Species Hemigobius hoevenii (Bleeker, 1851)

Banded Mulletgoby, Banded Mullet Goby

Introduction

Tentatively we retain the name Hemigobius hoevenii here. Huang et al (2014) regarded Hemigobius crassa Herre as distinct from this species. Larson (1999) regarded the latter species as a junior synonym of H. hoevenii. Australian material appears most similar to Hemigobius hoevenii as defined by Huang et al. (2014), but has a distinctive colour pattern, suggesting that it might represent a separate species.
