Abstract

Two specimens of Taractes rubescens (Jordan & Evermann, 1887) (Perciformes: Bramidae) were recorded from Sagami Bay, Japan. The first specimen (205.8 mm SL) was collected at Umezawa Beach and the second specimen (610.0 mm SL) at Fukuura. Both specimens were caught by set net and represent the first records of the species from the bay. The species is characterized by the following combination of characters: origin of dorsal fin behind posterior end of opercle; origin of anal fin distinctly behind pectoral-fin base; dorsal and anal fins covered with small scales, not depressible; dorsal contour of head almost straight; large keeled scales along lateral mid-line of caudal peduncle. Morphometric and meristic data are provided.
