Abstract

We document multiple new records for the deep-water clingfish species Gymnoscyphus ascitus Böhlke and Robins 1970, known previously from only nine specimens collected at the type locality along the Atlantic coast of the Lesser Antillean island of St. Vincent. Five additional specimens, four from the Caribbean Sea (Mexico, Cozumel) and one from the Atlantic (north coast of Cuba), are reported.
