[[ Genus Lubbockichthys View in CoL View at ENA ZBK ]]
Species of the genus Lubbockichthys ZBK are distinguished from members of other pseudoplesiopine genera in having the following synapomorphies: scales small; scales cycloid at all stages of ontogeny; some head bones with weakly honeycombed surface; and parietal enclosing dorsal part of supratemporal laterosensory canal (Gill and Edwards, 1999). There are two species currently recognised in the genus (though we will describe additional species in an upcoming revision of the genus), the type species ( Pseudoplesiops multisquamatus Allen ZBK 1987) and L. tanakai Gill and Senou ZBK , 2002. We herein describe a new species from Guam.
