(Perciformes: Opistognathidae) is described on the basis of three specimens (17.3-30.6 mm in standard length) collected from the Osumi and Ryukyu islands, southern Japan in depths of 35-57 m. Although most similar to , recently described from Tonga and Vanuatu, the new species differs in mandibular pore arrangement, dorsal- and caudal-fin coloration, fewer gill rakers, and lacks blotches or stripes on the snout, suborbital region and both jaws.
（鲈形目：后颌鱼科）基于从日本南部大隅群岛和琉球群岛35 - 57米深处采集的三个标本（标准体长17.3 - 30.6毫米）进行描述。尽管该新物种与最近在汤加和瓦努阿图描述的[某物种]最为相似，但在颌孔排列、背鳍和尾鳍颜色、鳃耙较少以及吻部、眶下区域和上下颌均无斑点或条纹等方面存在差异。
