在巴哈马Exumas的一处深厚的珊瑚壁上，描述了一种属于Derilisss属的粘鱼新种。新种的特征是侧翼呈鲜艳的橙红色，头部为黄色，尾柄上有明显的黑色椭圆形斑纹。与该属的其他成员一样，新种似乎局限于中温带，并在286FSW采集到。
A new species of clingfish belonging to the genus Derilissus is described from a deep coral wall in the Exumas, Bahamas. The new species is distinguished from congeners by a unique pigmentation pattern and coloration, the presence of 47 total pectoral-fin rays, a strongly convex posterior margin on disk region B, and by a unique arrangement of papillae on disk region C. The new species is characterized by bright orangish-red coloration on the flank, a yellow head, and a prominent black oval marking on the caudal peduncle. Like other members of the genus, the new species appears to be restricted to the mesophotic zone, and was collected at 286 fsw.
