    This document reports the first record of Gobius roulei, a rare Mediterranean goby species, in the Ligurian Sea. Four specimens of G. roulei were collected in the Gulf of Genoa, Italy, representing the first time this species has been observed in the Ligurian Sea. The specimens are deposited in museum collections in Vienna and Italy. This new record extends the known range of G. roulei, previously only reported from the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, northern Adriatic Sea, and Cyprus.

    The Gobiidae are by far the most specious fish family in the
    Mediterranean Sea (Quignard and Tomasini, 2000). Although many
    species are abundant some are still rarely found (Kovacic, 2001;
    Ahnelt and Dorda, 2004). Gobius roulei De Buen, 1928 is such an
