Although the two species have been recorded from Amami-oshima Island (Kagoshima Prefecture) and Taiwan, they have at not been reported from Okinawa Prefecture located between Amami and Taiwan. Thus, the current specimens represent the first records of U. oligospondylus and Uropterygius sp. sensu Hatooka, 2000 from Okinawa Prefecture. Most specimens were collected from gaps under stones or deposited gravels on reef shores exposed at low tide. In addition, some specimens of Echidna nebulosa, U. marmoratus, and U. micropterus were also collected from similar environments to where U. oligospondylus was found. Our study showed that various sized individuals of Uropterygius sp. sensu Hatooka, 2000 and U. micropterus and young individuals of E. nebulosa, U. marmoratus, and U. oligospondylus inhabit environments such as under gravel and/or stones exposed during lower tides. Uropterygius oligospondylus and Uropterygius sp. sensu Hatooka, 2000 occur on rough-rocky beaches. Uropterygius micropterus lives in relatively calm areas, and Uropterygius sp. sensu Hatooka, 2000 sometimes appears in estuaries and probably feeds on bait as does U. oligospondylus. Differences in body depth and width between O. oligospondylus and Uropterygius sp. sensu Hatooka, 2000, previously regarded as diagnostic, are not distinct, but tendentious. Color patterns of E. nebulosa, U. marmoratus, and U. micropterus change with growth and their juveniles have no distinct color patterns (completely plain body color at least in juveniles of U. micropterus). Although juveniles of U. micropterus with plain body color are similar to U. concolor, the former differs from the latter in having five mandibular pores (6 in U. conclor).},
