A new species of the gurnard genus Lepidotrigla is described from the South China Sea off southernmost central Vietnam. Lepidotrigra firmisquamis sp. nov. is most similar to L. alata and L. marisinensis and co-occurs with L. marisinensis in the Bays of Nha Trang and Van Phong, but can be easily distinguished from both species by the well developed preocular spines and postorbital groove and by a slightly lower lateral-line scale count (54–58 instead of 58–64). A comparison with all Lepidotrigla species known from the South China Sea is presented.

A new species, Michaelcallianassa sinica, from the Beibu Gulf (Tonkin Gulf), northern South China Sea, is described and illustrated. The new species is readily distinguished from M. indica Sakai, 2002, the type species of the genus, by its short uropodal endopod and exopod, and elongated carpus of the minor cheliped.

A new fish species from the South China Sea, Pegasus nanhaiensis sp. nov., is described herein. The new species is readily distinguished from all other species of the genus Pegasus with the following characteristics: A rounded hump-like tubercle on each of dorsal plates I, II, and III. Noticeable hexagonal patterns on the dorsal carapace with a clear boundary, and two paired caudolateral plates overlapping the junctions between tail rings II and III, and between tail rings IV and V. The integrated evidence from both morphological and genetic studies indicates that P. nanhaiensis represents an independent lineage within the genus Pegasus.
