A new stenothoid species, Metopa propoda sp. nov., is described from a seamount of the Western Pacific. The new species differs from all other congeneric species by the mature males having a large rectangular notch in the palmar corner of the gnathopod 2. One mitochondrial gene (COI) was used to analyze the validity of Metopa propoda sp. nov.

An identification key of the Pacific Metopa species, including this new species, is provided.
