Abstract
A new freshwater goby, Rhinogobius wuyiensis sp. nov., was found in the Wuyi river(28°51'N,119°

from this species in a number of ways: head had cephalic lateralis canals (vs. without cephalic lateralis canals); vertebral
count 10+16=26 (vs. 27); anal fin has 7-9 branched fin-rays (vs. 6-7); head had an irregular spot pattern which were
joined together (vs. with regular dots); inner branchiostegal memberane without dots in male(vs. with many dots).
