Abstract

Two species of the genus Callionymus Linnaeus, 1758 are reported for the first time from Bangladesh. Callionymus sagitta Pallas, 1770 was collected from Sundarbans mangrove area and Callionymus erythraeus Ninni, 1934 from Saint Martin’s Island having coral reef-like ecosystem. In fact, no species of the genus Callionymus was reported earlier from Bangladesh waters. Both C. sagitta and C. erythraeus have been identified based on their morphological characters.
