Early zoeal stages of two snapping shrimps Alpheus digitalis De Haan, 1850 and Alpheus japonicus Miers, 1879 are described and illustrated in detail for the first time based on the laboratory-reared materials. The first zoeas of Alpheus are more related to those of Vexillipar than to Athanas, Automate, and Synalpheus by having rostrum absent, the tip of the endopod of the antenna with a long plumose seta as well as a spine, the endopod of the maxilla with a basal and two terminal setae, the exopod of the maxilla shorter than the endopod, and the endopod of the second maxilliped with a seta on the proximal segment. A list of larval descriptions and described stages of the Alpheidae reported from Indo-West Pacific waters are included.

The continuous taxonomic study on decapods from Korean waters revealed that the alpheid shrimps collected from Jejudo Island and Busan were identified as a species belonging to the genus Arete which is an unreported genus from Korean waters. The genus Arete can be distinguished from the most similar genus Athanas by the following. The chelae are broad and oval-shaped in Arete, but in Athanas, the chelae are more or less elongated. The number of carpal segments in the 2nd pereopod is four but five, exceptionally four or six in Athanas. The epipods are present on pereopod 1 and pereopod 2 in Arete, but on pereopod 1-3, exceptionally on pereopod 1 and pereopod 2 or pereopod 1-4 in Athanas. In this paper, Arete dorsalis is reported for the first time from Korean waters. Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of 27 species of nine genera.

The genus Athanas is a member of alpheid shrimps living in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. Species of the genus Athanas are small and inhabit coral reefs, rock or muddy bottoms. As a result of continuous taxonomic research on shrimps collected from Korean waters, Athanas parvus is newly added to Korean fauna through the description of adult form. Athanas parvus is distinguished from A. japonicus by the biunguiculated dactyli of third, fourth and fifth pereopods and spines on ischium of first pereopod. The Korean Alpheidae fauna now consists of nine genera and 27 species including two species of the genus Athanas.

An alpheid shrimp, Alpheus pacificus Dana, 1852, is recorded from Korea for the first time based on the specimens collected from the intertidal zone in Jeju-do, Korea. A. pacificus is readily distinguished from A. malabaricus by having the inferior shoulder on the lateral face of the major chela with a very deep, rounded notch, and by the simple, non-spatulate dactylus of the third pereopod. The Korean Alpheidae now includes 19 species representing 7 genera.
