Liparids are a cottoid family of more than 350 species distributed worldwide in polar, temperate and deep tropical waters. About 20 species (in six genera) are known from the west coast of South America south of Panama to Tierra del Fuego, and four (in two genera) from the Indian Ocean. This paper describes an additional four species from existing collections: three from Peruvian and Chilean waters (Paraliparis carlbondi new species, Paraliparis skeliphrus new species, Notoliparis antonbruuni new species), and one from the Indian Ocean (Psednos carolinae new species). Paraliparis membranaceus Günther is redescribed, a range extension and additional descriptive information is reported for Paraliparis merodontus Stein, additional descriptive information is provided for Careproctus pallidus (Vaillant) and Psednos steini Chernova, the known range of Careproctus longifilis Garman is extended to Peru from the Gulf of Panama, and a species of Psednos similar to Psednos dentatus Chernova and Stein is described, but not named.

Paraliparis hawaiiensis n.sp. is described from the north-western Hawaiian Islands from two specimens collected at 2196 and 3055 m. It differs from other North Pacific Ocean species in its chin pore arrangement, tooth pattern and body proportions. Although liparid specimens have previously been collected from Hawaii, they were undescribed and are now lost. Therefore, this is the first liparid species described from the archipelago. In situ photographs of Hawaiian snailfishes are also shown and discussed here.
