Investigations on the diversity of cryptobenthic reef fishes resulted in observation of seven new geographic records for Lakshadweep waters, India: halfbarred goby Amblygobius semicinctus, target shrimpgoby Cryptocentrus strigilliceps, thread shrimpgoby Ctenogobiops mitodes, eye-bar goby Gnatholepis anjerensis, Miki's dwarfgoby Eviota mikiae, Erythrops goby Bryaninops erythrops, and Enneapterygius sp. Ctenogobiops mitodes is a new record to Indian waters. The genera Cryptocentrus and Bryaninops are reported from Lakshadweep for the first time. The observations were conducted in the lagoon and reef slope of Kavaratti Island, one of the 12 atolls of the Lakshadweep archipelago, from January–March 2021. The cryptobenthic reef fishes were observed and recorded through underwater photography and videography.
