A new species of onuphid worm, Diopatra bulohensis, from Sungei Buloh, Singapore is described. This is also the second Diopatra species to be reported from Singapore waters. The new species is related to D. maculata Paxton; the main differences lie in the absence of indentations on the cutting plates of mandibles, pigmentation patterns of the dorsal branchiferous region, and the occurrence of pectinate setae and subacicular hooks.
