A new species of the ampharetid genus Amphicteis, A. hwanghaiensissp. nov., is described based on material from the Yellow Sea. The new species is characterized by the possession of long, stout, golden paleae with blunt tips, digitiform rudimentary notopodia on the abdominal uncinigers, uncini with a subrostral process, and a narrow rectangular hump separating branchial groups. Amphicteis dalmatica was redescribed from type materials at the Australian Museum, Sydney, and the differences between A. dalmatica and A. hwanghaiensissp. nov. are discussed. A key to distinguish Amphicteis species described or reported in Western Pacific waters is provided.

Alectona species which bore into the scleraxis of several colonies of Corallium elatius and the stem of a stylasterid coral, Distichopora sp. have been studied. The genus Alectona consists of rarely collected species. Five species, of the eight known for the genus, are here recorded. Two new species of Alectona sorrentini and A. microspiculata and one uncertain species are described.In recent reefs Cliona species are the predominant boring sponges while Alectona and Thoosa were common in the Eocene/Miocene coral reefs. The deep precious red coral communities of the western Pacific may be interpreted as refuge habitats of these ancient boring sponges.

The genus Bathycadulus Scarabino, 1995 was described on the basis of a bathyal species (Bathycadulus fabrizioi Scarabino, 1995) collected from the southern Indian and western Pacific waters. Here we describe three new species, and conduct a morphometric analysis of shells of the four species. Those findings confirming the rather large bathyal and abyssal geographic distribution of the genus.
