Three lichomolgid copepods are associated with the soft coral Lobophytum crassum in the Moluccas. Anisomolgus limbatus sp. nov. is characterized by the lamelliform fringe on the 2nd segment of the 2nd antenna of the male. Panjakus auriculatus sp. nov. is notable in possessing earlike epimera on the segment of leg 4 in the female. Paramolgus inconstans sp. nov. may be recognized by the elongate caudal ramus and the shape of the genital segment in the female. A. insolens, a species already known from Madagascar, occurs also on this soft coral.
