Malmiana virida sp. n., parasitic on buffalo sculpins, Enophrys bison, in Yaquina Bay estuary, and Malmiana diminuta sp. n., a parasite of rockfishes, Sebastes spp., and cabezon, Scorpaenichthys marmoratus, are described. Malmiana virida reaches a length of 30 mm and resembles Malmiana scorpii (Malm) except in structure of the male reproductive system. Malmiana diminuta attains a length of only 15mm and is usually reddish-brown with marginal, metameric clusters of yellow pigment granules. Cocoons of M. virida contain from 2 to 4 eggs, but those of M. diminuta contain only 1 egg.
