Adelotremus leptus is a species of combtooth blenny native to the Red Sea where it is only known from Marsa el At, Egypt. It was caught at a depth of 15 metres (49 ft). It has a slender body.[2] The first specimen, a female, measured 3.54 centimetres (1.39 in) SL, and others have been recorded since.[3] Until 2017 this species was considered to be the only species in the monotypic genus Adelotremus.[4] In 2017 a second species, Adelotremus deloachi was described from Indonesia.[5]
