Two new species of free-living marine nematodes, Daptonema longiapophysis sp. nov. and Cobbia sinica sp. nov. from the Yellow Sea, China are described and illustrated. Daptonema longiapophysis sp. nov. is characterized by spicules with a projection on the ventral and dorsal side respectively and the length of the gubernacular apophysis longer than the length of spicules. Cobbia sinica sp. nov. is characterized by one big dorsal tooth, long conico-cylindrical tail and gubernaculum with a small dorsal apophysis.

Genus Onyx Cobb, 1891 has been reviewed and 19 valid species including two new species have been reported in the world. Two new species, Onyx rizhaoensis sp. nov. and Onyx minor sp. nov. from the Yellow Sea coast are described and illustrated. In addition to the genus characters Onyx rizhaoensis sp. nov. has relatively long cephalic setae; a single loop-shaped amphidial fovea; 12 S-shaped tubular precloacal supplements in 10 + 2 arrangement, posterior 10 closely spaced, anterior two set apart; female vulva situated at almost midpoint of the body. Onyx minor sp. nov. is characterized by a relatively small body for the genus (body length usually shorter than 800 μm); gubernaculum slender parallel to spicules and with a hooked dorsal apophysis; 12 S-shaped tubular precloacal supplements fairly evenly spaced; female vulva situated at about midbody. At the same time, a dichotomous key for Onyx males is proposed.

Two new species in the genus Nannopus Brady, 1880 (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from intertidal mudflats of the Yellow Sea along the Korean peninsula, Nannopus cylindricus sp. nov. and N. robustus sp. nov., are described. Nannopus cylindricus belongs to the group of Nannopus species with seven elements on P4 exp-3. Within this group, it is closest to a cryptic species complex related to N. ganghwaensis Vakati, Kihara & Lee, 2016 based on an inflated caudal seta IV. However, N. cylindricus differs from the other species in this complex with respect to caudal seta V (inflated and heavily cylindrical at its base in N. cylindricus, inflated only in the N. ganghwaensis cryptic complex). Nannopus robustus belongs to the group of species displaying two setae on P2 enp-2. Within this group, N. robustus is closely related to N. serratus Vakati & Lee, 2017 based on the presence of one endopodal naked seta arising from a stem-like protrusion on the mandibular palp. However, N. robustus can be distinguished from N. serratus based on the following characters: outermost distal spine on P2 exp-3 (extremely strong, smooth and recurved in N. robustus, moderately strong, denticulate and normal-shaped in N. serratus, and spine 1.6 times as long in N. robustus as in N. serratus), P2 exp-2 inner seta (absent in N. robustus, present in N. serratus), shape of caudal seta V (anterior part distinctly cylindrical in N. robustus, normal-shaped in N. serratus), and ornamentation of caudal seta VI (naked in N. robustus, pinnate in N. serratus). An updated key to the 17 valid species of Nannopus is provided.

Two new species of free-living marine nematodes of the genus Elzalia, Elzalia gerlachi sp. nov. and Elzalia striatitenuis sp. nov. from the Yellow Sea, China, are described and illustrated. Elzalia gerlachi sp. nov. is characterized by relatively large body length (1540–1740 μm in males; 1510–1780 μm in females), spicules 135–160 μm (3.33–3.90 anal body diameter) and complex gubernaculum. Elzalia striatitenuis sp. nov. is characterized by rather small body size (560–660 μm in males; 570–630 μm in females), short cephalic setae 2.5 μm long (21.4–31.3% of head diameter), spicules 65–85 μm (4.06–4.67 anal body diameter) and relatively simple gubernaculum. The two new species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by length and structure of spicules and gubernaculum. Pictorial and tabular keys to the genus are given.
