Abstract:
The present paper deals with description of three new marine gastrotrich species belonging to the genus Tetranchyroderma with a new record for Korea of T schizocirratum Chang, Kubota & Shirayama, 2002, on the basis of specimens from the Korean coast. Tetranchyroderma anisoankyrum sp. nov. is differentiated from congeners by its dorsal cuticular armature of pentancres with central tine longer than the others, a pair of rod-like cephalic tentacles, 2 cirratum-type TbDL, 13-14 cirratum-type TbL per side, and a pair of TbL. Tetranchyroderma coreense sp. nov. is distinguished from other pentancrous species by cirratum-type tubes of 2 TbDL, one TbL, 3-4 TbVL, paired foot-type TbV, and absence of cephalic tentacles. Tetranchyroderma oblongum sp. nov. is characterized by the character combination of cuticular armature of tetrancres, 7 dorsolateral and 7-9 lateral cirratum-type tubes, and 33-38 TbVL along whole body. This brings the total number of species in the genus Tetranchyroderma known from South Korea to 12.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
