Pseudogobiopsis is a genus of fish in the goby family, Gobiidae. They are native to fresh and brackish waters of southern and southeastern Asia.[1] The genus is mainly distinguished by the number and arrangement of fin rays and spines, headpores, and sensory papillae, the large mouths of the males, a fleshy or bony flange on the pectoral girdle, and the shape of the genital papilla.[2]
Species
There are currently four recognized species in this genus:[1][2]
- Pseudogobiopsis festivus Larson, 2009[2]
- Pseudogobiopsis oligactis (Bleeker, 1875) – bigmouth stream goby[3]
- Pseudogobiopsis paludosus (Herre, 1940)
