Anterior nostril tubular, located near tip of snout. Posterior nostril tubular, located in front of eye. Upper jaw shorter than lower jaw. Lips well developed. Gill opening located in front of pectoral base, crescent in shape, as wide as width of pectoral base. Scales undeveloped. Dorsal, anal and pectoral fin rays well-developed and well-differentiated. Pectoral fins small, their posterior margin rounded. Anal fin base just behind anus. Dorsal fin base located slightly behind center between tip of pectoral fin and anal fin base. Dorsal and anal fins moderately elevated, slightly reducing in height posteriorly, but posteriormost portion expanded, confluent with small caudal fin.

ineligible as a standard Japanese name. Therefore, we herein propose a new standard Japanese name, “Uguma-unagi” for this species based on the specimens (KYUM-PI-05434). The proposed species name is based on the body color of adult of this species [see photo in Wanatabe et al. (2009)] and is a combination of “uguma” meaning “sesame” in the Okinawan dialect to express the irregular mottled coloration pattern on the body of the species, and “unagi” meaning “eel” in Japanese.
