Etymology: Matsubarichthys: Because of Matsubara, icthyologist in scorpenoid fishes. He was cited by Hilgendorf, 1880, and named after Shinnosuke Matsubara, director of Imperial Fisheries in Tokyo; inusitatus: Name means unusual or rare..

Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 6; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 6; Anale stekels 2; Anale zachte stralen: 4; Wervels: 21. Head extremely large, depressed. Body elongate, not compressed. Caudal fin damaged (rounded, without branched rays, 10 segmented rays and 4 unsegmented). Body scales absent, except for lateral line which are extremely long and tubular; first 3 touching each other. Its distinct, densely melanic spots on the head may be a transitory larval or juvenile character but cannot be verified until larger specimens are caught (Ref. 35981).
Known only from the holotype which may be at a transitory larvae and juvenile stage with a length of 0.85 cm SL (Ref. 35981). Maximum length value is preliminary and is assumed to be twice the length of the only juvenile specimen reported.
