The genus Paracanthonchus belongs to the subfamily Paracanthon chinae De Coninck, 1965 of the family Cyatholaimidae Filipjev, 1918 was established by Micoletzky (1924) from the genus Cyatholaimus Bastian, 1865 on the basis of the type species, P. caecus (Bastian, 1865), collected from brackish pool near the Belgian coast. Paracanthonchus differs from other genera of the family by its body cuti cle with transverse rows of fine dots, buccal cavity with larger dorsal tooth, distally expanded and dentate guber naculums, and tubular precloacal supplements (Wieser, 1954; SchmidtRhaesa, 2014).

According to the most current review (Cho et al., 2011), the national inventory of Korea totals 36,921 species, consisting of 5,230 vas cular plants and bryophytes, 4,587 algae, 4,085 fungi and lichens, 1,374 protists, 647 prokaryotes, 1,841 ver tebrates, 13,384 insects, and 5,773 invertebrates other than insects. Copepods are relatively well studied here, both as freeliving forms in marine (Soh, 2010; Lee et al., 2012) and freshwater environments (Chang, 2009; 2010), as well as parasites of other organisms (Kim, 2008). However, surveys of marginal and previously understudied habitats (Karanovic et al., 2012a; 2012b; Karanovic, 2014) or utilization of novel taxonomic methods, such as studies of microstructures (Karanovic and Cho, 2012; Karanovic and Lee, 2012; Karanovic et al., 2013) and DNA (Karanovic and Kim, 2014a; Kim et al., 2014; Karanovic et al., 2014; 2015), have resulted in numerous recent additions to the Korean copepod fauna. While most of the recent additions are endemic elements (see also Chang and Lee, 2012; Kim et al., 2014) some are actually elements of neighbouring faunas that were previously unknown here (Kim et al., 2011; Park and Lee, 2011; Nam and Lee, 2012; Park et al., 2012). Two copepod species that we report in this paper belong to the latter group. They were both collected in very small numbers and in a single location each, so their optimal ecological niche and/or season in Korea remain to be determined.

About 2,500 species of feather mites have been recorded from all recent orders of Aves (Gaud and Atyeo, 1996; Proctor, 2003; Mironov and Proctor, 2008).

Besides, the sea bottom of Seogwipo waters is composed of welldeveloped rocky zones from intertidal to subtidal zone, which provide the best sub stratum for bryozoans. The substrata are the most im portant environmental factor controlling the distribution of bryozoans (Thomsen, 1977; Cook, 1981). The rocky zone of providing suitable habitat for bryozoans is one of the reasons why many species are consistently report ed from Seogwipo waters.
