Description
Three species of dwarfgobies new to science are described from the western Pacific Ocean: Eviota lateritea from New Caledonia, Eviota maculibotella from Vietnam, and Eviota singula from Palau. Eviota lateritea usually lacks all cephalic sensory-canal pores, although individual specimens may have PITO, AITO, and SOT. Eviota maculibotella lacks the POP and IT pores, and E. singula lacks all pores. Some pectoral-fin rays are branched in all three species, and all have distinctive color patterns.
