Abstract :
The Gobiid species Aulopareia unicolor (Valenciennes, 1837) (Family: Gobiidae) has not been known from the Mediterranean waters. Our presently recorded findings (two specimens from Port Said and six from Damietta) extend the geographical distribution of this species to the Mediterranean Sea. The morphometric analyses of this species were recorded in the Egyptian Mediterranean waters.
