| Abstract | A single specimen of the peristediid genus Satyrichthys Kaup, 1873 collected from off Samoa was identified as Satyrichthys moluccensis (Bleeker, 1850). The species had been known from Japan, East China Sea, South China Sea, Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, Chesterfield Islands and New Caledonia. This report is the first record of the species from Samoa, approximately 3,000 km east of the previous easternmost record from New Caledonia. We include a detailed morphological description of the specimen and found a very long pectoral-fin length in this Samoan specimen (27 % SL) versus others (1824). This Samoan specimen is the largest known (506 mm SL). |
