description Abstract. Scolanthus is one genus of Edwardsiidae, a speciose family of burrowing worm-like sea anemones characterized by lacking a physa-like aboral end and by possessing nemathybomes on the whole body except at the distal end. This genus has been recorded worldwide, but there have been no specimens collected from Japan. In this study, we discovered four Scolanthus species in Japan for the first time: Scolanthusarmatus (Carlgren, 1931) and Scolanthuskopepesp. n. from the Ogasawara Islands, Scolanthusenasp. n. from Ena Bay, Kanagawa, and Scolanthusiseisp. n. from Sugashima Island, Mie.
