A single specimen (HUMZ 178190; 324.0 mm SL) of synodontid lizard fish, Saurida micropectoralis Shindo and Yamada, 1972, was collected by angling at Nago Fishing Port (26°34'N, 127°59'E), Nago City, Okinawa Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, in October 2001. It represents the first record of the species from Japan and the northernmost record of the species in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. The specimen is described and a new Japanese name “kosode-eso” is proposed for the species.
