| Flabellifera is one of the most important suborders of Isopoda,and the commonest isopods of predominant marine provenance.The materials examined were obtained mainly by national oceanic investigations such as " The Comprehensive Oceanographic Survey( 1958-1960)" ," China Vietnam Comprehensive Survey to Beibu Gulf (Golf of Tonkin)(1959-1960,1962)" and "China Germany Marine Biological Expedition to Hainan Island"(1990,1992).In the present study,Eighty-one species of suborder Flabellifera are found and described,of which 13 are new species and the other 29 species are recorded for the first time from Chinese Waters.Key to Chinese families and genera are provided. Discussion on taxonomic problems is given and brief notes of the distribution are provided. The phylogentic relationships of the flabellifera families are assessed using cladistic methodology.All the specimens are deposited in the Institute of Oceanology,Chinese Academy of Sciences in Qingdao.The name-list of studied species is given as follows(those marked with an asterisk are recorded for the first time from Chinese Waters and those marked with two asterisks are new to science):lAega nanhaiensis sp. nov.2Aega (Aega) serripes H.
