- Abstract
The pinnotheroid genus Aphanodactylus currently includes four species, of which A. loimiae Konishi & Noda, 1999, was described from Kuroshima Island, Yaeyama Islands, Japan, based on a single ovigerous female. Here, we report the fi rst known male specimen of A. loimiae. Characters used by Konishi & Noda (1999) to distinguish species of Aphanodactylus are reevaluated and additional distinguishing features are recognized.
