Abstract: Luzonichthys seaver

             , n. sp., is described from two specimens, 42-46 mm standard length (SL) collected from Pohnpei, Micronesia. Collections were made by divers on mixed-gas closed-circuit rebreathers using hand nets at depths of 90-100 m.
             Luzonichthys seaver
             is distinct from all other species of the genus in the characters of lateral line scales, gill rakers, pelvic fin length, caudal concavity and coloration. Of the six species of
             Luzonichthys
             , it appears to be morphologically most similar to
             L. earlei
             and
             L. whitleyi
             .
