Abstract
During a study of a gobiid collection from the coast of Sudan, Red Sea (Manihine collections—British Museum (Natural History)), six specimens from coral reef walls facing the sea were identified as Acentrogobius belissimus Smith, 1959. The occurrence of this species, previously known only from the Western Indian Ocean (Zanzibar and Mozambique, Smith, 1959), increases to five the number of Acentrogobius species in the Red Sea: cauerensis (Bleeker, 1853); meteori K.lausewitz and Zander, 1967; ornatus (Ruppell, 1828); spence (Smith, 1947) (see Goren, 1978) and belissimus Smith, 1959. The Red Sea belissimus specimens were compared with the original description of the species and with one of the para types.
