Summary:Draculo mirabilis Snyder, characterized by having no spinous dorsal fin, is a peculiar species of the family Callionymidae. The present species has been rarely collected (Snyder, 1911; Li, 1960; Kobayashi and Abe, 1962, Arai, 1971). There is no report on callionymid chromosomes, except for that of Callionpmus richardsoni obtained by the gonad section method (Nogusa, 1960). Recently, we had a chance to observe chromosomes of Draculo mirabilis collected from southern Hokkaido.
