A short distance off the southeast coast of Bali, there lies a smallish island called Nusa Penida which is the discovery site for a new species of nano goby.Eviotaalgidajoins a parade of new species to be described in the genus and with such an incredible number and diversity within the genus, attention to minor detail is required to differentiate and properly identify this species.
The newly describedEviotaalgidamost closely resemblesE. winterbottomiwhich itself was only described in 2010.E. algida具有深色的身体颜色,上面有一个更明亮的红色头部,颜色模糊不清,但是物种的雄性表现出和伸长的背鳍,在相似的外观上找不到E. winterbottomi.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the newEviota物种是,到目前为止,只发现它生活在印度尼西亚巴厘岛努萨·佩尼达岛(Nusa Penida Island)附近的“深水上升地区”。因此,该物种的范围可能是热带的,它发现了一个特定的栖息地,距离我们心爱的热带鱼的起源不远,尽管该描述没有指定确切的程度,但它是由凉爽的温度定义的。
Many new species of unknownEviotastill await a formal description but the description ofEviotaalgidaby Greenfield and Erdmann brings the total number of species to 95. [JOSF]
