Abstract
A new aulopodid fish, Hime microps, is described after two specimens from the Nazca submarine ridge (25°43'S, 85°29'W at 160-165m; 25°42'S, 85°24'W at 162-168m). This species is related to H. japonica and H. curtirostris but differs in having no pyloric caeca and smaller eyes with the horizontal diameter shorter than the snout length. Specimens of H. japonica from off Japan, the Hawaiian submarine ridge and the Tasman Sea are compared and found to be morphologically identical.
