Recently I examined one specimen of a scorpaenoid fish which was identified Snyderina yamanokami Jordan et Starks, 1901(Japanese name:Yamahime).This specimen was taken from off Amami-Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture, on June 1972 and has been deposited in the collections of the Kochi Senior High School (cat.no.15082).The holotype of this species is 217 mm in standard length, collected from Kagoshima, Japan.No other collecting record are available.I wish to report here the occurence of this congiopodid species and its external characters.
