Terebelliphilus simplex n. gen., n. sp. and Myxomolgus invulgus n. sp. are described from the tubicolous polychaetes found in the intertidal shores in the Yellow Sea. The new genus Terebelliphilus belongs to the family Sabelliphilidae but is characteristic in bearing the reduced segmentations In legs 1-4, an unusual sexual dimorphism in antennule, and the ventral location of genital areas. Myxomolgus invulgus is readily distinguishable from its congeners by the morphological features of rostrum, antennule, mandible, maxilla, leg 4 and female leg 5.

A new species of the genus Herrmannella is described under the name of H. hoonsooi from the bivalve host, Saxidomus purpuratus. This species is characteristic in that the cephalothorax is spatulate, and the prosome and some parts of body have a hyaline material. A key to six Far Eastern species of the genus is provided.

A new species of Copepoda, Modiolicola avdeevi (Poecilostomatoida, Sabelliphilidae) associated with the bivalve Modiolus difficilis Kuroda and Habe in the Sea of Japan, is described . Although resembling close to Modiolicola bifidus Tanaka, 1961 in the body form, the new species is distinguished from M.bifidus by the more slender antenna, stouter caudal rami and more slender leg 5.

Two species of the poecilostome copepod were recovered in the mantle cavity of the blue mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis taken from the Yongsan River estuary, Korea. Both species, Pseudomyicola spinosus (Myicolidae) and Modiolicola bifidus (Sabelliphilidae), are new to the Korea fauna.

Six new species of copepods associated with polychaetes are described from Korea. Included are Indoclausia bipartita n. sp., Clausia parva n. sp., and Maxilliclausia propria n. gen. n. sp. in the Clausiidae; Pseudanthessius excertus n. sp. in the Pseudanthessiidae; and Polyankylis ovilaxa n. sp. and Sewelloya plana n. gen. n. sp. in the Polyankyliidae. The new genus Maxilliclausia has a peculiar maxilla in which the distal segment forms a sucking disk, a non-prehensile antenna, vestigial legs 3 and 5, and lacks a maxilliped and leg 4. The two new species of the Polyankyllidae are discovered as external associates of terebellid polychaetes. The new genus Sewelloya has a simple female maxilliped bearing only two small setae on its terminal segment, an uniramous leg 4 bearing 1-segmented exopod, and a reduced leg 5 represented by three setae. The genera Terebelliphilus Kim, 2001 which was originally placed in the Sabelliphilidae, and Octophiophora Stock, 1988 and Stockia Sebastian and Pillai, 1974, both of the latters with uncertain familial positions, are transferred to the Polyankyliidae. A key to five genera of the Polyankyliidae are provided.

Twelve species of cyclopoid copepods, including two new genera and ten new species, associated with polychaetes are described from Korea. The new taxa comprise Petalocopus planus n. gen. n. sp. in the Clausidiidae, Rhodinicola exilis n. sp. in the Clausiidae, Gastrodelphys vadicola n. sp. in the Gastrodelphyidae, Polyankylis estivalis n. sp. in the Polyankyliidae, Pentakela cylindrica n. gen. n. sp., Pseudanthessius oporinus n. sp. and P. petilus n. sp. in the Pseudanthessiidae, and Myxomolgus buanensis n. sp., M. dokdoicus n. sp. and Serpuliphilus antennatus n. sp. in the Sabelliphilidae. As characteristic features of the new genera, Petalocopus n. gen. has a pair of pedunculate suckers on the terminal segment of the antenna and an enlarged posterodistal seta on the second segment of antennule, and Pentakela n. gen. has five strong hooks on distal segments of antenna, three-segmented exopod and two-segmented endopod in legs 1 and 2, and one-segmented exopod and a lobate, rudimentary endopod in legs 3 and 4. The male of Maxilliclausia propria Kim, 2014 of the Clausiidae is recorded for the first time. Nereicola ovata Keferstein, 1863 known previously only in European waters is redescribed based on a newly collected female specimen from Korea.
