摘要：

Uropterygius cyamommatus, new species, is described based on nine specimens from limestone anchialine caves in Christmas Island and Panglao Island. This species is a small-sized, elongated moray eel belonging to the uniform brown-coloured species group of the genus. It differs from all congeners of Uropterygius in having very small eyes (3.0-4.6% of head length), a relatively long tail (56.3-61.1% of total length), and a comparatively large number of vertebrae (total vertebrae 141-149). The new species represents the first-recorded moray eel that inhabits anchialine caves.
