Abstract

Labrisomus cricota, a scaled blenny from the coast of Brazil, is described. The new species differs from its nine West Atlantic congeners by the combination of the following characters: opercle with a dark ocellus, 64 to 68 lateral line scales, first and second dorsal fin spines noticeably longer than the third, and not flexible.
