Abstract
The species of Epimeniidae (Solenogastres: Cavi-belonia) are compared and revised according to available type material. Structures of particular interest include the differentiation of the foregut, the pharyngo-buccal nervous system and the blood cells. Seven species are recognized in the family. Of these, six are placed in the genus Epimenia: E. australis (Thiele) (synonym Dinomenia verrucosa Nierstrasz), E. ohshimai Baba, E. arabica Salvini-Plawen & Benayahu, and the three new species E. babai from off Kyushu, Japan (synonym E. verrucosa in Baba 1939–1951), E. allohaemata from off Korea and E.indica from the Maldives.Keywords
