Platygobiopsis Hadiatyae, A New Species Of Deepwater Gobiid From Indonesia (Teleostei, Gobiidae, Gobiinae)

A new species of the gobiid genus Platygobiopsis Springer & Randall, 1992, is described based on a single specimen collected via dredge deployed at a depth range of 172 m and 182 m within the East Sunda Strait off Panaitan Island (Indonesia). The new species differs chiefly from congeners in having a scaleless (vs. scaled) chest and belly. A key to the four known species of Platygobiopsis is provided.
