Introduction
The genus Lamprops Sars, 1863, belonging to the family Lampropidae, commonly inhabits cool water, is bipolar in distribution and is also a shallow water marine benthos (Day 1978; Tsareva and Kepel 2001). This genus is morphologically characterized by having a distinct antennal notch, telson with 3-5 apical setae and male lacking pleopods (Given 1964; Gamô 1967; Kim et al. 2015). To date, 22 species have been reported worldwide (Tzareva and Vassilenko 2006; Roccatagliata and Mühlendhardt-Siegel 2012; WoRMS 2015). For the study on the Korean lampropid species, lampropid specimens were collected from the East Sea of Korea. Recently, two Lamprops species, Lamprops carinatus Hart, 1930 and Lamprops pseudosarsi Tsareva & Vassilenko, 1993 were reported for the first time in Korean waters (Kim et al. 2015) and here we describe and illustrate a new species of the genus. Therefore, a total of four species of the lampropid species including Hemilamprops californicus (Zimmer, 1936) are reported from Korea.
Material and methods
The specimens were collected using a light-trap (Holmes and O’Connor 1988; Kim 1992) from shallow water at Geojin Port, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea. The specimens were fixed in 70–80% ethanol and dissected in glycerol on cobb’s aluminum hole slides. Drawings and measurements were performed with the aid of a drawing tube. Measurements for the body length were made from the anterior tip of the carapace to the last abdominal segment and for each appendage were made along the mid–line of the articles, exclusive of the inflated outer angle. Type specimens were deposited at the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), Incheon, Korea and at the Department of Biological Science, Dankook University (DKU), Cheonan, Korea. The terminology for the setae follows that used by Watling (1989) and Gerken (2010, 2013).

Remarks.
This new species resembles Lamprops comatus Zimmer, 1907, Lamprops carinatus (Hart, 1930), Lamprops flavus (Harada, 1959), Lamprops pumilio (Zimmer, 1937), Lamprops tomalesi Gladfelter, 1975, and Lamprops obfuscatus (Gladfelter, 1975) in lacking an oblique ridges on the carapace and lateral setae on the telson. Lamprops donghaensis sp. n., however, is distinguished from its congeners by the dorsal concave groove and lateral concave depressed area on pereonite 2. The characteristics are listed in Table 1 as well as in the key. The new species is more similar to Lamprops carinatus in having a similar medium-sized body, a similar terminal setae type of telson, and similar length ratio for the uropodal exopod and endopod (see Hart 1930, and Kim et al. 2015). However, the new species is distinguished from Lamprops carinatus by the combination of the following features (Lamprops carinatus condition in parentheses): 1) pereonite 2 concave dorsally, with dorsal transverse groove and lateral rounded depressed area (flat dorsally, without dorsal groove and lateral depressed area); 2) maxilliped 3, basis with a row of plumose setae anteriorly (without plumose setae anteriorly); 3) telson 1.48 × pleonite 6 (1.31 × pleonite 6); 4) uropodal peduncle with 17–18 small stout microserrate setae (with 11 setae); 5) uropodal endopod, distal article with 4 microserrate setae medially (without microserrate seta).
Table 1.: Comparison of morphological characteristics among Lamprops donghaensis sp. n. and related species.
Etymology.
The specific epithet donghaensis originates from the Korean word “Dong-Hae”, meaning the East Sea, named after the eastern Korean coast in which the species was discovered.
Habitat.
The new species was collected together with Lamprops carinatus and Lamprops pseudosarsi at the same location, in Geojin Port, Goseong-gun, Korea, which is a sandy substrate.
Distribution.
Geojin Port, Geojin-eup, Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea.
