Etymology: Pseudochromis: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); yamasakii: Named for Kimihiro Yamasaki, who collected the holotype and provided photographs of the new species.
Eponymy: Kimihiro Yamasaki is a professional Japanese diver and ‘excellent underwater photographer’, who collected the type and provided photographs. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 25; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 15; Vertebre: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: D III,25, all segmented rays are branched; A III,15 where anal-fin spines are moderately stout and pungent, the second spine stouter than third; scales in lateral series 37-38; circumpeduncular scales 16; predorsal scales 15, extending anteriorly to anterior AIO pores; caudal fin is rounded (Ref. 118103).
Water temperatures of two photograph sites were 18°C and 21°C , suggesting that this species is tolerant of relatively low temperatures (Ref. 118103).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00193 - 0.01299), b=3.10 (2.88 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
