| Abstract: | Rosenblattichthys nemotoi is described from a single larval specimen, 37 mm SL (standard length) taken from the southern Indian Ocean Subtropical Convergence Zone. This species differs from all otherRosenblattichthys in meristic characters (25 anal-fin rays, 26 or 27 pectoral-fin rays), configuration of accessory pigment areas (two areas present; a dorsal area (DA) and a midlateral peduncular area (PDA), and nonprecocity of pectoral-fin development. All other records ofRosenblattichthys are from tropical or subtropical waters. |
