Drombus kranjiensis (originally described as Ctenogobius kranjiensis) and Drombus whitleyi are now regarded as junior synonyms of Drombus globiceps and Bathygobius fuscus , respectively. Drombus clarki , Drombus irrasus , Drombus maculipinnis , Drombus plumatus , and Drombus tutuilae have been transferred to the genus Callogobius . ^{[2] [4]} D. bontii is treated as a synonym of Gobius bontii by FishBase. ^[7]
