A new genus, Phyllogobius gen.nov., is proposed for Cottogobiusplatycephalops Smith, a species of commensal goby which does not belong in Pleurosicya Weber, the senior synonym of Cottogobius Koumans.The genus is characterised by an unrestricted gill opening forming a broad free fold across the isthmus, at least half the first gill arch bound by membrane to the opercular wall, and the premaxilla with ascending and articular processes broadly fused together.P. platycephalops is a rare species, commensal on flat upright sponges
