DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.— A species of Gadomus with chin barbel about 2/3 of HL or slightly longer; elongated ray in 1D, P and V often longer than HL; 1D II,10–11; P (i16) i18–i21; V 8; outer gill rakers lathlike but relatively short, bluntly tipped, (4–5)+(8–21) ( ASIZP 61224 had 1 rudiment and 5 developed rakers on upper arm, 16 developed and 3 rudiments on lower arm); pyl. caeca small, numerous, about 95 to 165. Interorbital width 14–18% HL; orbit diameter 22–23%; upper jaw length 51–58%; chin barbel 57–91%; 1D spinous ray less than twice HL. Color relatively pale, mouth and gill cavity dark but paler on outer margins; lips and barbel whitish; fins dusky to blackish, dorsal fins lighter basally.

DISTRIBUTION.— Southern Japan to Taiwan ( NET, SWT) in 488–1027 m.

REMARKS.— This species was first recorded from Taiwan by Chiou et al. (2004b:43). Our four specimens appeared to have a somewhat shorter barbel (57–91% of HL) than reported by others. Okamura (1970:24) recorded their length as 0.9–1.2 into HL in 44 specimens from Japan, “about as long as, or a little shorter than, length of head” in 10 specimens from the Kyushu-Palau Ridge and Tosa Bay ( Okamura 1982:345), and 75–91% HL in five specimens from the Okinawa Trough ( Okamura 1984:356).
