Abstract
A new species of sand whiting, Sillago</i> (Sillago</i>) caudicula</i>, is described based on four specimens collected from Oman, the Indian Ocean. It is easily distinguishable from its four known members of the subgenus Sillago</i> by having a smaller head (29.0-30.1% in standard length), 23-24 soft anal fin rays, 35-36 total vertebrae, body depth at the origin of the second dorsal fin slightly deeper than that at the origin of the first dorsal fin, first and second hypurals fused (in adult) or narrowly separated (in young), third and fourth hypurals fused, and 11 dusky midlateral spots on the body.
