A deeper water species of the Mediterranean‐Atlantic gobiid genus Pomatoschistus, P. norvegicus (Collett, 1903), is redescribed from syntype material, including details of the lateral‐line system and a summary of geographical distribution. The systematic status of P. norvegicus is briefly discussed with reference to the other nominal species, P. minutus (Pallas) and P. lozanoi (De Buen), of the ‘P. minutus’ complex.
