Schindleria praematura, Schindler's fish is a species of neotenic goby which was formerly placed in the monogeneric family Schindleriidae but which is currently classified within the Gobiidae. [4] It is associated with reefs and has an Indo-Pacific distribution from South Africa and Madagascar to Hawaii and the sea mounts of the South Pacific. [3] The generic name and the common name honour the German zoologist Otto Schindler (1906–1959) who described the species. [5]

Taxonomy

Schindler (1930), described the first species from the Hawaiian Islands as Hemiramphus praematurus because he assumed that the species was a larval hemiramphid. The second species –also described by Schindler (1931)—was observed from the Hawaiian Islands and described as Hemiramphus pietschmanni. Giltay (1934), found a single specimen of H. praematurus off New Guinea, and concluded that the species did not show a close relation to other known hemiramphids. He therefore combined both species Schindler found into a new genus called Schindleria and a new family Schindleriidae.(8) To date, these two species are the only described members of the family, although studies have suggested that Schindleriidae probably contains many species that have yet to be discovered and classified. (9)  Schindleriidae is a member of the suborder Gobioidei.  And the third species, Schindleria brevipinguis, was described by Watson et Walker, 2004 off north-eastern Australia (9).
