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.

The Entomobryidae comprising one new record from Korea, six new species (4 Entomobrya, 2 Homidia) and a cave form of Sinella genus have been studied. One of the Entomobrya comes from cone pines, hence considered an arboreal species. The present study brings Korean faunal list of Entomobryidae to 23 species in 3 genera, of which 16 are endemic to the country.

Two new marine sponges in the family Chalinidae, Haliclona (Haliclona) uljinensis n. sp. and Haliclona (Reniera) hongdoensis n. sp., are collected from Uljin and Hongdo Island, Korea during 2004-2007. H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (H.) oculata in type of spicules. However, ectosomal skeleton of H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is reticulated and isodictyal reticulated type but H. (H.) oculata has not any dermal specialization in skeleton. The growth form of H. (H.) uljinensis n. sp. is thin encrusting with numerous cylindrical tubes on the surface but H. (H.) oculata is solid branch form. Haliclona (R.) hongdoensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (R.) aquaeductus in skeletal structure and growth form. However, oxeas of H. (R.) hongdoensis n. sp. are larger than H. (R.) aquaeductus's.

Seven new species of genus Dysidea (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida: Dysideidae) are described from Jejudo Island and Geomundo Island, Korea. These new species are compared with other reported species in fibre structure and arrangement, and cored detritus. Dysidea reticulum n. sp. is similar to D. glavea in skeletal structure but differ in sponge shape. Dysidea simplex n. sp. is close to D. glavea with loosely arranged skeletal structure but fibres in this new species are not cored with large sands. Dysidea pyeongdaensis n. sp. is characterized by tube-like surface oscules open toward the sandy bottom. Dysidea capillus n. sp. is similar to D. dokdoensis in skeletal structure, but differs in long surface conules. Dysidea mukriensis n. sp. is close to D. corallina in distinct dense surface conules, but differs in sponge shape and skeletal structure. Dysidea membrana n. sp. is similar to D. sabulum in primary fibres cored with numerous large sands, but differs in sponge surface conules and secondary fibres. Dysidea chujaensis n. sp. is unique in the sponge shape and skeletal structure.

Five new species of copepods associated with marine invertebrates are described from shallow water of the Pacific coast of Panama. They are Pseudomacrochiron pocilloporae n. sp., Acontiophorus panamensis n. sp. and Asterocheres urabensis n. sp. associated with the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus), Asterocheres pilosus n. sp. associated with the echinoid Eucidaris thouarsii (Valenciennes), and Asterocheres walteri n. sp. associated with the sea star Oreaster brevispinis.

The aim of this work was to investigate the N-terminal amino acid sequence of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase isolated from Delftia sp. JK-2, which could utilize aniline as sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to approximately 35 kDa by SDS-PAGE. N-terminal amino acid sequence of C2,3O from strain JK-2 was $^1MGVMRIGHASLKVMDMDAAVRHYENV^{26}$, and exhibited high sequence similarity with that of C2,3O from Pseudomonas sp., Comamonas sp. JS765, Comamonas test-osteroni, or Burkholderia sp. RP007. Approximately 950-bp C2,3O was obtained through PCR using the primers derived from N-terminal amino acid sequence. Analysis of the DNA sequence revealed that the deduced 296 amino acid sequences were determined, and it showed $100\%$ identity with C2,3O from Pseudomonas sp. AW-2 and $97\%$ similarity with Comamonas sp. JS765.

Two new sponges, Euryspongia coreana n, sp, and E. regularis n, sp., collected from Hataedo, Ulleungdo and Chujado, Korea by SCUBA diving during the period from 2001 to 2005. Euryspongia coreana n. sp, is very close to E. lactea Row, 1911 and E. arenaria Bergquist, 1961 in skeletal structure, but primary and secondary fibres of the new species are thicker than those of E. lactea, E. arenaria is cored with mostly spicule fragments but E. coreana n. sp. is cored with mainly sand. E. regularis n. sp. is readily distinguished from other eurypsongian sponges. by its thickly encrusting growth form, yellowish ivory colour, and thickness of fibres. The bright yellow color and regular ladder-like skeletal structure are major features distinguishing this E. regularis n. sp. from other euryspongian sponges. Most species are brown, violet, red or orange in color except for E. lactea (milky white), E. arenaria (biscuit) and E. coreana n. sp. (yellowish ivory). Other euryspongian sponges have regularly or irregularly well developed secondary fibres, but E. regularis n. sp. has simple and regular secondary fibres.

This paper describes eight new species of the genus Coscinoderma from Chuuk Island, the Federated States of Micronesia. This genus is characterized by very fine, meandering uncored secondary fibres. All the new Coscinoderma species are compared with eight other valid species from tropical regions. Coscinoderma folium n. sp. is characterized by its large thickly foliate shape, and cored primary fibres are easily found between secondary fibres in choanosome. Coscinoderma lacium n. sp. differs in having round conules and no cored primary fibres. Coscinoderma cavernosa n. sp. is distinguished from other species by its cavernous shape and long sharp conules. Coscinoderma wenoa n. sp. is characterized by long conules and primary fibres. Coscinoderma mappula n. sp. differs in having a thick sand crust in the choanosome. Coscinoderma bakusi n. sp. is characterized by having several oscules at the top of the sponge and color changed grey to dark brown in alcohol. Coscinoderma pollax n. sp. is characterized by having a small thumb shape. Coscinoderma truki n. sp. similar to C. pollax in shape but differs in cored primary fibres with many spicules.

Two new marine tardigrade species, Batillipes longispinosus n. sp. and B. orientalis n. sp. are described on the basis of the specimens collected from the intertidal or shallow sublittoral sands of South Korea. Both the present species are characteristic in the absence of any caudal appendage throughout their life span, and bearing the long clava or cephalic appendages with the long spinous process on the femur of legs IV. B. longispinosus n. sp. most resembles B. tuvernatis Pollock, but is easily distinguished from it by the flattened caudal region and prominently developed spine of legs IV. B. orientalis n. sp. is much related to B. roscoffensis Kristensen, in having the wing-formed lateral body prohection between legs III and legs IV, the papillae on the head region, and the smooth caudal region, but discernible from it in the general body shape and the relatively longer spine of legs IV.
