Abstract
A new species of shrimpgoby,
Tomiyamichthys reticulatus, is described on
the basis of a single specimen taken at 16 m from
a fine, silty-sand bottom at Rabi Island, Fiji. It
differs from the other 12 valid described species
in the genus on the basis of high fin-ray counts a
combination of 12 dorsal and 13 anal-fin soft rays
and 21 pectoral-fin rays, as well as a lanceolate
caudal fin.
