Stigmatogobius yanamensis Rao 1971

Description

Stigmatogobius yanamensis Rao, 1971

Stigmatogobius yanamensis Rao, 1971: 48, figs 2b, 2d, 2e, 2f (Godavari Estuary, India).

This species is referred to as a Pseudogobius in Larson (2001) and as Pseudogobius yanamensis in Tran et al. (2013: 145) but does not belong to this genus. The holotype and six paratypes are held at the Zoology Museum, Andhra University, Waltair, and specimens are known from several other localities (HKL pers. observ. and K. Shibukawa; in litt.). Recent material examined from the Mekong River system shows that this species does not belong in Pseudogobius as it has a different arrangement of sensory canals and pores on the head and does not have the characteristic corkscrew-shaped intestinal arrangement found in Pseudogobius.
