Benthophiloides turcomanus
Benthophiloides turcomanus is a tiny species of gobiid fish native to the Caspian Sea. It is only known from two specimens collected from the waters of Turkmenistan at a depth of 27 metres (89 ft). The specimens, no longer than 3 centimetres (1.2 in) TL, have since been lost.[1][2]
