A single specimen of a rare species of armored searobin, Paraheminodus kamoharai Kawai, Imamura et Nakaya, 2004, is recorded from Taiwan, South China Sea, for the first time. While this particular species has been recorded in the Philippines and Japan, it has never been found in Taiwan. Therefore, our specimen fills the distribution gap of this species in the western Pacific Ocean. A detailed description of the specimen is provided and compared to the data of type specimens. Additionally, a checklist of species recorded from Taiwan is provided. Currently, 20 peristediine species under six genera are recorded from Taiwan’s EEZ.
