Аннотация:Seven species (in 4 genera, 2 families, 2 orders) of copepods were found in washing of six species of shallow water starfish (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in the Southern Vietnam (Nhatchang Bay): Stellicola caeruleus (Stebbing, 1900), Stellicola illgi Humes, 1973, Stellicola oreastriphilus Kossmann, 1877, Stellicola parvulipes Humes, 1976, Synstellicola acanthasteris Humes, 1970, Doridicola echinasteris (Humes, 1976) (Poecilostomatoida); Astroxynus culcitae Humes, 1971 (Siphonostomatoida). This is the first record of copepods associated with Linckia laevigata (L. 1758), Acanthaster planci (Linnaeus), Choriaster granulatus Lutken, 1869, Echinaster luzonicus (Gray, 1840), Pentaceraster regulus (Muller & Troschel, 1842), Culcita novaeguineae Muller & Troschel, 1842 at the Southern Vietnam. Morphological and ecological features of copepods, new host records and distinctions of diversity of copepods from distinct regions of the Indo-Pacific will be discussed.
