Remarks
Before our study, Sinoediceros homopalmulus Shen, 1955 represented a monotypic genus that was reported from the coastal waters of the East China Sea. Sinoediceros hwanghaensis sp. nov. is differentiated from S. homopalmulus by the following characteristics ( S. homopalmulus characters in parentheses): 1) flagellum of antenna 2 very short, 0.25 times peduncle (vs. 0.45 times peduncle); 2) the carpal lobe of gnathopod 2 extending just beyond posterior end of propodus (vs. greatly exceeding posterior end of propodus); 3) rami of uropod 3 slightly longer than peduncle, about 1.1 times peduncle (vs. much longer than peduncle, about 1.5 times peduncle); 4) mandibular palp article 3 elongate, subequal to article 2 (short, 0.5 times article 2); and 5) outer plate of the maxilliped elongate, reaching 0.75 times palp article 2 (vs. short, reaching palp article 1).
Distribution
Korea (Yellow Sea, Korea Strait).
