- Abstract
A new peristediid, Paraheminodus kamoharai, is described from three specimens (106.9?114.8?mm SL) collected from the Sulu Sea, the Philippines. The new species is easily distinguished from its congeners ( Paraheminodus laticephalus and P. murrayi) in having 33 bony plates in the upper lateral row, the 24?25th to 30th bony plate each in the upper lateral row with a forwardly directed spine, 17?19 gill rakers on the lower limb, a long slender rostral projection (43.4?47.0% of head length), and short upper (41.1?42.3%) and lower jaws (36.5?37.2%).
