摘要：

Etyrias akihito, is described from 16 specimens, 23.5-111.2 mm SL, collected at the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines, Yaeyama Islands of southern Japan, and from a photographic record from Palau It is most similar to the wide-ranging Indo-Pacific E. belissimus, differing in having longer filamentous dorsal spines, usually 17 (vs. 18) pectoral rays, and in colour. Unlike the other three members of the genus, which frequent silt or mud bottoms of estuaries or turbid inshore reefs, the new species is found in relatively clear water in the vicinity of coral reefs to depths of at least 43 m.
