Note(s): Varicus marilynae n. sp. is described from two specimens (each 18.0 mm SL) taken in coastal Florida waters in depths ranging from 61 to 91 m. The new species is characterized by a flattened coalescence of the ray tips in the first four pelvic fin rays and 18-19 lateral scale rows. The head and eye are smaller than those of V. bucca Robins and Bohlke, the only other known congener, whereas the pectoral fins are longer.
