﻿AbstractA new monogonont rotifer,Cephalodellabinoculatasp. nov., was described from a soil sample collected in Korea. The new species is morphologically similar toC.carinabut is distinguished by having two frontal eyespots, a vitellarium with eight nuclei, and the shape of its fulcrum. We also described four other cephalodellid species collected in Korea;Cephalodellaauriculata,C.catellina,C.gracilis, andC.tinca. Of these four species,C.gracilisandC.tincawere newly recorded in Korea. We provided the morphological characteristics of the fiveCephalodellaspecies along with photographs of trophi observed with a scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, we provided the mitochondrial cytochromecoxidase subunit I gene sequences of the five species.
