A new maldanid polychaete species, Nicomache ohtai, is described from the Hatsushima cold-seep in Sagami Bay at a depth of 1163 m. The new species is very close to N. venticola from the hydrothermal vents of the northeastern Pacific, however it differs from the latter in having up to 19 rostrate uncini with 3-4 apical teeth in each neuropodium instead of up to 10 uncini with 2-3 teeth.
