Two species of tropical lancelet, Epigonichthys maldivensis (Cooper) and E . lucayanus (Andrews), were collected from bottom sand dredged by SCUBA-divers at depths of 10-14 m among coral reefs in Nanwan Bay, southern Taiwan , in June, 1996. The average density, inclusive of both species, was roughly 25 ind. m-2, with E. maldivensis in the minority. Many individuals of both species longer than 13 mm were sexually mature . The present specimens represent the second record from Taiwan of the circum-tropical E . lucayanus after a gap of 20 years and the first find in Taiwan of the Indo-West Pacific E . maldivensis. SEM observations of the gut contents and material extracted from the sandy bottom of the habitat suggest that the lancelets may feed on surface detritus . Some morphological notes and a key to 5 East Asian lancelet species are also given.

First Find of Epigonichthys maldivensis (Cooper) and Rediscovery of E. lucayanus (Andrews) from Nanwan Bay, Southern Taiwan (Cephalochordata)
