A new species of the labrid fish genus Cirrhilahru is described from 12 specimens collected over rubble bottom in 12-14 m off the southwestern coast of Sumatra near Padang and the Mentawai Islands. It is a small species (largest, 63.4 mm SL) characterized as follows: dorsal rays XI,9; anal rays III,9; pectoral rays 14-15 (rarely 14); lateral-line scales 15-16 + 6-7; median predorsal scales 5; rows of scales on check 2; gill rakers 15-18; body depth 2.9-3.2 in SL; head length 2.75-3.05 in SL; dorsal profile of head nearly straight; snout length 3.4-
3.85 in head; caudal fin varying from slightly rounded or truncate in females to double emarginate or emarginate in males; pelvic fins short, not reaching anus; males whitish to pale pink with two large triangular bright red blotches dorsoanteriorly on body and a broad red border on dorsal fin; females red, shading to white ventrally on head and abdomen, with a black spot posteriorly on upper side of caudal peduncle.
