Artotrogus gordoni n. sp. is described as an associate of the bryzoan Schizosmittina cinctipora (Hincks, 1885) collected from an intertidal shore in New Zealand. The new species is similar to A. sardae McKinnon but distinguishable from it by the different shapes of antennule where the first segment is the longest and urosome where the anal somite is distinctly narrower than the genital double somite and posterolateral processes on the genital double somite which is tapered and much more developed than in A. sardae.

Only four copepod species associated with sea stars have beenknown from the north Pacific . The examination of Korean sea stars for copepod associates revealed two species ; Scottomyzson gibberum and a new species belonging to the genus Synstellicola. Both species are (re) described. S. gibberum , A sole member of the genus hitherto known only from the northeastern Atlantic , is recorded in this report to be associated with various sea stars and distributed widely in Korean seas.

New and rare species of copepod parasites of the sufperch Ditrema temmincki Bleeker are reported from Korean seas. Two of them, each belonging to Colobomatus of Poecilostomatoida and Caligus of Siphonostomatoida, are described as new speices. The latter species is very peculilar in bearing the single-segmented exopod ini leg 4. Caligus tanago Yamaguti, an incompletely known species, is also described from the same fish host.

We have conducted faunistic study of sea lice collected from marine plankton samples of western and southern coasts of Korea. These specimens were identified as Caligus undulatus Shen and Li, 1959, belonging to family Caligidae and order Siphonostomatoida with worldwide distribution. The range extension of C. undulatus is reported in addition to the previously known distributional range from the Northwest Pacific (China, Japan, and Korea), India, Brazil, and Mexico. This species can be distinguished from all previous reports with characteristics such as overall body proportions of both sexes, structure details of mouth appendages, armature of legs, and some variation in body size. The distributional range of C. undulatus is now given with its northern and south hemisphere limit being 40 to $10^{\circ}N$ in the Indo-Pacific and $30^{\circ}S$ in the Southwest Atlantic. This is the first record of its female occurring in Korea.

Two species of the parasitic copepods, Nothobomolochus thambus (Poecilostomatoida, Bomolochidae) and Mitrapus heteropodus (Siphonostomatoida, Lernanthropidae), were recovered on the gills of a marine fish, Konosirus punctatus (Temminck and Schlegel) taken from Kamak Bay in Korea. N. thambus is very distinguishable in the armature of maxilliped from all other species of Nothobomolochus; one of the two strong, hairy setae has become naked. M. heteropodus is very distinguishable in the armature of leg 4; the inner process (endopod) is only about one - fifth the length of the outer process (exopod), Both parasitic copepod species are new to the Korean fauna.

Lepeophtheirus tuberculatus, n. sp., is described from the greenlings Hexagrammos otakii and H. agrammus from the Sea of Japan off Mangreung, Korea. This species has been confused with L. scuttger Shiino, 1952 and L. sheni Boxshall and Bellwood, 1981. However, the new species apparently differs from the latter two species.

Parabrachiella bera (Yamaguti, 1939) is redescribed based on newly collected material from multicolorfin rainbowfish, Parajulis poecilopterus, landed at Wando fishery port on the southern coast of Korea. Although some differences were observed between the original description and the specimens examined in this study, these differences do not warrant a change in the taxonomic status of this species. Parabrachiella bera bears some resemblance to Parabrachiella incurva Shiino, 1956, but differs from it in details of the trunk and genital processes.

Two new species of Asterocheridae are described from Korean seas: Acontiophorus pilosus associated with a bryozoan of Celeporina sp. in the Sea of Japan and Asteropontius bifurcatus associated with the antipatharian Antipathes japonicus in Jeju Island in Korea Strait. A key to the species of Acontiophorus is provided.
