The little clingfish (Parvicrepis parvipinnis) is a species of clingfish found in reef environments along the coast of Australia. This species grows to a length of 3 centimetres (1.2 in) TL. This species is the only known member of its genus.[1] This species was described by Edgar Ravenswood Waite as Diplocrepis parvipinnis in 1906 with a type locality of Long Bay, Sydney, New South Wales. In 1931 Gilbert Percy Whitley raised the monotypic genus Parvicrepis for this species.[2]
