Abstract

Through correspondence, the authors determined that each possessed material of an undescribed wrasse of the genus Suezichthys SMITH. The first five specimens of this species were taken in December, 1964 by R. V. "Anton Bruun" while trawling in 78-82 m and in 70-80 m (2 and 3 specimens resp.) off the Somali Republic, East Africa; the next two were collected a month later by R. V. "Meteor" by trawl off Kenya in 124-130 m; the last two were trawled in July and October, 1972 by U. S. National Marine Fisheries Service research vessel "Townsend Cromwell" off Oahu, Hawaiian Islands in 119-168 m. These nine specimens form the basis for the description herein of this new labrid fish.
