Description
Knipowitschia panizzae (Verga, 1841)
Vernacular names
Glavočić vodenjak. Adriatic dwarf goby.
Previous names used for the species
Gobius pannizae Verga, 1841; Padogobius panizzai (Verga, 1841).
Origin and geographic range in BiH
Adriatic Basin.
Remarks
First recorded as Gobius panizzae by Vuković (1963a), but without information on its distribution in BiH. Later, Vuković (1977a) reported it as Padogobius panizzai in the lower Neretva River catchment, while Sofradžija (2009) listed it as Knipowitschia panizzae for the same area; it was not mentioned by Bogut et al. (2006). Since its taxonomic status in the Adriatic Sea is doubtful (Kovačić & Pallaoro 2003), and is not recorded in BiH (Šanda & Kovačić 2009), until confirmation K. panizzae should not be included in this checklist.
