Abstract
Coelorinchus kaiyomaru (Gadiformes: Macrouridae) is described from 32 specimens collected off Tasmania and New Zealand.and one specimen from waters off the Falkland Islands.The new species is readily distinguished from other species of Coelorinchus by: the long snout;squamation on head and trunk;absence of a continuous anterolateral edge in the nasal bones (i.e..median and lateral processes not united);a small light organ that lacks a secondary duct;and extent of trunk pigmentation.The new species was previously confused with C. innotabilis McCulloch.1907.
