Suh","doi":"10.12651/JSR.2016.5.3.261","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12651/JSR.2016.5.3.261","url":null,"abstract":"(±130 million SE) species in the world (Mora et al., 2011), but this is only an estimate, and the actual num­ ber of species discovered as of 2015 was 1.65 million (National Diversity Center, 2016), which represents only about 19% of this estimate. The discovery and record­ ing of biological species is an important process and outcome of taxonomic research, which has progressed persistently worldwide since the establishment of taxo­ nomic systems. Recently, focus on the economic value of biological species has led to each country using tax­ onomic studies, such as reports of new and unrecorded species, as evidence to claim sovereignty over indige­ nous species. This trend is making taxonomic research even more important. When a new biological species that has never been re­ corded worldwide is discovered, it becomes a candidate new species. If a species is distributed in other countries, but is newly discovered in a country where it has not been recorded previously, it becomes a candidate unre­ corded species for that country. It is only by valid pub­ lication in an academic journal or other published ma­ terial that such a candidate species can receive official recognition as a new or unrecorded species. Following official recognition, the species is added to the official list of species for that country. These academic records and valid data of species are the most certain form of ev­ idence for claiming national sovereignty in international relations. Approximately 100,000 indigenous species are esti­ mated to inhabit the Korean Peninsula (Lim et al., 2008), but the number of species recorded was only 28,462 as of 1996 (The Korean National Council for Conservation of Nature, 1996), and only 29,916 as of 2005 (Ministry of Environment, 2005). Hence, in an effort to find undis­ covered species living in the Korean Peninsula, the Ko­ rean Ministry of Environment launched the ‘Discovery of Korean Indigenous Species’ in 2006. The National Institute of Biological Resources (here after NIBR) was established in 2007, and has taken the lead on this proj­ ect in addition to ‘The Compilation of National List of Species of Korea’. Through these projects, a large number of new and unrecorded species have been discovered and added to ‘National List of Indigenous Species of the Korea’, increasing the total number of species to 45,295 as of 2015 (Table 1). This number represents a considerable increase in the number of indigenous species in the Ko­ rean Peninsula in 2015 compared to 1996 and 2005 (Fig. 1).

Identification of the related species with similar morphological characteristics is not an easy task for the taxonomist. Long and slender arms as well as short arms occur in the same species (D’yakonov, 1950). Fisher (1911) observed that the species within the Henricia probably undergo the hybridization process, and that his work with this genus and species classification had to be considered temporary. Clark (1996) formally designated and made some revisions of Fisher’s Henricia species in order to differentiate it from another subspecies. In the work of D’yakonov (1950), he observed a great number of deviations and individuals of the intermediate form. It has been suggested that more taxonomic works in these species should be done especially in the North Pacific so that the disagreements of the literature in the past will be resolved (Lambert, 2000). Eernisse et al. (2010) observ­ ed that an extension of the study of small brooding spe­ cies of the Henricia to the far northern and northwestern Pacific is still needed. Henricia complex based mainly on morphological differences in the structure of the dor­ sal spines was further divided into species by Madsen (1987). He also revived some name of Henricia species such as Henricia spongiosa. Eight Henricia species, H. leviuscula, H. nipponica, H. ohshimai, H. pachyderma, H. pacifica, H. regularis, H. reniossa, and H. reticulata, were recorded from the Korean fauna (Shin and Rho, 1996; Shin, 2010; Shin and Ubagan, 2015a; 2015b).","PeriodicalId":426231,"journal":{"name":"Journal of species research","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131403595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This taxon has diagnostic features such that the prostomium is pointed anteriorly and the branchiae beginning from the setiger 2 are fused to the notopodial lamellae (Zhou et al., 2009; Meißner and Götting, 2015). Scolelepis species are grouped into two subgenera, Scolelepis and Parascolelepis, by the morphology of the hooded hooks: Scolelepis includes the species with uni­, bi­, or tridentate hooded hooks and Parascolelepis contains those with the multidentate hooded hooks (Zhou et al., 2009; Rocha and de Paiva, 2012). To date, this genus comprises 86 valid species, and 74 species of them are belonging to the subgenus Scolelepis and remaining 12 species are the components of the subgenus Parascolelepis (Sikorski and Pavlova, 2015). In East Asia, 10 species of the subgenus Scolelepis, S. (S.) angulata Zhou, 2014, S. (S.) branchia Imajima, 1992, S. (S.) daphoinos Zhou, Ji and Li, 2009, S. (S.) globosa Wu and Chen, 1964, S.

However, the genus Scolelepis has been poorly studied in Korean waters and only one species, S. (P.) yamaguchii, is recorded from this region (Paik, 1982; 1989). In this study, we dealt with the materials of Scolelepis from Korean waters, and described a new record of S.

It contains more than 700 species (Schmelz and Collado, 2015). Most of them dwell in ter­ restrial habitats, but some genera and species are aquat­ ic or amphibious in both habitats (Giani, 1976; Timm, 1994; Rota and Healy, 1999; Schmelz, 2003; Erséus, 2005). They play important roles in the soil and sediment ecology as environmental indicator species as they could be useful parameters for soil quality assessments (Did­ den, 1993; Graefe, 1993; Graefe and Schmelz, 1999). It is difficult to identify enchytraeid species due to strong morphological resemblance between closely related species in the location of chaetae and the shape of the reproductive organs, etc (Schmelz, 1996; Mastamoros, 2011). There have been many studies on this group of animal in Asia, and most of them focused on terrestrial specie. However, a few species aquatic or semi­aquat­ ic species have been reported (Yamaguchi, 1953; Torii and Ohtaka, 2007; Wang and Cui, 2007; Chen and Xie, 2008; Torii, 2012). According to recent studies about this group of animals in Korea, 27 terrestrial species and 2 aquatic species have been reported (An and Yang, 2009; Dózsa­Farkas and Hong, 2010; Christensen and Dózsa­Farkas, 2012; Dózsa­Farkas et al., 2014). Two aquatic species, however, were undetermined: Henlea sp. 1 and Mesenchytreanus sp. 1 (Park et al., 2013).

They are found in almost all fresh­ water environments and could be dominant in their hab­ itats depending on surrounding conditions (van Haaren, 2002; Behrend et al., 2009; Ragonha and Takeda, 2014). These worms act as mediators between the primary producers and the upper consumers, decomposers, or some times intermediate hosts of parasites in freshwater ecosystems (Pandit, 1980; Gardner et al., 1981). And withstanding water pollution, some species are preferred as biological indicators for freshwater environments (Chakrabarty and Das, 2006; Ferreira et al., 2011). Oligochaetes are known for more than 5,000 species around the world. Of these, approximately 1,600 spe­ cies are found in freshwater environment (Martin et al., 2008). Faunistic studies on freshwater oligochates have been actively carried out in the East Asian regions main­ ly by scientists of China and Japan (Hatai, 1898; Chen, 1940). Consequently, about 319 species and 438 species have been reported in China and Japan, respectively (Ohtaka and Nishino, 1999; 2006; Wang and Cui, 2007; Cui et al., 2008; 2015; Cui and Wang, 2009a; 2009b; He et al., 2010; Ohtaka, 2012; 2014; Pan et al., 2014). Riverine system of the Korean peninsula is composed of several geographically separated freshwater systems, each of which shows its unique freshwater fauna. There­ fore, this peninsula possesses biological diversity more than expected (Jung et al., 2009). Nonetheless, study of aquatic oligochaete fauna in Korea is still in its begin­ ning stages compared to those of China and Japan. In Korea, the number of reliable species of aquatic oligo­ chaetes is around 48 species (Brinkhurst et al., 1994; Yoon et al., 2000; Jung, 2011; 2012; Park et al., 2013a; 2013b; Lee and Jung, 2014a; 2014b; 2015).
