Short description
Hình thái học | Sinh trắc học
This species can be distinguished by the following set of characters: D1 VII; D2 I,10; A I,9; P 19-20, (23.9-30.6% SL), with rays 13-16 greatly extended, reaching base of anal rays 1-3, giving fin asymmetrical appearance; fleshy exertions on tips of spinous dorsal, first six rays of second dorsal; pelvic fins well separated, with no anterior frenum and membrane connecting innermost rays, 5th pelvic-fin ray 1/4-1/5 length of 4th ray, all rays unbranched or branched internally and re-fused, with flattened fleshy tips, longest ray extending posteriorly to anal-fin origin or reaching origin of 2nd anal-fin ray; 12-23 ctenoid scales on the side of body extending anteriorly to between vertical under the middle of the 2nd dorsal fin, to just posterior of pectoral-fin base, scales becoming smaller with reduced ctenii anteriorly; presence of modified basicaudal scales; sensory papillae rows 5s and 5i connected as a continuous transverse row, separated by a distance of 1-2 papillae in two specimens; interorbital papillae pc’ and pe’ present; no cephalic lateralis pores on head or preopercle; single anal-fin pterygiophore inserted anterior to haemal arch; head is lined with 3-5 prominent yellow ocelli, extending from mouth to nape over dense field of numerous red, brown and gold chromatophores (Ref. 113825).
Collected on a gentlly sloping sand-calcareous bottom with scattered small calcareous rocks and ledges. It is also collected from fresh volcanic deposits, a submerged pyroclastic flow, mostly rocks with thin layer of dark sediments, scattering of small rocks, ledges and various sessile invertebrates (Ref. 113825).

Tornabene, L., J.L. Van Tassel, D.R. Robertson and C.C. Baldwin, 2016. Molecular phylogeny, analysis of discrete character evolution, and submersible collections facilitate a new classification for a diverse group of gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae: Gobiosomatini: Nes subgroup), with descriptions of nine new species.
