BackgroundThe   Laophontidae   is a very large and diverse family containing more than 320 species and 74 genera in the   Harpacticoida  . According to records published until recently, 25 species of 12 genera of   Laophontidae   were reported to appear in Korean waters. The most common laophontid species in Korean waters is    Paralaophonte   congenera    (Sars, 1908). During research on the meiobenthic community in the subtidal zone near the Korean coast in the East Sea, we found an undescribed genus of the   Laophontidae   family. The character traits of this undescribed specimen of the   Laophontidae   family do not match any existing genus.New informationHerein, a new genus of the interstitial marine benthic copepods family   Laophontidae   T. Scott, 1905 is described from the subtidal zone near Hupo Harbour on the east coast of Korea. This genus was named    Strictlaophonte    gen. nov. and has been classified into the family   Laophontidae  . This was based on the presence of seven segmented female antennules, reduced antennary exopod, first endopodal segments having no inner setae from the second leg to the fourth leg and P5 with a distinct exopod that is not fused at the basis. The distinguishing features of    Strictlaophonte    gen. nov. are P5 exopod having only four setae, the P1 exopod having two segments and the antenna exopod having four setae. In particular, this new genus has unique characteristics in that the caudal rami are very tightly attached to each other.
