Vladichthys gloverensis is a species of toadfish known only from the Atlantic Coast of Belize and Honduras, where it can be found on reefs. This species grows to a standard length of 5.6 cm (2.2 in). The generic name of V. gloverensis honors the toadfish expert Vladimir "Vlad" Walters (1927-1987), while the specific name refers to its discovery on Glover's Reef in Belize.
