New findings of the recently described Mediterranean goby, Gobius xoriguer Iglésias, Vukić & Šanda 2021, are reported. The records from the Adriatic Sea are the first for the area and the bathyal Tyrrhenian Sea record (374 m) shows that Gobius xoriguer is one of the few Mediterranean gobiid species able to reach these depths. The westernmost Adriatic records of Vanneaugobius dollfusi Brownell, 1978 represent the first record of this species for Italy.
