Abstract
Hubrechtella ijimai is reported for the first time from South Korea (East China Sea) and China (Yellow Sea), about 260 and 930 km from the nearest locality in Japan. Additional morphological data, confocal laser scanning microphotographs, and DNA data (COI sequences) are provided. This species possesses high intraspecific genetic COI p-distances for nemerteans (1.6–6.3%).
