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.

Five Nannopus Brady, 1880 species that are new to science are described from the intertidal mudflats of the Korean West Coast, Yellow Sea (South Korea). Nannopus minutus sp. nov. and N. dimorphicus sp. nov. belong to a group of species defined by seven elements on P4 exp-3, and these two species are unique by the pinnate caudal seta III. These species differ in the number of dorsal integumental windows on the cephalothorax (three in N. minutus, one in N. dimorphicus), shape of the distal small seta on the P4 endopod (naked in N. minutus, pinnate in N. dimorphicus), shape of the caudal seta IV (inflated and leaf-shaped in N. minutus, with a globular expansion at its insertion and slender in N. dimorphicus), and shape of the caudal seta V (anterior part cylindrical in N. minutus, inflated and bulbous in N. dimorphicus). The males of N. minutus and N. dimorphicus differ in the number of dorsal integumental windows on the cephalothorax (without any in N. minutus, with one integumental window in N. dimorphicus), number of outer spines on P2–P3 exp-3 (three in N. minutus, four in N. dimorphicus), shape of the inner seta on P3 enp-2 (naked in N. minutus, pinnate in N. dimorphicus), and shape of the outer medial and outermost setae on the P5 endopod (pinnate in N. minutus, naked in N. dimorphicus). Nannopus serratus sp. nov. and N. unisegmentatus Shen & Tai, 1964 share the presence of two setae on P2 enp-2 but differ in ornamentation and position of the setae on the mandibular palp, shape of the inner seta on P3 enp-2, and shape of distal seta on P4 enp-2. Nannopus parvus sp. nov. and N. bulbiseta sp. nov. belong to the group of species with the female P5 exopod fused, but these two species can be separated from the others by the presence of two bulbiform pinnate setae on the second segment of the antennule, as well as by the relative length and shape of the inner subdistal pectinate seta of P4 exp-3 (pectinate and 0.5 to 0.7 times as long as those in other congeners), and the shape of outer medial and outermost setae on the P5 endopod (naked only in female). However, they both display unique characters among all congeners. The caudal ramus of N. parvus is trapezoidal or square-shaped, and 0.4 to 0.5 times as long as those in other congeners, and the caudal seta V is very short and spine-like. Nannopus bulbiseta has four and five setae on P2 and P4 exp-3 respectively, the caudal ramus is sub-cylindrical or sub-rectangular, and the proximal part of the female caudal seta V is bulbous and very slender distally. A key to 14 valid species of Nannopus is provided.

Amphidial Fovea

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.

The family Enchelidiidae is recovered as monophyletic and appears to be a more recently derived taxon within the superfamily Oncholaimoidea. It combines nematodes with buccal cavity with three unequal teeth, crenate pharynx, and absence of demanian system. Genus Thoonchus was erected for nematodes characterized by the large buccal cavity with heavily cuticularized walls and several rows of denticles, short and arcuate spicules and gubernaculums with expanded corpus. One new species is described here from the Sishili Bay, located in the northern Yellow Sea. Thoonchus covidus sp. nov. is characterized by the body length 3195‒4339 µm, outer labial and cephalic setae in one circle, pocket shaped amphid above the buccal cavity base, secretory-excretory pore at the base of cephalic setae, arched spicules, gubernaculum with thin proximal extension parallel to spicules, preanal supplement absent, three pairs of preanal papillae. It differs from other congeners by the position of secretory-excretory pore, absence of supplementary organ in males and presence of three pairs of precloacal papillae. Redescription of T. giganticus is also provided. After critical evaluation of the genus we recognize 4 valid species and provide a taxonomic key to species.

Two New Species

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.
