Diagnosis. A species of Helcogramma with the following combination of characters: 13–15 (modally 14) second dorsal-fin spines; 3–4+2+3–4 mandibular pores; anterior nostril tentacle unbranched; orbital tentacle absent; nape scaled; three longitudinal stripes running from snout to caudal peduncle; row of 6 or 7 spots between middle and ventral stripes.
Distribution. Helcogramma striata is distributed in the Indo-West Pacific, where it ranges from Japan to Australia and from the Andaman Sea to Fiji and the Line Islands ( Hansen 1986; Fricke 1997; Holleman 2007). In Japan, this species occurs from Shizuoka Prefecture to the Ryukyu Islands, where it was collected from Take-shima, Iou-jima, Yaku-shima, Nakano-shima, Amami-oshima, Ie-jima, and Tokashiki-jima islands during the present study and had been recorded previously from Nakano-shima ( Sakai et al. 2005), Okinawa-jima ( Hansen 1986), Miyako-jima ( Senou et al. 2007), and Iriomote-jima ( Aizawa 1997) islands. It was also confirmed from Yonaguni-jima island (KPM-NR 12127) based on underwater photographs. Helcogramma striata usually inhabits the upper surface of rocks or corals, at depths of 3– 20 m.
Remarks. Helcogramma striata is similar to H. maldivensis Fricke and Randall, 1992 in coloration and in lacking both the orbital tentacle and scales on the nape anterior to the dorsal fin. Helcogramma striata can be easily distinguished from H. maldivensis by its having usually 14 second dorsal-fin spines (vs usually 13 in H. maldivensis ) and three longitudinal stripes in both sexes (vs three dotted lines). Mature males of H. striata have a dark-reddish body whereas females have a pale red body with a pale yellow area below the lowermost stripe.
