Teleostei (teleosts) > Gobiiformes (Gobies) > Gobiidae (Gobies) > Gobiinae
Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible.;  flebilis: Name from Latin 'flebilis' meaning tearful, referring to the distinctive tear-like red line under the eye; noun in apposition..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7; Vertebrae: 25. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: cephalic sensory-pore system pattern 2 (lacking only IT pore); dorsal/anal fin-ray formula 8/7; unbranched pectoral-fin rays; fifth pelvic-fin ray 9.7-12.9% of 4th; caudal-fin base with a narrow dark bar; a red line reaching down from under eye to jaws; presence of 5 postanal ventral-midline spots associated with subcutaneous bars; absence of black crescent-shaped marks underneath pectoral fin (Ref. 95167).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Photographed or collected from lagoon, slope, and drop-off coral-reef habitats (Ref. 95167).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.5 - 26.3, mean 23.3 °C (based on 101 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
