A new species of the genus Acropoma, A. musorstom sp. nov. is described based on four specimens (126.3–143.0 mm in standard length: SL) collected from Vanuatu and the Molucca Islands, Indonesia. The present species is distinguished from other congeners by a combination of the following characters: luminous gland short, U-shaped around anus; luminous-gland length 10.3–13.7% SL; symphysis of lower jaw not protruded; proximal radial of first anal-fin pterygiophore with concavity on anterior surface; anus situated closer to pelvic-fin insertion than to origin of anal fin; weakly ctenoid scales on lateral side of body; vertical line on cheek absent; scales between first dorsal-fin base and lateral line 4; pectoral-fin rays 16–17; and gill rakers 20–21. Acropoma splendens (Lloyd 1909) collected from off Phuket, it represents the first record of this species from the Andaman Sea off southwestern Thailand. A key to the species of Acropoma currently known from the Indo-Pacific is provided.

一个新的种类的Acropoma，A。musorstom sp。十一月 根据从瓦努阿图和印度尼西亚莫卢卡群岛收集的四个标本（标准长度：126.3–143.0 mm：SL）进行描述。本种有以下特征与其他同类动物有区别：发光腺体短，肛门周围呈U形。发光腺长度SL为10.3-13.7％；下颌骨的联合没有突出；第一肛鳍翼状phor肉的近端radial骨，前表面凹陷；肛门位于比盆鳍起点更靠近盆鳍插入的位置；身体外侧的软类鳞状鳞片；脸颊上没有垂直线；在第一背鳍基部和侧线4之间缩放; 胸鳍射线16-17；和g耙20–21 脾炎劳埃德（Lloyd 1909）是从普吉岛外采集的，代表了该物种在泰国西南部安达曼海的首次记录。提供了印度太平洋目前已知的棘轮虫物种的关键。
