A new genus, Arcygobius, is created to include the gobiid fish species previously known as Gnatholepis baliurus (Valenciennes) and Gnatholepis calliurus Jordan and Seale.It is a gobiine, not a gobionelline (as is Gnatholepis), resembles the genus Acentrogobius and is distinguished from other Indo-Pacific gobiines by having the gill opening wide and reaching to below mid-eye, cheeks fully scaled, operclc scaled dorsally and with transverse sensory papillae rows ventrally, papillae row a below eye formed by many short transverse rows, mouth large and oblique, chin prominent and a distinctive colour pattern.Isthmogobius Koumans, based on Bleeker's museum name for the genus, is not available.Gnatholepis calliurus is a junior synonym of Arcygobius baliurus
