Microlipophrys bauchotae is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Atlantic ocean, known only from the Bay of Victoria, Cameroon and Bahia de Isabel, Bioko. This species grows to a length of 4.3 centimetres (1.7 in) TL.[2]

Etymology

The specific name honours the French ichthyologist and assistant manager at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris Marie-Louise Bauchot who had realised that this was a new species in 1967 but who felt there was too little material to describe a new species.[3]
