A new species of swimming crab of the genus Catoptrus A. Milne-Edwards, 1870 (Portunidae) is described from Kagoshima, southern Japan. Catoptrus lavicolus n. sp. was collected from deep inside large lava rocks at shallow subtidal bed of Sakurajima, an active volcano. The new species differs from all seven congeners by a combination of the characters of the carapace, chelipeds and ambulatory legs. Intersex specimens of C. lavicolus n. sp. were observed in this study, while no male specimen has been collected.

A species of cyclopoid copepod Anthessius cucullatus Lee and Kim, 2021 (Anthessiidae) is newly recorded based on both sexes collected from three species of the sea slug genus Aplysia Linnaeus, 1767, i.e., Ap. dactylomela Rang, 1828, Ap. juliana Quoy and Gaimard, 1832, and Ap. kurodai Baba, 1937, from coastal waters of Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan. The copepod is characterized by having the following characters in the female: 1) the genital double somite covered with a hood-like dorsal lobe; 2) the antenna with four unequal claws and three setae at the distal tip; 3) the maxilla has a spinulose basal lobe; 4) leg 5 with irregular marginal rows of spinules. Furthermore, the male has 5) the third endopodal segment of leg 4 bearing a curved third inner spine. The findings of An. cucullatus in this study represent the second record of the copepod from all around the world as well as the first record from Japanese waters with the detailed description of the morphological characters based on the specimens. Aplysia dactylomela and Ap. juliana are new host records of the copepod.

We describe Parakonarus kajii sp. nov. from near Iriomote Island, Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan. This is the first record of Parakonarus from the North Pacific. As members in this genus show great sexual dimorphism, we checked our male and female specimens for conspecificity by using partial sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The two individuals differed by two nucleotide substitutions in 661 nt (0.3% K2P distance), indicating they are the same species. This species closely resembles P. kopure reported from New Zealand, but differs in having the ventral process on the chelipedal carpus longer than wide, the inner comb-row on the chelipedal propodus composed of 16 setae, and the dactylus and unguis of pereopods 4–6 fused in the male; and the carpi of pereopods 2 and 3 without a ventrodistal spiniform seta, the propodal palm of the cheliped with two inner simple setae at the insertion of the dactylus, and article 2 of the maxillipedal palp with one mid-outer and one outer distal simple setae in the female. On the inner surface of the chelipeds in male P. kajii, we observed an elongate plate-like structure that could be a reduced ischium.

A copepod, Pseudanthessius chuukensis Uyeno, n. sp. (Cyclopoida: Pseudanthessiidae), is described based on the type specimen obtained from the grouper Epinephelus sp. (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Serranidae) caught in Chuuk Lagoon (North Pacific Ocean), Federated States of Micronesia, North Pacific Ocean. The copepod differs from its congeners in the following female characters: the urosome is 5-segmented; caudal rami are five to six times longer than wide; the distal endopodal segment of leg 1 carries three spines and three setae; leg 4 endopod has two setae, without proximal swellings, and as long as about two-third of that of the exopod. This finding of the copepod is the first record of the family Pseudanthessiidae from the actinopterygian fish.

A rare xanthid crab species Cyrtocarcinus truncatus (Rathbun, 1906) is recorded from Ouvéa, Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, and Ishigaki Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan. This represents the first record of the species from outside Hawaii. Morphological features and its variations are described in detail.

A rare copepod parasitic on marine fish, Luetkenia elongata Shiino, 1963 (Siphonostomatoida: Pandaridae), is redescribed based on type specimens and additional specimens obtained from Luvarus imperialis Rafinesque, 1810 caught in the eastern and western North Pacific Ocean off California and Japan, respectively. This represents the first record of this parasite from Japanese waters. The copepod differs from its sole congener, L. asterodermi Claus, 1864, by following features of the female: fourth pedigerous somite with one pair of elongate posterolateral lobes; genital complex bearing a pair of well-developed posterolateral lobes with one conical protuberance on lateral corner; abdomen clearly longer than wide; and caudal rami more than 2.0 times longer than wide.

A lernaeid copepod, Lamproglena chinensis Yü, 1937, is redescribed based on the newly collected specimens from the snakehead Channa argus (Cantor) (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Channidae) caught in Lake Imuta, Satsumasendai, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, southern Japan and the type specimens of L. ophiocephali Yamaguti, 1939, a junior synonym of L. chinensis, from the Kizu River, Kyoto Prefecture. The adult male was found from Japan for the first time. The collection of the species in this study represents the first record from Kyushu. The previous records of L. chinensis and its related species reported from Asian countries are also reviewed.
