These are designated as four genera, Oxynaspis Darwin, 1852, Archoxynaspis gen. nov., Pycnaspis gen. nov. and Minyaspis gen. nov. Five new species from Astrolabe Reef in Fiji {Oxynaspis perekrestenkoi sp. nov., O. joankovanae sp. nov., Minyaspis amylaneae sp. nov., M. opreskoi sp. nov. and M. welchi sp. nov.) and one from Palau {Oxynaspis joandianae sp. nov.) are described. A morphological character dataset and resulting phylogeny supporting the new generic divisions is presented. All but two of the 24 species previously known and all six of the newly described species are intimately associated with antipatharians. Pycnaspis connectens was described by Broch (1931) as "fixed to a silicious sponge." A list of species' ranges and their known hosts is presented. The earliest known possible antipatharian in the fossil record is Miocene, much later than the Eocene appearance of Archoxynaspis eocenica (Withers, 1935). Therefore, the symbiosis of oxynaspidids with antipatharians may have evolved only since the Miocene. However, given the dubious fossil record of antipatharians (known only from a single specimen of uncertain affinity from Miocene Italy) the time of the first antipatharian/oxynaspidid symbiosis is uncertain.

    Parasitic copepods of the family Taeniacanthidae (Crustacea) from triggerfishes (Teleostei, Balistidae) and filefishes (Teleostei, Monacanthidae) collected in the Indo-West Pacific region, with descriptions of two new species of Taeniacanthus Sumpf, 1871

Taeniacanthus brayae n. sp. and T. mcgroutheri n. sp. are distinguished from their congeners by the presence of an elongate terminal endopodal segment of the antenna, a spinulated terminal process and one seta on the maxillary basis, six elements on the terminal exopodal segment of legs 2-A and an armature of II, I, 2 and II, 1,1 onthe terminal endopodal segments of legs 2 and 3, respectively. Taeniacanthus brayae n. sp. can be readily distinguished from T. mcgroutheri n. sp. by having one row (rather than multiple rows) of spinules on the large pectinate process of the antenna, four setae (rather than three) on the maxillule and a 3-segmented (rather than 2-segmented) endopod on legs 2-4. New host and/or locality records for the taeniacanthids Cirracanthus mo-nacanthi (Yamaguti, 1939), C. spinosus Dojiri & Cressey, 1987, Nudisodalis acicula Dojiri & Cressey, 1987 and Taeniacanthus aluteri (Avdeev, 1977) parasitic on triggerfishes and filefishes, as well as supplementary morphological information for the females and the first descriptions of the males of C. monacanthi, C. spinosus and N. acicula, are also included.

Prodorylaimus filamentus sp. n. is morphologically close to P. longicaudatoides Altherr, 1968 and P. kralli Tsalolikhin, 1975. The new species can be separated from P. longicaudatoides by the longer body (L = 4.89-6.06 mm versus L - 2.0-3.5 mm), relatively longer tail (c'= 18.4-25.0 versus c'= 14-18), longer odontostyle (60-65 um long versus 32-37 um long), presence of double and wide guiding ring and longer spicules (89-90 um long versus 70-78 urn long). It can also be separated from P. kralli by the longer tail (c = 4.3-6.0, c' = 18.4-25.0 versus c = 7.0-8.0, c'= 11-16), lower "vulva-anus to tail length" ratio (1.6-2.2 versus 2.5-3.0), shorter odontostyle (60-65 um long versus 75-80um long). Eutobrilus longicaudatoides sp. n. is closely related to E. anguiculus Tsalolikhin, 1977, but is clearly distinct in the shorter outer labial setae (9-10 um long or 45-52% of the labial region diameter versus 15-20 um long or 50-60 % of the labial region diameter), longer tail (males, c = 5.3-5.5, c' = 11.4-11.8, females, c = 4.5-6.3, c'= 15.1-16.7, versus males, c = 7.4-10.4, c' = 8-9, females, c = 5.0-7.7, c' = 10-12), smaller number of supplements (5 versus 6) and shorter spicules (47-53 umlong versus 66-68 um long).
