The new snailfish Paraliparis hokuto is described from two specimens collected between 1,432 and 1,562 m depth in the northern part of the Suruga Trough. It can be distinguished from all currently recognized congeners by the following combination of characters: 72 total vertebrae; 65 dorsal-fin rays; 60 or 61 anal-fin rays; 22 or 23 pectoral-fin rays; 6 caudal-fin rays; 3 pectoral proximal radials, all unnotched; 5 pyloric caeca, longest caecum ca. 60% of HL; teeth weak, easily bent or damaged, completely uniserial in lower jaw; paired chin pores in common pit; opercular flap present; uppermost part of pectoral-fin base horizontally level with center or lower margin of eye. A single specimen of the rare snailfish Paraliparis atramentatus Gilbert and Burke 1912, collected from 253 to 1,282 m depth on the continental slope in western Suruga Bay, and representing only the third example of the species and first record from Suruga Bay, is described and intraspecific variability in teeth tip shape noted.

新的蜗牛鱼 Paraliparis hokuto 是从骏河海槽北部 1,432 至 1,562 m 深度之间收集的两个标本中描述的。它可以通过以下特征组合与所有目前公认的同类物区分开来： 72 总椎骨；65条背鳍条；60 或 61 条臀鳍鱼；22或23条胸鳍条；6尾鳍条；3个胸近端桡骨，全部无缺刻；5幽门盲肠，最长盲肠约。HL 的 60%；牙齿脆弱，容易弯曲或损坏，下颌完全单列；共同坑中成对的下巴毛孔; 存在鳃盖瓣；胸鳍基部的最上部与眼睛的中心或下缘水平。1912 年在骏河湾西部大陆坡的 253 至 1,282 m 深度收集的稀有蜗牛 Paraliparis atramentatus Gilbert 和 Burke 的单个标本，
