A new genus, Tryssogobius, is created for two new species of Indo-west Pacific gobiids (T.colini n. sp. and T. longipes n. sp.).The two species are distinguished by differences in fin rays counts, oculoscapular pores, body shape, and coloration.Both species are small, less than 30 mm SL, and occur in relatively deep coral reef habitats, where they hover above the substrate in a manner reminiscent of the microdesmid Nemateleotris
