Abstract
A new species of gobioid fish Pirskenius Obrhelova, 1961 (P. radoni sp. nov.) is described from Oligocene strata of the Ceske Středohoři Mountains and compared with related species. The new species is characterized by a unique combination of characters that allow it to be separated from P. diatomaceus Obrhelova, 1961. The taxonomic position of the genus Pirskenius is discussed, and its affinity to the family Eleotridae is indicated. The new record documents, together with P. diatomaceus, the oldest known skeletal record of the Eleotridae.
