Abstract
Chirolophis saitone (Jordan et Snyder, 1902) is redescribed based on newly collected specimens, i.e., six specimens (55.0-82.0 mm SL) from Mutsu Bay, Aomori and two specimens (61.3, 71.0 mm SL) from Hokkaido, northern Japan and on the holotype.It is diagnosed from its congeners mainly by teeth with pointed tips, smaller numbers of occipital sensory canal openings and the mossy head.
