Abstract	The fauna of parasitic isopods of the family Bopyridae in Singapore is only poorly known, consisting of only seven species in as many genera in five subfamilies. A new small collection adds four species in as many genera, two of them belonging to a subfamily not previously recorded from Singapore. These are: Pleurocrypta macrocephalon (Nierstarsz & Brender a Brandis, 1923 [incorporating Pleurocrypta yatsui (Pearse, 1930)] (subfamily Pseudioninae), infesting Petrolisthes lamarckii (Leach); Parabopryella bonnieri (Nierstarsz & Brender a Brandis, 1923 (subfamily Bopyrinae), infesting Alpheus strenuus Dana; Athelges takanoshimensis Ishii, 1914; and Pseudostegias dulcilacuum Markham, 1982 (both subfamily Athelginae), noth of the latter two species infecting Diogenes pallescens Whitelegge. A list of the 11 species now known from Singapore with their host species and citation is presented.
