Two anthiine fishes of the genus Holanthias from moderately deep water are described as new: H.katayamai and H.tapui. Both have been identified previously as Scalantarus chrysostictus (Günther). H.katayamai, known from Guam and southern Japan, is distinctive in its deeply emarginate caudal fin with broadly rounded lobes, lack of elon-gate dorsal spines, but with greatly prolonged third dorsal, second anal and second pelvic rays.H.tapui is described from two specimens from Tahiti and one from the Cook Islands; it is closely related to the Indonesian species H.chrysostictus, differing principally in its longer and more lunate caudal fin, higher gill-raker count, and in coloration.
