Abstract

Three new species of the iphimediid amphipod, Iphimedia declivis, I. macrops, and I. trigona, are described from the Pacific coast of Japan. These species can be distinguished from one another by the shapes of pereonites 1, 7, coxa 7, and pereopod 7 basis. A key to the species of the family Iphimediidae in Japan is provided.
