The primarily marine subtidal family   Laophontidae   not only contains more valid genera than any other family in the   Harpacticoida  , it is also one of the most speciose ones in the order, currently accommodating 327 species and subspecies. Based on published records, 25 laophontid species in 12 genera have so far been reported from Korean waters. Here both sexes of a new genus and species of   Laophontidae   are described, collected from shell gravel off Dokdo Island in the East Sea.    Philippiphonte   aspidosoma    gen. et sp. n.  displays a radically divergent morphology, including an extreme dorsoventrally depressed body shape which is reminiscent of members of the family   Porcellidiidae  . The convergent evolution of dorsoventrally flattened body plans in the   Harpacticoida   is briefly discussed.The distribution and habitat preference of laophontid species recorded from the Korean peninsula are summarised. The authenticity of the Korean record of    Folioquinpes   mangalis    Fiers &amp; Rutledge, 1990 from washings of invertebrates and intertidal stones from Jeju Island is reassessed in the light of a discussion of the genus.    Folioquinpes   pseudomangalis    sp. n.  and    F.   indicus    sp. n.  are proposed as new species for    Folioquinpes   mangalis    Fiers &amp; Rutledge, 1990  sensu  Kim (2013)  and    Laophonte   chathamensis    Sars, 1905  sensu  Sewell (1924) , respectively. A key to species of    Folioquinpes    Fiers &amp; Rutledge, 1990 is provided.
