Abstract:

Four new freshwater gobies of the genus RhinogobiusGill, 1859 were collected from the river running into the Gulf of Tonkin in northern Vietnam. They are Rhinogobius boa new species, Rhinogobius variolatus new species, Rhinogobius virgigena new species and Rhinogobius sulcatus new species. These four new species can be distinguished from other congeneric species by a combination of characters such as the meristic features, shape of body, shape of first dorsal fin and coloration pattern.

Keywords: Fish fauna; Gobiidae; northern Vietnam; Rhinogobius
