The large-mouth pricklefish, (Günther, 1878), previously known from five specimens collected from the central Pacific Ocean, is redescribed based on three specimens collected from the abyssal zone (4,412-4,813 m) off the southeastern coast of Taiwan. These specimens contribute to a more comprehensive description of and represent this species' westernmost and deepest record. This study provides a detailed description, fresh photographs, and notes on their morphological characteristics of the specimens. Lastly, the distributional records of are discussed.
大口刺鱼(Günther,1878年),之前已知从太平洋中部采集的5个标本,现根据从台湾东南海岸深海区(4412 - 4813米)采集的3个标本重新描述。这些标本有助于对大口刺鱼进行更全面的描述,并代表了该物种最西端和最深的记录。本研究提供了标本的详细描述、清晰照片及其形态特征说明。最后,讨论了大口刺鱼的分布记录。
