Title: Three Species of Marine Harpacticoid Copepods from Amakusa, Kyushu 1 )
Abstract: According to Kikuchi (1968) many benthic harpacticoid copepods were collected from Amakusa, though no suitable study on this group has been so far done in this area and the vicinity. The present paper deals with three species of marine harpacticoid copepods among the samples collected from several different substrata in Amakusa. The species are: Longipedia weberi A. Scott (Longiped iidae), Halectinosoma arenicola (Rouch) (Ectinosomidae) and Paramenophia platy soma (Thompson et A. Scott) (Thalestridae). The former two species are new to Japan, and are fully redescribed. All the materials were collected by the author during his short visit to the Amakusa :Marine Biological Laboratory of Kyushu University, Amakusa in :May 1971. Before going further the author expresses his sincere thanks to Professor :Mayumi Yamada of Hokkaido University for his critical reading the manuscript. Grateful thanks are also due to Professor Taiji Kikuchi of Amakusa :Marine Biological Laboratory, who kindly facilitated the author's staying at Amakusa for this study.
