A new species of Gnatholepis is described from northern Australia, where it is common on shallow intertidal rocky reefs.It is sexually dichromatic, with males having bright blue markings along the side of the body.The new species' closest relative is G. gymnocara Randall and Greenfield, 2001, which is restricted to the east coast of Queensland.Both these species are small, lack scales on the side of the head and lack enlarged canine teeth in the lower jaw.The new species has shown to be basal to all other Gnatholepis species
