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..

Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng) : 6; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng) : 6; Tia cứng vây hậu môn: 2; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 4; Động vật có xương sống: 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.
