Abstract
A small-sized clausidiid copepod was found associated with the commerc ially important bivalve, Ruditapes philippinarum, from a Korean coasta l lagoon. Since it resembles morphologically a European form known as Hersiliodes latericius, it is attributed to a new species, H. exiguus n. sp., of the same genus. The uneasy distinction between the genera H ersiliodes and the very similar Hemicyclops is discussed.
