Zusammenfassung:The first record of Gobius incognitus Kovačić & Šanda, 2016 was reported from Malta. Two specimens were collected at the island of Gozo and stored as unidentified in 2012, several years before the description of Gobius incognitus. A decade later the material was finally identified based on morphology and coloration pattern of preserved specimens. The habitat preferences and geographic distribution of this species are discussed. Prvi nalaz vrste Gobius incognitus zabilježen je za Maltu. Dva primjerka ove vrste sakupljena su na otoku Gozo još 2012. godine, prije opisa same vrste 2016. godine. Desetljeće poslije, materijal je određen pomoću morfologije i obojenja konzerviranih primjeraka. Raspravljeni su podaci o staništu i zemljopisnoj rasprostranjenosti ove vrste.
