| This paper deals with species of the Ocenebrinae (Gastropoda: Muricidae) collected from China coast waters, which occur the Bohai, Yellow Sea and East China Sea, and live in the low-tidal level or in shallow water or deeper, living on rocks or sandy gravel bottom. Subfamily Ocenebrinae was studied on population quantity, distribution and ecological habitat using traditional morphological taxonomic methods based on the mollusca collections of Institute of Oceanology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
