Ten species of the genus Scolelepis are described from Japanese waters. These ten include six new species, herein named Scolelepis (Scolelepis) branchia, S. (S.) lingulata, S. (S.) sagittaria, S. (S.) variegata, S. (S.) planata and S. (Parascolelepis) geniculata. Scolelepis (Scolelepis) lefebvrei Gravier, S. (S.) kudenovi Hartmann-Schröder and S. (Parascolelepis) texana Foster are newly recorded from Japan. Scolelepis (Scolelepis) branchia appears to be transitional between the genera Scolelepis and Dispio in having accessory branchiae on notopodia. Scolelepis (Scolelepis) planata is characterized in having flattened occipital tentacle.
