S INCE the publication of my revision of the Clinidae (Hubbs, 1952), eight specimens of the tribe Cryptotremidi which merit published record have come to my attention. Four of them belong to each of the two genera, Alloclinus and Cryptotrema. The four specimens of Alloclinus holderi from Baja California show that this species occurs on the outer coast of Baja California between Cape Tortolo and Los Coronados Islands. The four young Cryptotrema from off Angel de la Guarda Island in the Gulf of California differ sufficiently from C. corallinum to be considered a distinct species described below.

Cryptotrema holderi, a new species of clinid fish, is described from Baja California and the Gulf of California.

Key Takeaway: Cryptotrema holderi, a new species of clinid fish, is described from Baja California and the Gulf of California.
