Abstract
Sicyopterus rapa, apparently endemic to one of the two southernmost is lands of French Polynesia in the south central Pacific Ocean, is disti nguished from congeners by a low number of premaxillary teeth and an u nsealed ventral surface of the body in largest adults. Its putative cl osest living relatives are in the Marquesas and Indonesia.
