Abstract - Feia nota is described from the 17.7 mm SL holotype from Bessieres Island, Western Australia. It is distinguished from F. nympha, the only other described species of the genus, in having 16 pectoral-fin rays, no pelvic fraenum, mostly ctenoid scales, 26-27 scales in lateral series, and a distinctive coloration (head and body generally dark with series of pale spots on dorsal midline; pectoral fin hyaline; caudal fin brown with dark basal bar).
