Two new species of siphonostomatoid copepods, Asterocheres tubiporae n. sp. and Entomopsyllus stocki n. sp., associated with the stoloniferan coral Tubipora musica (Linnaeus) are described from Madagascar. Asterocheres tubiporae is characterized by the possession of a large posteroventral process on the caudal ramus and the elongated free segment of leg 5. Entomopsyllus stocki is readily distinguished from its congeners by the possession in the female of 15-segmented antennule and three spines plus two setae on the third exopodal segment of leg 4.

Six new species of siphonostomatoid copepods are described from sponges collected in the Philippines and Vietnam. Two new genera of Asterocheridae, Andapontius and Holobinus, are proposed. The new species are Andapontius granulatus n. gen. n. sp., Holobinus angustus n. gen. n. sp. and Dermatomyzon boxshalli n. sp. in the family Asterocheridae and Entomopsyllus brevicaudatus n. sp., Paralepeopsyllus leei n. sp. and P. dambayensis n. sp. in the family Entomolepididae. Doropontius denticornis Thompson and Scott, 1903, is redescribed for the first time since its original record.
