Two new species of mudskipper (genus Periophthalmus ) are described from mangrove habitats of north-western Australia.They both resemble small specimens of Periophthalmus novaeguineaensis Eggert, 1935, and have been confused with that species.Periophthalmus darwini n. sp. is distinguished by a combination of characters, in particular a greatly reduced first dorsal fin in both sexes.Periophthalmus murdyi n. sp. is distinguished by a combination of characters, including heavily pigmented pelvic fins and a relatively plain blackish first dorsal fin.Periophthalmus novaeguineaensis is re-diagnosed, as the data presented in its 1989 review by Murdy was found to include that of the two new species.Periophthalmus expeditionium Whitley, 1953, may be a valid species also.A dichotomous key to all Periophthalmus species is included
