Diagnosis. Light organ tubular, completely covered with scales, externally represented by long black streak extending from immediately anterior to anus to chest just posterior to isthmus. Underside of head completely naked except for overlapping scales posterior to lateral nasal ridges (small scaly patches occasionally found on lower preopercles and posterior ends of mandibular rami); dorsal surface of snout broadly naked along each side of median rostral ridge. Snout long, sharply pointed, length 77–90% PRL, its dorsal profile concave in lateral view; terminal scute short, arrowhead-shaped, dorsoventrally flattened, length 12–22% PRL. Lateral nasal ridge incompletely supported by nasal bone. Anus abutting anal-fin origin. Premaxillary teeth small, slender, conical in moderately wide, long, tapered band, with outer series slightly enlarged; posterior margin of tooth band almost reaching lateral corner of mouth. Body scales covered with short, erect, needle-like spinules in subparallel to narrowly divergent rows; buttresses barely developed. Second dorsal fin distinctly lower than anal fin. Upperjaw length 42–49% PRL; preoral length 66–81% PRL; pectoral-fin length 55–64% PRL; height of first dorsal fin 58–70% PRL; interdorsal length 27–47% PRL; length of gill slit 20–25% PRL; barbel length 11–18% PRL. Body darker dorsally, silvery white ventrally; dark prominent blotches faint, often difficult to distinguish (prominently marked only in juveniles); median nasal bone blackish; underside of head generally pale, but mandibular rami blackish; no black hair-like papillae on naked areas on head; lips pale to dusky; oral cavity immaculate; gular and branchiostegal membranes heavily peppered with large melanophores; chest pale to dark; first dorsal fin dusky, but second spinous ray blackish; tip of pelvic fin prominently blackish.

Size. To about 36 cm TL ( Okamura 1970a).

Distribution. Known from Japan and Taiwan. Distributed in the Pacific off southern Japan northward to the Boso Peninsula (139.89ºE), Okinawa Trough, and northern South China Sea, at depths of 170–450 m ( Chiou et al. 2004b; Shao et al. 2008a, 2008b; this study; Appendix 3-4A). Common.

Comments on holotype. Coelorinchus longissimus was described by Matsubara (1943) based on a single specimen collected from the Kumano-nada, Japan. Unfortunately, the holotype is considered lost during WWII (see the Comments on holotype of C. hige ).

Remarks, relationships, and comparisons. Coelorinchus longissimus has been well described by previous authors, and thus does not need repeating here. The reader can refer to the original description (Matsubara 1943) and Okamura (1970a) for further morphological details.This species belongs to the C. argentatus group (see the Relationships of C. formosanus ), and is most similar to C. gaesorhynchus Iwamoto & Williams, 1999 known from the eastern Indian Ocean off Western Australia. The two species are similar to each other in having the absence of prominent markings on the body, such as dark sports, blotches, stripes, or vermiculations (except for small specimens of C. longissimus ). However, C. longissimus is readily distinguished from C. gaesorhynchus by having a shorter snout (77–90% PRL vs. 93–100%), preoral (66– 81% PRL vs. 85–92%), and terminal snout scute (12–22% PRL vs. 25–26%).

If some scales remain on the body dorsum, the species is unlikely to be confused with other Japanese species of the C. argentatus group, viz., C. formosanus Okamura, 1963 , C. kamoharai Matsubara, 1943 , and C. multispinulosus Katayama, 1942 . In C. longissimus , spinules on the body scales are arranged in subparallel to narrowly divergent rows ( Fig. 34C View FIGURE 34 ), whereas those of the other three species are in quincunx order ( Fig. 34 View FIGURE 34 A–B, D). In addition, the blotched pattern of C. longissimus gradually becomes obscure with growth, but it is still discernable or prominently marked in adults of the other species (especially in preserved specimens). Coelorinchus longissimus is also distinguished from C. formosanus and C. multispinulosus in having a lower first dorsal fin (58– 70% PRL vs. Ż74%). It further differs from C. formosanus in lacking broad scaly patches on the ventral surfaces of the preopercle and the mandibular rami (vs. well developed), and in having a shorter barbel (11–18% PRL vs. 20–26%) and pectoral fin (55–64% PRL vs. 69–75%). Due to their close resemblance, C. longissimus may be confused with C. kamoharai in the field. However, C. longissimus lacks dark hair-like papillae on the underside of the head (vs. well developed in C. kamoharai ). It is further separable from C. kamoharai in having a longer snout (snout length 77–90% PRL vs. 63–77%; preoral length 66–81% PRL vs. 51–65%), a shorter upper jaw (42–49% PRL vs. 47–54%), and a narrower gill slit (20–25% PRL vs. 26–29%).
