Abstract: Two specimens of an estuarine goby, Oxyurichthys cornutus McCulloch and Waite, 1918 (Gobiiformes: Gobiidae) were collected from the Matsuda River, Sukumo City, Kochi Prefecture, Japan. In Japanese waters, O. cornutus was previously known from Chiba, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Wakayama, Tokushima and Oita prefectures, Kagoshima mainland, and the Osumi and Ryukyu Islands. Thus, the present specimens represent the first records of the species from Kochi Prefecture. They were characterized by having a tentacle on the eye, an elongated first dorsal-fin spine, a dark spot on each body scale on the dorsum and dark spot rows on the second dorsal and pectoral fins.
