Uropod exopod 2-articulate, 0.9 times as long as endopod; article 1 short, with 1 short simple seta laterally, 2 simple setae laterally, 3 simple and 1 long simple seta terminally.

The most similar species is Dimorphostylis asiatica Zimmer, 1921, which has transverse, a pair of frontal and three pairs of oblique ridges on the carapace. However, the new species is obviously distinguished from D. asiatica by a combination of the following features (D. asiatica condition in parentheses): 1) body surface covered with numerous slender simple setae (vs. without slender simple setae); 2) carapace, posterior oblique ridge running upward to 6/7 point of carapace, connecting with the middle ridge (vs. posterior oblique ridge running upward and turning abruptly forward to merge with dorsal submedian carina); and 3) telson of female with 1 pair of short simple setae centrally, 1 pair of stout simple setae on post-anal section (vs. without a stout simple seta).

The new species name, pilocorpus, is from the combination of the Latin words pilósus, meaning ‘hairy or shaggy’ and corpus, meaning ‘body’, alluding to the body surface covered with numerous slender simple setae.

The new species was collected in Dokdo and Ulleung Islands (East Sea), Korea, which has a sandy substrate.
