Abstract
A new species of dwarfgoby,
Eviota sodwanaensis, is described from Sodwana
Bay, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. The species has
a complete cephalic sensory-pore system (pattern 1),
a dorsal/anal fin-ray formula of 8/7, branched pectoral-fin
rays, a short 5th pelvic-fin ray, a dark occipital
spot, a dark spot on the preural centrum, black first
dorsal and anal fins, and dark second dorsal fin.
The description is based on 9 type and 5 non-type
specimens.
