During the 2022 R/V cruises in the Yellow Sea, four goby specimens (51.2‒63.5 mm) were captured by using an Agassiz trawl at a water depth of about 70 meters. These specimens were identified as Suruga fundicola, mainly by the morphometric characters. Their identification was further confirmed by a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 12S and COI mtDNA genes. Considering that the four specimens were in good condition and that the original description is brief, a detailed description of the specimens is given. Moreover, the present study presents a preliminary analysis of its phylogenetic position within the Acanthogobius-lineage (Gobiidae). The discovery of this goby in the Yellow Sea enriches our knowledge of the fish diversity and distribution of this region, and sheds some light on the ecological habitat of these gobies.

黄海珍稀深栖虾虎鱼 Surugafundicola Jordan & Snyder, 1901（戈壁形目，戈壁科）的鉴定

2022 年黄海房车巡航期间，在水深约 70 米处使用 Agassiz 拖网捕获了 4 条虾虎鱼标本（51.2-63.5 毫米）。主要通过形态特征将这些标本鉴定为 Surugafundicola。基于 12S 和 COI mtDNA 基因的分子系统发育分析进一步证实了它们的鉴定。考虑到这四个标本保存完好，且原描述较为简短，现对标本进行详细描述。此外，本研究还对其在 Acanthogobius 谱系（Gobiidae）中的系统发育位置进行了初步分析。黄海这种虾虎鱼的发现丰富了我们对该地区鱼类多样性和分布的了解，并为这些虾虎鱼的生态栖息地提供了一些线索。
