The previously reported northernmost record of the species being as Taiwan, the Kagoshima specimen is described here as the northernmost (and first Japanese) record known of E. devisi. Although the species is similar to E. heteroloba in having the maxilla posteriorly reaching to the subopercle, differences between the species have been unclear, due to a lack of detailed comparisons. Comparisons of E. devisi with E. heteroloba based on 29 and 32 specimens, respectively, from the Indo-West Pacific revealed the former to have 3 unbranched rays in the dorsal and anal fins [vs. 2 or (rarely) 1 in E. heteroloba]. Encrasicholina devisi also differs from E. heteroloba in having relatively fewer gill rakers: 36–46 (mode 40) on the first gill arch [vs. 44–51 (46)], 30–37 (34) on the second gill arch [vs. 33–42 (38–40)], 15–22 (19) on the fourth gill arch [vs. 19–25 (21)] and 3–7 (6) on the posterior face of the third gill arch [vs. 5–8 (7)]. Morphometrically, E. devisi is separable from E. heteroloba in head length [25.8–27.5% (mean 26.7%) of standard length vs. 22.8–25.5% (24.3%)], first unbranched dorsal-fin ray length [0.4–1.8% (1.0%) vs. 4.1–7.7% (5.6%)], second unbranched dorsal-fin ray length [5.3–7.5% (6.7%) vs. 12.3–15.2% (13.5%)], first unbranched anal-fin ray length [0.3–2.1% (1.0%) vs. 2.5–5.0% (3.6%)] and second unbranched dorsal-fin ray length [2.3–4.9% (3.9%) vs. 7.3–11.0% (9.6%)], and in having the third or fourth soft ray in the dorsal fin longest (vs. second to fourth), and third to fifth soft ray in the anal fin longest (vs. second or third).}, pages = {125--134}, title = {鹿児島県から採集された日本初記録のカタクチイワシ科魚類シロガネアイノコイワシ(新称)Encrasicholina devisiおよび近縁種との比較}, volume = {59}, year = {2012}, yomi = {ハタ, ハルタカ and モトムラ, ヒロユキ and イシモリ, ヒロオ} }
