Benthophilus kessleri is a species of goby widespread along the eastern coasts of the Caspian Sea from the Urdyuk Cape to Kuuli Cape and Türkmenbaşy at south.[1] This species occurs at depths of from 65 to 75 metres (213 to 246 ft). It can reach a length of 4.6 centimetres (1.8 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the German-Russian zoologist Karl Fedorovich Kessler (1815-1881).[3]
