Abstract
One and two specimens of Cirrhitus pinnulatus pinnulatus Forster, 1801 (Cirrhitidae), widely distributed in the
Indo-Pacific tropics and temperate waters, were collected from the Cape Manazuru and west coast of Boso peninsula, Sagami Bay, Japan, respectively. In Japanese waters, C. p. pinnulatus has been recorded from the Izu Peninsula (uncertain east or west coast), Kii Peninsula, Kochi Prefecture, Hyuga-Nada Sea, Satsuma Peninsula, the Osumi Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, and the Izu-Ogasawara Islands. Thus, the specimens described here in detail with supplementary materials represent reliable records from Sagami Bay and northernmost records for the species. In addition, the factors responsible for the occurrence of this species in Sagami Bay were discussed.
