Abstract
The recent collection of gobiid specimens of Coryphopterus eidolon Boh lke and Robins in the Bahamas revealed a striking resemblance to speci es of the Indo-Pacific genus Fusigobius Whitley (1930). Suspecting tha t the genera Fusigobius and Coryphopterus (Gill, 1863) are synonymous, a comparison was made of the type species and other species of these two nominal genera. Fusigobius is placed in the synonymy of Coryphopte rus.
