    Xenisthmus balius is described from nine specimens from Jana Island, Saudi Arabia. It is distinguished from other xenisthmids in having the following characters in combination: dorsal-fin rays VI + 1,13; anterior rim of posterior nostril raised, without well-developed membranous flap; scales of body mainly cycloid; head and body pale, with reticulate, brown mottling dorsally.
