The crinoids collected at the subtidal zone in Geomundo Island were identified. Four species belonging to the family Comasteridae, order Comantulida turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. They are Comantheria intermedia, Comanthus japonicus, C. solaster and C. parvicirrus which are redescribed on the morphological characteristic with illustrations. The class Crinoidea is new to Korean fauna.

A taxonomic study of the family Antedonidae is presented. The specimens were collected in the coastal seas of Korea from 1970 to 1994 and deposited in the Natural History Museum of Ewha Womans University. Four species, Heliometra glacialis maxima, Antedon serrata, Antedon parviflora and Andrometra psyche of the subfamilies Heliometrinae and Antedoninae were identified, of which 3 species, Antedon serrata, Antedon parviflora and Andrometra psyche in the subfamily Antedoninae are new to Korea. The subfamily Antedoninae is reported for the first time in Korea.

Taxonomic study for the comantulid crinoids collected from Korea Strait was conducted. A oligophreatan species, Parametra orion (A. H. Clark, 1907) belonging to the family Thalassometridae, was identified and turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. The family Thalassometridae is newly reported in Korea.

Some crinoids collected by scuba divers from Jeju Island, Geomundo Island and Yokjido Island were identified. Of which two species, Oligometra chinensis A. H. Clark, 1918 belonging to the family Colobometridae and Neometra multicolor (A. H. Clark, 1907) belonging to the family Calometridae, order Comantulida, turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. The Calometridae was reported in Korea for the first time.

Taxonomic study for the comatulid crinoids collected from the Korea Strait and Jeju Island was conducted. Two species of comatulids, Captoptometra rubroflava belongs to the family Zygometridae and Gephyrometra versicolor belongs to the family Calometridae, were identified and both of them were turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. The family Zygometridae is newly reported in Korea.

Taxonomic study for some comatulid crinoids collected by a fishing net from about 170 m deep in front of Jukbyeon, East Sea in Korean water was conducted. A macrophreatan species, Boleometra clio (A. H. Clark, 1907) belonging to the subfamily Bathymetrinae and the family Antedonidae, was identified and turned out to be new to the Korean fauna. The family Antedonidae comprised five species in Korea.

Three new species of Collocheres are described as associates of crinoid and ophiuroid echinoderms from Cheju Island, Korea: Collocheres brevipes n. sp. from the crinoids Comanthus solaster A. H. Clark and Decametra tigrina (A. H. Clark); C. solidus n. sp. from two species of the crinoids Comanthus solaster and Comanthus japonicus (Muller) and one species of ophiuroid-Ophiomastax mixta (Lutken); and C. tamladus n. sp. from the crinoid Catoptometra rubroflava (A. H. Clack). The three species are distinguished from one another and other congeners by the body size, dimension of caudal ramus and free segment of leg 5, and shape and ornamentation of urosome.

The crinoid specimens of the genus Anneissia were collected from Nokdong, Korea Strait, and Moseulpo, Jeju Island. The specimens were identified as Anneissia pinguis (A.H. Clark, 1909), which belongs to the family Comatulidae of the order Comatulida. Anneissia pinguis was first described by A.H. Clark in 1909 around southern Japan. This species can be distinguished from other Anneissia species by a longish and stout cirrus, much fewer arms, and short distal cirrus segments. The morphological features of Korean specimens are as follows: large disk (20-35 mm), 28-36 segments and 32-43 mm length cirrus, division series in all 4 (3+4), very stout and strong distal pinnule with 18-19 comb and 40 arms. In Korea fauna, only three species of genus Anneissia were recorded: A. intermedia, A. japonica, and A. solaster. In this study, we provide the morphological description and phylogenetic analysis based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I.
