While examining blennioid fishes from deep-waters around Japan aril adjacent regions taken by motor trawlers, we found two interesting species not previously recorded from Japan. Upon careful examination of these specimens, they were found to represent new species, and described herein as Lumpenus macrops and Lumpenella nigricans respectively.
The counts and measurements were made in same manner as the senior writer has utilized in his previous studies on the Japanese deep-sea fishes. The expenses for the investigations of the deep-sea fishes were defrayed by the research fund of the Ministry of Education and Viscount Keizo SHIBUSAWA.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to Dr. Robert R. HARRY, Mr. Yoshimi HIRANO and Mr. Morizumi NAKAMURA for their assistance rendered in various ways.
