Halichoeres raisneri, new species, is described from three specimens captured by the Johnson Sea Link submersible at 114-125 m off Wolf Island, Galápagos. Distinctive features of the new species include a dorsally projecting fleshy flap along the posterior three-quarters of the upper lip and the absence of a canine tooth at the corner of the upper jaw. The body color of freshly caught females is pale pink with two yellow stripes and five prominent pink spots above the uppermost stripe. Similarities between the new species and other labrids are discussed, and a key to the 16 nominal species of Labridae known from the Galápagos Islands is provided. Decodon melasma is recorded from the Archipelago for the first time.
赖斯纳海猪鱼,新物种,由约翰逊海链号潜水器在加拉帕戈斯群岛沃尔夫岛外114 - 125米处捕获的三个标本描述而来。新物种的显著特征包括沿着上唇后四分之三有一个背向突出的肉质皮瓣,以及上颌角处没有犬齿。刚捕获的雌性个体体色为浅粉色,有两条黄色条纹,在最上面的条纹上方有五个明显的粉色斑点。讨论了新物种与其他隆头鱼科鱼类的相似之处,并提供了加拉帕戈斯群岛已知的16个隆头鱼科名义物种的检索表。黄褐斑海草首次在该群岛被记录。
