Abstract

A new species of the gobiid genus Egglestonichthys Miller and Wongrat is described from three specimens collected by trawl from the Arafura Sea and Van Diemen Gulf, northern Australia, and off Bombay, India. Egglestonichthys melanoptera (Rao), originally assigned to Callogobius, is re-described. The new species differs from E. melanoptera and E. patriciae in having very small eyes, a more narrow gill opening, and distinct brown bands and saddles on a pale background.
