mm in size) and includes approximately 30 species worldwide, most of which are found on hard substrata in subtidal zone. To date, only three species of Callochiton Gray, 1847 have been reported in Japan. In this study, we found C. foveolatus (Is. Taki, 1938) as first record of the family Callochitonidae Plate, 1901 in Korea and its morphological features were described and compared with other northwestern Pacific species. In addition, the partial fragment of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences of C. foveolatus was determined as DNA barcoding record and compared with other congeneric species.
