Abstract

Nine new lichomolgid copepods, including two new genera, Ecphysarion and Unicispina, are described, all associated with various species of the scleractinian genus Acropora in New Caledonia, at Ceram and Obi in the Moluccas, and at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands: Schedomolgus idanus, S. majusculus, S. insignellus, S. exiliculus, Scyphuliger eumorphus, S. aristoides, Ecphysarion ampullulum, E. spinulatum, and Unicispina latigenitalis. New records are given for Ecphysarion lobophomm (Humes & Ho, 1968), comb. nov., Scyphuliger concavipes Humes, 1991, S. manifestus Humes, 1991, and S. tenuatus (Humes, 1990).
