The aspidochirote holothurians are mostly large benthic animals common in tropical and subtropical waters, especially in the Indo- West Pacific area. Nearly all the edible species belong to this order. It is therefore important to study the Taxonomy of aspidochirote holothurians. A total of fifty species was reported by the following investigators as Ludwig(1875),Theel(1886), Heding(1934), Chang (1934, 1954), Chang and Liao(1963), Chang et al(1964)and Liao(1975, 1980 ). R list of the species is given on page 221. In the present paper some description are given for the species which had not yet been described in China. The material upon which this report was based was collected by the Institute of Oceanology. Academia Sinica, in the past 28 years. Most of the specimens came from the littoral region, but some were dredged out by the benthic biological survey.
