1. Phylogeny: Specimens of 60 species of the liparidid fishes from the Northern Hemisphere were used for the comparative anatomy. The following 11 skeletal parts of each specimen were examined: cranium, infraorbital bones, jaws, suspensorium and opercular apparatus, hyoid arch, branchial apparatus, pectoral girdle, vertebrae and their accessory bones, dorsal and anal fins, and caudal complex. In addition to skeletons, some external and internal characters were examined. Theretofore characters were selected and adopted to construct the cladogram. Character polarity was established by outgroup comparison following the method of Sawada (1982). 2. Taxonomy: The liparidid fishes of 41 species in five genera were reviewed and described from water around Japan. Three new species were described: Careproctus dentatus, C. marginatus and Paraliparis dipterus. Careproctus mederi and C. nigricans were described as the first records from Japan. The latter is also the second record of the species. Keys to subfamilies, genera and species were presented
