A new species of Neobathyclupea is described from two specimens collected off Myanmar and off Socotra Island. The new species is most similar to N. malayana, but differs from it and other congeners in having jet-black coloured fins, larger pseudobranch, dorsal-pterygiophore pattern and some body proportions. Neobathyclupea malayana is re-diagnosed. Individual variations in armament of the preopercle and in the dorsal-pterygiophore patterns within Bathyclupeidae are discussed.

A new species of blenniid fish, tribe Salariini, is described based on a 23.8 mm SL specimen collected from the AndamanIslands, eastern Indian Ocean. It differs from other species of Alloblennius in having a pinnately branched supraorbitalcirrus about equal to eye diameter in height; lower jaws with relatively large, darkly pigmented labial flap anteriorly oneach side of chin; pectoral fin with 10 or 11 distinct, small dark spots; and anteriormost preopercular pore position with avertical pair of pores. The distribution of the new species is notable because the four previously described species of thegenus are known only from the western Indian Ocean and Red Sea. A table comparing the five species of Alloblennius is presented.

A new species of polychaete, Armandia sampadae was collected from shallow sandy sediments off Rutland Island (57 m depth) and off North Andaman (52 m depth) during a benthic survey along the continental shelf of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The major character which distinguishes this species from other members of the genus Armandia is the presence of a pair of large, flattened, rounded, stalked, pigmented, leaf-shaped ventral papillae at the ventral base of the ringed anal funnel and the occurrence of a pair of sub-triangular black pigmented spots in the basal portion of the ventral papillae.

A new species of the genus Trimma is described. Trimma annosum is characterized by the presence of scales in the predorsal midline, non-elongate spines in the first dorsal fin, and a moderate interorbital trench. The fifth pelvic-fin ray is branched dichotomously once and is 40-65% the length of the fourth. When alive, Trimma annosum is bluish grey with 3 or 4 rows of large yellow blotches on the head and body. In addition to the northern Indian Ocean where it is apparently rare, the species is distributed eastward throughout Indonesia and the Philippines to China, Micronesia and Fiji. The osteology of this species is described and illustrated in some detail to form the basis for a series of phylogenetic studies of Trimma currently being undertaken.
