Abstract: Acyrtus pauciradiatus, new species, is described on the basis of three specimens collected at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. It differs from its congeners by having a reduced number of rays in the pectoral, dorsal, and anal fins and is more isolated geographically, than any other species in the genus.

“…They do not possess a swim bladder and are known as clingfishes, due to their thoracic sucking disc, which is formed by modified pelvic fins and skin folds (Johnson & Greenfield, 1983;Nelson, 2006). Six species of clingfishes are found in Brazilian waters (Sampaio et al, 2004). Hofrichter & Patzner (2000) studying seven Mediterranean Gobiesocidae species reported that one of the studied species is closely adapted to pebbles and boulders.…”

“…4H , 8D ). Though we have not had the opportunity to examine specimens of Acyrtus pauciradiatus (known to date only from the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago of the coast of North East Brazil [19] ), examination of photographs taken of the holotype (MZUSP 84516) reveal that, like Acyrtus artius, this species also exhibits a well-developed subopercular spine associated with a deep pocket in the adjacent branchiostegal membrane that is lined by an opaque patch of skin. Unexpectedly, our investigation of Arcos nudus has revealed this combination of features also to be present in this species.…”

“…Acyrtus Schultz [16] is one of several New World genera of the Gobiesocidae (clingfishes) composed solely of tiny, cryptobenthic species, attaining maximum sizes of less than 30 mm [17] – [19] . Two of the three currently described species of Acyrtus , A. rubiginosus (Poey) and A. artius Briggs, are widely distributed throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean and have been relatively well studied compared to other western Atlantic clingfishes [20] – [22] .…”

“…Several fish species have been described or revalidated in the last 10 years from Brazilian marine waters (Moura et al, 2001;Rocha & Rosa, 2001;Rocha, 2004;Sampaio et al, 2004;Santos et al, 2004;Guimarães & Bacelar, 2002;Gasparini et al, 2003;Burgess, 2001;Feitoza, 2002;Heemstra, 2008;Luis-Jr. et al, 2009); for a complete update from 1999 to 2009, see Carvalho-Filho et al (in press).…”
