Oxyurichthys is a genus of fish in the subfamily Gobionellinae, commonly known as arrowfin gobies. They are distributed in the tropical and subtropical Indian and Pacific Oceans; one species is also known from the western Atlantic Ocean.[1] Most species live in shallow waters under 10 meters deep over fine substrates such as silt.[1]
