A new gobiid species is described from ten specimens, 9.2 - 16.7 mm SL, collected from the Saudi Arabian Red Sea. The new species is most similar to from the Gulf of Aqaba in the northern Red Sea. It differs from by having no large red spots on the dorsal and caudal fin elements, no elongate spines in the first dorsal fin, a shorter pelvic fin that does not reach the anus, branched pectoral fin rays, and a projecting lower jaw. The new species is further distinguished from all its congeners by a complete lack of cephalic sensory canals and pores. Specimens were found in small caves and overhangs at depths between 10 and 53 meters.
一种新的虾虎鱼物种是根据从沙特阿拉伯红海采集的10个标本描述的，体长9.2 - 16.7毫米。该新物种与红海北部亚喀巴湾的[未提及的相似物种]最为相似。它与[未提及的相似物种]的区别在于背鳍和尾鳍元件上没有大红斑，第一背鳍没有细长的棘，较短的腹鳍未到达肛门，胸鳍鳍条分支，以及下颌突出。该新物种还因其完全没有头部感觉管和孔而与所有同属物种进一步区分开来。标本是在10至53米深处的小洞穴和悬垂处发现的。
