The unusual clingfish Protogobiesox asymmetricus n. gen, n. sp. is described on the basis of four specimens collected in deep water off the north coast of Papua New Guinea in 2012. The species is characterized by its 9-10 dorsal rays, 8 anal rays, 17-24 pectoral-fin rays, 15 principal caudal-fin rays, 3 gills, third arch with 3 gill rakers, 34-35 total vertebrae, with asymmetrical lateral bending starting behind the skull, bent at an angle of 85°-92°; skull asymmetrical in frontal view; skin naked, surface of head and body without striae; disc without adhesive papillae. A new subfamily Protogobiesocinae is described for this species and Lepadicyathus mendeleevi Prokofiev, 2005, which is redescribed. The new subfamily is compared within the family; keys to the subfamilies of Gobiesocidae and the species within the new subfamily are presented; its phylogenetic relationship to other gobiesocids is inferred based on a multi-locus DNA dataset.
根据2012年在巴布亚新几内亚北海岸深水区域采集的4个标本，描述了一种独特的喉盘鱼——不对称原喉盘鱼（Protogobiesox asymmetricus），新属新种。该物种的特征为：背鳍条9 - 10根，臀鳍条8根，胸鳍条17 - 24根，主尾鳍条15根，鳃3个，第三鳃弓有鳃耙3个，脊椎骨总数34 - 35枚，头骨后方开始出现不对称的侧向弯曲，弯曲角度为85° - 92°；头骨在正视图中不对称；皮肤裸露，头部和身体表面无条纹；吸盘无吸附乳突。为该物种及2005年的门捷列夫氏叶杯喉盘鱼（Lepadicyathus mendeleevi Prokofiev）描述了一个新亚科——原喉盘鱼亚科（Protogobiesocinae），并对门捷列夫氏叶杯喉盘鱼进行了重新描述。在科内对新亚科进行了比较；列出了喉盘鱼科亚科及新亚科内物种的检索表；基于多基因座DNA数据集推断了其与其他喉盘鱼科鱼类的系统发育关系。
