Pandaka lidwilli, or the Lidwill's dwarf goby is a species of goby found in brackish and salt water in the mouths of rivers and maritime zones in Japan,Australia and Papua New Guinea.[1] The specific name honours the Australian anesthesiologist, cardiologist Mark C. Lidwill (1878-1969), who was co-inventor of the pacemaker, as well as being a saltwater angler, who while fishing for game fish observed this tiny goby and brought it to the attention of Allan Riverstone McCulloch who subsequently described it.[2]
