| dc.description.abstract | Two new species of deep-sea cardinalfish are described from specimens that were collected in Hawaiian waters. Epigonus glossodontus and E. devaneyi have fewer lateral-line scales than all known congeners except E. o/igolepis, to which they are most closely related. Epigonus glossodont us has two or three large, anteriorly projecting teeth on each side of the symphysis of the lower jaw, and both species have scales on the upper part of the snout. A key to the Hawaiian species of Epigonus is provided. | |
