The new records for the marine fish fauna of Peru are: Dasyatis longa, Urobatis halleri, Cephalopholis panamensis, Prognathodes carlhubbsi, Cirrhitus rivulatus, Stegastes beebei, Thalassoma lucasanum, Thalassoma grammaticum, Axoclinus lucillae, Elacatinus punticulatus and Coryphopterus urospilus. Cirrhitichthys oxycephalus, Lythrypnus dalli and Myripristis leiognathus, previously have been referred to Peru but not documented there, this paper certify their presence.
