This species seems to belong to Glossogobiu.s, having the large 

 mouth, notched tongue, and narrow isthmus of Glossogohius hrunneus 

 and G. giuris. The scales are, however, nuich larger than in the 

 latter species, and the soft dorsal and anal shorter. Gobius melanurus 

 Bleeker, scantily described by Bleeker, agrees with this species in 

 scales and fin rays. The color is dift'erent, however, and the mouth 

 is not described.
