A new species of the family Calliopiidae was collected from the East Sea of Korea. is similar to Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1997 in having numerous calceoli on the posteromedial margins of antennae and a weakly carinate body. However, the new species can be distinguished from by the shorter process on peduncular article 3 of antenna 1, subrectangular eyes, and fewer articles in the antenna flagellum. This species, along with Shimoji et al. 2020, occurs in the Western Pacific. The females of the two species are morphologically very similar, but the males of are easily distinguishable, as the gnathopod 1 is larger than gnathopod 2. The new species is fully illustrated and extensively compared with related species. In this paper, both and Calliopiidae are reported from Korea for the first time. A key to species of is also provided.
