Abstract

A new species of the viviparous fish genus Grammonus (Ophidiiformes: Bythitidae) is described, based on two ripe males, 32-55 mm SL. They were caught over a muddy bottom in a shrimp trawl at 70-119 m off Central Vietnam. A comparison with the nine hitherto described Grammonus species shows them to be clearly distinct from other species. Except for G. ater, G. minutus differs from all other species by having either more or fewer dorsal (75-76) and anal (54-55) fin rays. It differs from G. ater i. a. by having more pectoral fin rays (22-23 vs. 18-19).
