  • The complete postembryonic development of nauplius stages of Paramphiascella vararensis T. Scotf (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) is described and illustrated based on specimens cultured in laboratory. The nauplii of P. vararensis feed on powder of a green algae, Ulva perusa. This species is metamorphosed to the stages of nauplius. Development from the nauplius stage to the nauplius stage take about 12 days under culture conditions of 33-34 ppt of salinity, 22-23$^{\circ}$C of temperature and feed on the algal powder. In the nauplius stages of P. vararensis, the rudiment of maxillule appeares at the third nauplius stage, and maxilla appeares at the fifth nauplius stage.

  • The complete postembryonic developments of copepodid stages of Paramphiascella vararensis T. Scott(Copepoda: Harpacticoida) are described and illustrated based on specimens cultured in laboratory. The copepodites of P. vararensis feed on powder of one of green macro-algae species Ulva pertusa. Developmental time from copepodid stage to adult (copepodid stage) is about 15 days with culture conditions of 33-34 ppt of salinity, 22-23$^{\circ}$C of temperature and feed on algae powder. Sexual characters of the species are distinct on the copepodid stage. Sexual characters appear in size, antennule, pereiopods of second and bases of the fifth and sixth legs. Males are considerably smaller than females in size. In the antennule, the fourth segment of the male extremely is modified and swollen for female. In the segment number of the endopod of second pereiopod, female has 3 segments while male bears 2 segments. The female has 3 setae while the male bears 2 setae on the inner lobe of basis of fifth leg. In the basis of sixth leg, the female has 2 setae while the male has 3 setae.

  • During a study of harpacticoid copepods from Korea, one species of the family Orthopsyllidae was found by rinsing macroalgae collected from the intertidal and subtidal zones at Hangaechang, Munseum Islet in Jeju Island of Korea. The Orthopsyllus is closely related to Orthopsyllus linearis curvaspinata Mielke, 1993, however it is distinguished from the original description by the combined characters of slightly slender caudal seta V in the female, relatively short and ovoid caudal ramus, the seta formula of P3, and the length of P2 and P4 endopod in the male. Since Orthopsyllus linearis (Claus, 1866) is notorious for its incomplete previous descriptions and therefore its polymorphic status, it is premature to fix the status of present Orthopsyllus species from Korea, without the detailed comparative study among the congeners. However due to the urgent need for the report of the genus in the region, we report this species as Orthopsyllus linearis (Claus, 1866) like but different one within the genus: Orthopsyllus cf. linearis (Claus,1866). This is the first report of the genus Orthopsyllus for the first time in Korea.
