Description Eighteen species of priacanthids have currently been reported worldwide of which maximum diversity is
recorded in the Indo-Pacific region. A new record of a priacanthid Pristigenys niphonia from Indian waters
is described herewith. Morphometric grid meristic measurements of the two specimens of P. niphonia
collected bear close resemblance to that reported by Smith (1966) from Algoa, Western Indian Ocean samples
as well as to those of Fowler (1931) from Japan.
