However, due to their different growth environments and developmental stages, aquatic organisms often exhibit different morphological characteristics, such as "the same species but different forms" and "different species and the same forms", as well as commonly existing hidden taxonomic units, which complicates traditional morphological research. The morphology of gobies is diverse and widely distributed [1,2]. Their morphology rapidly differentiates and forms within an extremely short period of time, which is also common in other groups. ...

The phylogenetic relationships of Sicydiinae based on 13 mitochondrial PCG sequences are Sicydium + (Stiphodon + (Sicyopus + Lentipes)) + Sicyopterus, indicating that Sicydium, Sicyopterus, Lentipes, and Stiphodon are all monophyletic groups.
Abstract
We sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Lentipes ikeae and explored the phylogenetic relationships among Sicydiinae based on mitochondrial genome sequences. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L. ikeae was determined using the Illumina HiSeq X Ten sequencing platform, and the gene structural characteristics and base composition were analyzed. Based on the mitochondrial genome sequences of 28 Sicydiinae species published in GenBank and mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs), Acanthogobius flavimanus (Gobionellinae) was selected as an outgroup to construct phylogenetic trees of Sicydiinae using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods. The mitochondrial genome of L. ikeae (GenBank number: OP764680) has a total length of 16,498 bp and encodes 13 PCGs, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a D-loop (control) region. Gene rearrangement is not observed. The mitochondrial genome of L. ikeae exhibits an AT preference, with AT skew > 0 and GC skew < 0 across the entire genome. The phylogenetic relationships of Sicydiinae based on 13 mitochondrial PCG sequences are Sicydium + (Stiphodon + (Sicyopus + Lentipes)) + Sicyopterus, indicating that Sicydium, Sicyopterus, Lentipes, and Stiphodon are all monophyletic groups.
... Gobiid fishes of the genus Lentipes Gunther, 1861 are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater streams in the Indo-Pacific. They occur in the Andaman Islands, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Fiji Island, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and the Hawaiian Islands (Maciolek 1977, Sakai & Nakamura 1979, Allen 2001Watson et al. 2002, Chen 2004Chen et al. 2007, Jenkins et al. 2008, Moore et al. 2008, Seeto & Baldwin 2010, Lynch et al. 2013, Keith et al. 2014, 2015, Maeda et al. 2021.

Members of this genus are small amphidromous gobies that occur in swift-flowing freshwater hill creeks with rocky substrates (Way et al. 1998, Keith 2003, Keith et al. 2015, Keith & Mennesson 2019. They can be distinguished from other members of the gobiid subfamily Sicydiinae primarily by their unique dentition, having tricuspid premaxillary teeth and, 0-6 canine teeth in males, and by the shape of the urogenital papilla (Lynch et al. 2013, Keith et al. 2014). ...
... There are currently 22 recognized species of Lentipes. Among them 9 species occur in Indonesia (Keith et al. 2014, 2015, Miesen et al. 2016, Fricke et al. 2022: L. adelphizonus Watson & Kottelat, 2006, L. argenteus Keith et al., 2014, L. crittersius Watson & Allen, 1999, L. dimetrodon Watson & Allen, 1999, L. ikeae Keith et al., 2014, L. mekonggaensis Keith et al., 2014, L. multiradiatus Keith et al., 2014, L. watsoni Allen, 1997, and L. whittenorum Watson & Kottelat, 1994 Nias Island is located about 120 km off the western coast of the large island of Sumatra, Indonesia, in the Indian Ocean.

A new species of goby of the subfamily Sicydiinae, Lentipes niasensis, is described from the stream of Humogo River, Nias Island, Indonesia. This species can be distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of features: (1) fin ray counts: D2 I/10; A I/10; P 17–18; D1 not connected to D2 in either sex. (2) squamation: LR 7–11; anterior half of body naked, lateral body scales present from 5–6th rays of second dorsal-fin to hypural, embedded in skin. (3) upper jaw teeth in male 14–19 and in female 33–38. (4) urogenital papilla in male slender and distally pointed, flanked by pair of associated fleshy lobes and not retractable into sheath–like groove. (5) distinctive colour pattern of male: upper lip greyish, red patches on the pectoral-fin base, on mid-body below origin of second dorsal-fin and at caudal peduncle.

We document four male colour morphs of the Indo-Pacific goby genus Lentipes in Japan and the Philippines. Despite distinctive colour patterns, males of the different morphs could not be distinguished by meristic or morphometric characters. In contrast, co-occurring females had very similar colouration and could not be sorted into different types. We observed that the four types are not distinguished by mitochondrial genome sequences. On the other hand, genome-wide SNPs analysis clearly separated the four types, suggesting that they indeed represent four independent lineages. We considered that the four lineages could have diverged recently, and therefore, the sorting of mitochondrial haplotypes may not have been completed yet. One of the four lineages is identified as L. armatus Sakai & Nakamura, 1979 Sakai, H., & Nakamura, M. (1979). Two new species of freshwater gobies (Gobiidae: Sicydiaphiinae) from Ishigaki Island, Japan. Japanese Journal of Ichthyology, 26, 43–54.[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], and the other three are described in this study as new species: L. kijimuna sp. nov., L. bunagaya sp. nov., and L. palawanirufus sp. nov. We observed that males display their species-specific body colourations during courtship. Pre-zygotic isolation due to female preferences for different male body colours is probably the primary mechanism of reproductive isolation between the four species.

... Thirty-six species of Gobiiformes are thought to be diadromous based on their widespread distributions (Keith 2003;Miesen et al. 2016). Recently, a series of discoveries have been made regarding the distribution of riverine and diadromous gobies in the tropical zone (e.g., Maeda and Tan 2013;Tweedley et al. 2013;Keith et al. 2014;Gani et al. 2019); nonetheless, the precise distribution of many species is still poorly known. It is likely that additional studies of the fish biodiversity of Sulawesi, in particular riverine ichthyofauna, will reveal more "widespread gobies". ...
The recently described Stiphodon annieae (Keith & Hadiaty, 2015) was thought to be endemic to Halmahera Island, Indonesia. However, from August 2019 to January 2020, we collected several specimens during field trips to the Soho, Simpong, and Uso rivers in Luwuk Banggai, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. We describe specimens collected in the Soho River and discuss the ichthyofauna of Luwuk Banggai. This is the first report of S. annieae from Sulawesi. Our records represent a range extension of approximately 500-600 km west of this species' type locality on the island of Halmahera.
... 8 of which are found in Indonesia, with reported distributions in Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Ambon, and Sulawesi (Keith et al, 2017;Nurjirana et al., 2019). The species L. mekonggaensis found in the Koyoan River is a recently described species which was first found in 2014 in the Mekongga Mountains of Southeast Sulawesi Tenggara and has only been reported previously from that location (Keith et al., 2014). The species S. discordipinnis was originally found and described from Papua New Guinea by Watson (1995), and has since been reported from several other sites including Irian Jaya , Australia (Ebner et al.,2011), and the Solomon Islands (Boseto et al.,2007;Polhemus et al., 2008). ...
Sulawesi is an island famous for its biodiversity, including many endemic species. In particular, Sulawesi has the highest number of gobies in the world, including species with potential as food and/or ornamental fishes. The exploration of freshwater ichthyofauna is important in the context of Indonesian and global biodiversity. This research aimed to identify gobies found in the Luwuk Banggai area of Central Sulawesi, as a contribution to the exploration of Indonesian ichthyofaunal biodiversity. Gobies were sampled from January to March 2019 in the Biak and Koyoan Rivers. The sampled fish were measured and identified based on morphological characteristics. A total of 52 specimens were collected, and identified as belonging to 17 species within two families, the Gobiidae and Eleotridae. Gobies from the Koyoan River comprised 32 specimens from 8 species, while 20 specimens belonging to species were found in the Biak River. Only two species were found in both rivers: Stiphodon semoni and Sicyopterus lagocephalus. These results augment the body of knowledge regarding the presence and distribution of gobies in Indonesia.
... The systematic of this group, however, is still largely controversial and calls for a finer assessment of the family diversity in Indonesia. The recent description of four new Lentipes and Sicyopus species confirms that the Sicydiinae fauna is still poorly known in Indonesia [117,118]. The molecular phylogeny of the group, however, evidenced that molecular lineages generally match species boundaries and confirmed that Sicydiinae inventories may benefit from a standardized sequencing for species delineation and assignment [115]. ...
With 1172 native species, the Indonesian
ichthyofauna is among the world’s most speciose. Despite
that the inventory of the Indonesian ichthyofauna started
during the eighteen century, the numerous species
descriptions during the last decades highlight that the
taxonomic knowledge is still fragmentary. Meanwhile,
the fast increase of anthropogenic perturbations during
the last decades is posing serious threats to Indonesian
biodiversity. Indonesia, however, is one of the major
sources of export for the international ornamental trade
and home of several species of high value in aquaculture.
The development of new tools for species identification
is urgently needed to improve the sustainability of the
exploitation of the Indonesian ichthyofauna. With the
aim to build comprehensive DNA barcode libraries, the
co-authors have started a collective effort to DNA barcode
all Indonesian freshwater fishes. The aims of this review
are: (1) to produce an overview of the ichthyological
researches conducted so far in Indonesia, (2) to present
an updated checklist of the freshwater fishes reported
to date from Indonesia’s inland waters, (3) to highlight
the challenges associated with its conservation and
management, (4) to present the benefits of developing
comprehensive DNA barcode reference libraries for the
conservation of the Indonesian ichthyofauna.
... Only one other species in the genus, the blind cave-dwelling G. ankaranensis Banister, 1994, from Madagascar, is known to share the complete absence of head pores. In line with several other recent papers reporting on new fish taxa from the island (e.g., Parenti & Soeroto, 2004;Herder & Chapuis, 2010;Parenti & Hadiaty, 2010;Huylebrouck et al., 2012Huylebrouck et al., , 2014Parenti et al. 2013;Keith et al., 2014;Mokodongan et al., 2014), this description highlights the still underexplored endemic diversity of Sulawesi's freshwater ichthyofauna.

A new species of the gobiid fish genus Glossogobius is described from Lake Mahalona and compared with a similar species, Glossogobius flavipinnis known only from Lake Towuti, Sulawesi in Indonesia. The new species is a dwarf species, lacking all head pores, a rare condition in the genus. The two Malili Lakes species treated here are allopatric and differ in several features, including colouration of the body and fins, markings on the head and body, fin-ray counts and degree of prolongation of the second dorsal spine in females. A diagnosis is provided for the genus and a full generic synonymy given including justification for the synonymy. Stupidogobius Aurich is regarded as a junior synonym of Glossogobius. A key is provided to the major species complexes of Glossogobius endemic to the Malili Lakes. Ecology and conservation of the two species are discussed.
Insular biodiversity hotspots of Southeast Asia are remarkable for their biodiverse faunas. With a marine larval phase lasting up to several months, the freshwater fish subfamily Sicydiinae has colonized most islands of these hotspots. However, Sicydiinae diversity is still poorly understood in Southeast Asia. With the objective to estimate intraspecific genetic diversity and infer past demography, we conducted the molecular inventory of Sicydiinae species in Sundaland and Wallacea using 652 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene, species delimitation methods and Bayesian Skyline plot reconstructions. In total, 24 Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units are delimited among the 603 sequences belonging to 27 species and five genera. Two cases of discordance between morphology and mitochondrial sequence are observed suggesting ongoing speciation and/or introgression in two genera. Multiple new occurrences are reported, either for a single biodiversity hotspot or both, some of which corresponding to observations of a few individuals far from the range distribution of their conspecifics. Among the ten species or species group whose intraspecific diversity was examined, high levels of genetic diversity and past population expansion are revealed by Tajima’s D tests and Bayesian Skyline Plot reconstructions. Together these results indicate that long-distance dispersal is common and suggest that most endemic species originated through founder events followed by population expansion. Patterns of sexual dimorphism and males’ coloration among diverging species pair seem to point to sexual selection as an important mechanism contributing to speciation in the Sicydiinae of Sundaland and Wallacea.
The biodiversity of freshwater ichthyofauna in Central Sulawesi is still largely unexplored scientifically. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out a scientific expedition that aims to record fish fauna. The research was conducted on May 15-17, 2022, in Wera River, West Dolo District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. Fish sampling was carried out at four stations. Location 1 is located near community settlements, then locations 2-4 are located within the Wera Nature Tourism Park area. Fish were caught using beach nets and scoop nets with a mesh size of 1 mm each. Fish were preserved using 70% alcohol and then identified based on morphological characteristics. The results of the preliminary survey found two families and three genera of fishes in the Wera River. These genera, namely Lentipes sp. and Sicyopus sp. (Sicydiinae) are native species, while Poecilia reticulata (Poeciliidae) are introduced fish species (alien) in the Wera River. Sicyopus sp. ranged from 6.1 to 7.2 cm, Lentipes sp. from 3.2 to 4.2 cm, and P. reticulata from 1.3 to 3.6 cm in total length. The habitat of Sicydiinae is in a clear stream with dominant boulders. At locations where there was anthropogenic waste (plastics and organic waste), only P. reticulata were found. This study is the first report on invasive fish in the Wera River. Further morphological and molecular validation for Sicydiinae in the Wera River is needed to determine the species level.
