Abstract

Four new species of the genus Panjakus (Copepoda, Cyclopoida, Anchimolgiae) are described as associates of scleractinian corals from the eastern Ceram, the Moluccas: P fastigatus and P. parvipes from Hydnophora microconos (Lamarck), and P. saccipes and P. iratus from Platygyra ryukyuensis Yabe and Sugiyama. A key to 11 known species of Panjakus is provided.
