Abstract:
Luciogobius adapel is described, based on five specimens, 19.0-31.5 mm SL, from a depth of 20-50 m in North to Central Japan. It is unique among gobioids in lacking dorsal, anal and pelvic fins, but is considered as the most reductive member of Luciogobius sensu lato. Its osteology is described in detail, and definition of the genus is briefly discussed.
