Palatogobius is a genus of gobies native to the western Atlantic Ocean. [1]
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Eviota is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae, commonly as dwarfgobies found in the Indo-Pacific region, where it is distributed from Japan to Australia and from Africa to Pitcairn Island. Species are mainly associated with coral reefs. Many of these fish are short-lived, with life cycles as brief as 3.5 weeks in the tropics. Some species are hermaphrodites and some representatives live symbiotically among the tentacles of the mushroom coral.
Bathygobius is a circumtropical genus of fish in the family Gobiidae.
Risor ruber, the Tusked goby, is a species of goby native to reefs of the western Atlantic Ocean from southern Florida to the Bahamas and south to northern Brazil. This species associates with barrel sponges, sometimes living within the sponge. This species can reach a length of 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) TL. It is currently the only known member of its genus.
Akko is a genus of gobies native to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Americas.
Antilligobius is a genus of goby. It contains only the species Antilligobius nikkiae, the sabre goby, which is native to deep waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. The specific name honours Nicole Laura Schrier, the daughter of the owner of the Sea Aquarium in Curaçao, who collected many of the type specimens.
Chriolepis is a genus of gobies native to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Americas.
Coryphopterus is a genus of gobies mostly found in the western Atlantic Ocean though a couple species are found in the Indian and/or Pacific oceans.
Ginsburgellus novemlineatus, the Nineline goby, is a species of goby native to tropical reefs of the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is frequently found associated with the sea urchin Echinometra lucunter, living underneath the urchin. This species grows to a length of 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade. This species is the only known member of its genus, the name of which honours the ichthyologist Isaac Ginsburg (1886-1975) of the U.S. National Museum who had an interest in gobies.
Gobiosoma is a genus of gobies native to fresh, brackish and marine waters of the Americas.
Kelloggella is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae, the gobies. This genus is distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The genus name honours the American entomologist Vernon Lyman Kellogg (1867-1937) of Stanford University, the discoverer of Kelloggella cardinalis.
Microgobius is a genus of gobies native to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the Americas.
The orangespotted goby is a species of goby native to the tropical Atlantic coast from Bermuda and southern Florida through the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico south to the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and Colombia, where it prefers silty bottoms around reefs. It is a commensal with an alpheid shrimp. This species grows to a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. This species is the only known member of its genus.
The frillfin goby is a species of marine fish in the genus Bathygobius.
Psilotris is a genus of gobies native to the western Atlantic Ocean.
Robinsichthys arrowsmithensis is a species of goby found on the Arrowsmith Bank in the Caribbean Sea at depths of from 92 to 596 metres. This species grows to a length of 2.3 centimetres (0.91 in) SL. This species is the only known member of its genus. The name of this genus honours C. Richard Robins, an American ichthyologist who was an important contributor to the study of gobies of the Americas.
Varicus is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae, the gobies. They are native to the western Atlantic Ocean.
Gobiosoma bosc is a fish named for its lack of scales. This is a true goby; it is part of the genus Gobiosoma.
Akko dionaea, the Atlantic specter goby, is a species of gobies native to the Amazon basin and Colombia. It inhabits black mud at ca. 20 m depth.
Palatogobius grandoculus is a species of marine fish in the family Gobiidae and the order Gobiiformes. Its name comes from the Latin word palatum (palate) which pertains to palate and its teeth which form there, plus the Latin word gobius, which means goby. The species name grandoculus refers to this species' very large eyes. Specimens of P. grandoculus were collected as early as 1976, and originally described as the Mauve Goby, however it was not formally identified as a separate species and described until 2002.
Pinnichthys is a genus of ray-finned fish from the family Gobiidae. They are found in the western Atlantic and the eastern Pacific, the genus was named in 2016. Three species previously classified in the genus Chriolepis have been included in Pinnichthys.
