Abstract

A checklist is compiled for 59 nominal and one unidentified species of copepods belonging to 33 genera of 12 families in two orders recorded based on the 55 original articles and monographs published from 1895 to 2020. These copepods have been found from marine mollusks including 76 species in 59 genera of 37 families in five classes in Japanese waters. A parasite-host list and a host-parasite list are also provided.
