Three species ofSchismatogobiusde Beaufort 1912, distinguished by their morphology and mitochondrial DNA sequences, were found in freshwater streams in the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan. Although two species were previously known from Japan (S. roxasiHerre 1936 andS. ampluvinculusChen, Shao, and Fang 1995), the taxonomy needs to be revised. To identify these species, the holotype morphology ofS. marmoratus(Peters 1868),S. bruyniside Beaufort 1912, andS. roxasi, originally described from the Philippines and Indonesia, were examined and re-described here, because relatively little information about their diagnostic characters was provided in the original descriptions. The three Japanese species were identified asS. ampluvinculus,S. marmoratus, and a new species. They were distinguished from each other and from their congeners by the banding pattern of the body, markings on the pectoral fins, pigment patterns on the ventral surface of the head and pelvic fin, body depth at the pelvic-fin origin, pre-anal length, and pectoral-fin ray counts. Although the new species had been regarded asS. roxasiin previous publications, we show that it is actually notS. roxasiand that it also differs from all other nominal species ofSchismatogobius. This is described as a new species,S. ninja. Additionally, this is the first record ofS. marmoratusfrom Japan.
