Abstract
Malacoctenus brunoi n. sp., a scaled blenny endemic to Trindade Island, is distinguished from its southwest Atlantic congeners by the combination of a higher number of lateral-line scales (typically 62-66), a more elongated body (depth 19-22 % SL), and the presence of two longitudinal series of dark brown spots alongside the body.References
