A recent revision of the systematics of the family Apogonidae recognized four subfamilies (two being new), 14 tribes (all new) and 38 genera, one of which was new. Fifteen of the genera recognized had formerly been subgenera of Apogon or Rhabdamia, and lacked standard Japanese names, except for Apogonichthyoides, Nectamia sensu stricto and Zoramia. All apogonid subfamilies, tribes and genera occurring in Japanese waters are herein given fixed standard Japanese names. Based on the rules operationally proposed here, twenty-five new standard Japanese names were given to three subfamilies, 13 tribes and 9 genera, a name-baring type for each standard Japanese name (at generic level for family, subfamily and tribe level taxa, and a specific level for genera) being designated for each higher taxon occurring in Japanese waters. Additionally, a new standard Japanese name, Senou-hikari-ishimochi, was proposed for a Japanese species, Siphamia senoui, with the holotype designated as the type for the Japanese name.
