Platygillellus smithi is a species of sand stargazer native to the waters around the Bahamas where it occurs at depths of from 0 to 9 metres (0 to 30 ft). It can reach a maximum length of 3.4 centimetres (1.3 in) SL.[2] Its specific name honours the collector of the type C. Lavett Smith (1927-2015) who was curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History.[3]
