Recent developments in literature data mining for biology call for the design of a common framework that can be used to assess the performance of the reported systems in a fair and objective way. In this talk, we present an on-going effort to make it possible, in the form of challenges in the extraction of biological pathways and in the ontology construction. We are currently making this effort jointly with Lynette Hirschman (MITRE), Junichi Tsujii (University of Tokyo), Limsoon Wong (KRDL), and Cathy Wu (Georgetown University)

Pseudanthessius spinosus n. sp. is described as an associate of the sea urchin Clypeaster japonicus Doderlein from Cheju Island in Korea. The new species may be easily distinguished from its congeners by having four spines and five setae on the third exopodal segment of leg 4. It is the second known species of the genus from Korean waters.

A new parasmittinid bryozoan, Parasmittina pyriformis, is reported from four localities in Korea. This new species closely resembles Parasmittina trispinosa in having one to three spines and a triangular avicularium lateral to the orifice. However, P. pyriformis is characteristic in that a single or paired small pear-shaped avicularia are situated lateral to the orifice and a triangular avicularium occurs in laterals to the orifice or on the frontal wall. The new species is also unique in having two spines in most zooids, but rarely one or three spines, whereas P. trispinosa usually has three spines, sometimes two or four.

The complete larval development of Pagurus japonicus(Stimpson) is described, based on laboratory rearing. The species has four zoeal stages and a megalopa. The larvae are described and illustrated, and detailed comparisons with other pagurid larvae in the Korean coast are made.

The larval stages of Pilumnopeus granulata and the megalopal stage of Pilumnus minutus are described in detail. Comparisons are made with the known larvae of other species of the pilumnid genera, and the provisional key is provided for the pilumnid zoeae. The brachyuran genera Heteropanope, Heteropilumnus, Actumnus, Pilumonopeus, Pilumnus, Parapilumnus, and Benthopanpe are clearly classified on the basis of the zoeal characteristics, such as the lateral carapace spine, dorsal carapace spine, maxillule, and abominal lateral knobs.

Lynceid conchostracans of the order Laevicaudata in East Asia are reviewed. Validity of the three older species, Lynceus mandsuricus Daday, Lynceus biformis (Ishikawa), and Lynceus dauricus Thiele, is examined and discussed. Two species among them were acknowledged but L. dauricus was synonymized to L. biformis and redescribed and illustrated in the present paper, based on the materials collected from the rice-fields at 15 localities in Korea.

A new species of Korean ophichthid eel, Ophichthus rotundus, is described on the basis of specimens collected from Kyehwado, Chollabuk-do, Korea. 0, rotundus is characterized by small eye, elongated and slender body, short head and trunk, small eye, long tail, low dorsal and anal fins, many vertebrae, and no spotted pattern on body and fins.

Zamolgus cavenularius n. sp. is described from the pennatulacean cnidarian Cavernularia obesa Milne Edwards and Hailme in the Yellow Sea. The new species is readily distinguished from its congeners by the genital doublesomite, mandible, female maxilliped, and other structures. This is the first report on association of a member of Zamolgus with the pennatulacean and the second report on a copepod from the Korean pennatulacean.

A new species, Xysticus jiangi n. sp. is described based on the specimens collected in Hunan province, China. X. jiangi is similar to X. chui, but distinguished by smaller spermathecae, distinct copulatory canals, and Y-shaped median apophysis. In addition, basal apophysis of tegulum is well developed, compared to that of the latter.

A new sponge species of the genus Hymeniacidon (family Halichondriidae) from Munsum, Jeju Island, Korea is described. This species is similar to H. sinapium in spicule size, but the color, oscules, external surface and arrangement of the spicules are considerably different. This species is bright yellow in live, and retains multiple oscules and a plumose bundle of styles in the subectosomal region.
