Updated information on fish fauna of India resulted in summarising that the Indian waters are represented by 69 genera and 174 species of gobioid fishes (Perciformes, Gobiidae). The subfamily Gobionellinae comprises of 13 genera and 33 species in India. While working on the gobioid fishes of Indian Sundarbans (latitude 21°13'- 22°40' N. and longitude 88°03'- 89°06' E.),the first author came across few specimens of an interesting goby. After careful examination that turned out to be an undescribed species.
