Three new species of the genus Lestidium with complete lateral line are described from the Indo-west Pacific Ocean. Lestidium longilucifer sp. nov., from Western Australia and Taiwan, belongs to the Lestidium atlanticum species complex and can be separated from other congeners by having 41-43 prehaemal vertebrae, 85-88 total vertebrae and 126-146 total lateral-line scales; and body proportions. Lestidium australis sp. nov. from eastern Australia and Lestidium rofeni sp. nov. from Taiwan and the Philippines together with Lestidium prolixum form the L. prolixum species complex. These three species can be separated from each other by a combination of different fin positions, vertebral formula, number of lateral-line scales and pigmentation.
从印度 - 西太平洋地区描述了三种具有完整侧线的莱氏鱼属新物种。来自西澳大利亚和台湾的长光莱氏鱼（Lestidium longilucifer sp. nov.）属于大西洋莱氏鱼物种复合体，可通过具有41 - 43个前血椎骨、85 - 88个总椎骨和126 - 146个总侧线鳞以及身体比例与其他同属物种区分开来。来自澳大利亚东部的澳大利亚莱氏鱼（Lestidium australis sp. nov.）以及来自台湾和菲律宾的罗芬莱氏鱼（Lestidium rofeni sp. nov.）与长体莱氏鱼（Lestidium prolixum）共同构成了长体莱氏鱼物种复合体。这三个物种可通过不同的鳍位置、脊椎公式、侧线鳞数量和色素沉着的组合相互区分。
