| Abstract |
A new species of marine hatchetfish, Polyipnus surugaensis, is described based on a specimen collected from Suruga Bay, Japan. This species is distinguished from congeners by the following charactercombination: the 3rd supra-abdominal photophore is higher in position than the 2nd; the predorsal dark pigmented area does not reach to the median line of the body and is separated from the subdorsal dark pigmented area; the posterior vomerine shaft is toothless. |
