Abstract

Polycope japonica Hiruta, 1983 is transferred to the genus Parapolycope based on the morphology of the upper lip, antennula, antenna, mandibula, maxillula, and copulatory organ. In addition, a new species, Parapolycope digitolabrum sp. nov., is described and illustrated from a small sandy beach in Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan.
