Etymology

Named for David F. Pence, Dive Safety Officer for the University of Hawai'i, a member of the deep diving team that discovered this species, in recognition of his efforts to collect the type specimens.

Distribution

All type specimens of N. pencei were collected at Rarotonga, Cook Islands. An individual Neoniphon closely matching the life colors of N. pencei (and different from all other known species) was captured on video by Robert K. Whitton at a depth of 90 m at Moorea, in February 2012 (Fig. 3). It is likely that the species is more broadly distributed throughout the southeastern tropical Pacific, but has escaped noticed due to insufficient collecting activities at mesophotic depths in this region.
