鹿児島県から得られた日本初記録のエソ科魚類Saurida undosquamisツケアゲエソ（新称）

抄録

Thirty-two specimens (124.1–365.0 mm standard length) of Saurida undosquamis (Richardson, 1848) (Aulopiformes: Synodontidae), previously recorded from the Indo-West Pacific from Persian Gulf, Chagos Archipelago, Andaman Sea to Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and northern half and southwestern Australia, were collected from the mainland of Kagoshima Prefecture and Tanega-shima island in the Osumi Islands, southern Japan. These specimens represent the first records of S. undosquamis from Japanese waters and include the northernmost records (Kasasa, west coast of Satsuma Peninsula) for the species. The Japanese specimens are described here in detail and the new Japanese name “Tsukeage-eso” is proposed for the species.
