Stiphodon is a genus of freshwater gobies. They inhabit swift, clear streams close to the sea and are found in large parts of Asia and Oceania. Many of the 36 currently recognized species have extremely restricted distributions on single islands or even single streams. These are small gobies with bodies squarish in cross section. A female of Stiphodon multisquamus with a standard length of 60.4mm is the largest Stiphodon individual on record.[1] Males of Stiphodon species are often vividly colored and a few species are occasionally sold in the aquarium trade, including Stiphodon ornatus, Stiphodon atropurpureus, Stiphodon maculidorsalis, Stiphodon semoni, and Stiphodon surrufus.
Species
There are currently 37 recognized species in this genus:
- Stiphodon alcedo Maeda, Mukai & Tachihara, 2012 - Described from Okinawa and Iriomote in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan,[2] but these may be vagrant populations transported to Japan via the Kuroshio Current (similar to Stiphodon surrufus), and the species may actually be endemic to and present in larger numbers in the Philippines[3]
- Stiphodon allen R. E. Watson, 1996 (Allen's stiphodon) - Endemic to Queensland, Australia[4]
- Stiphodon annieae Keith & Hadiaty, 2015 [5] - Endemic to Indonesia[6]
- Stiphodon astilbos P. A. Ryan, 1986 - Endemic to Vanuatu[7]
- Stiphodon atratus R. E. Watson, 1996 (Black stiphodon) - Native to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Admiralty Islands, Bismarck Archipelago, Bougainville, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia[8]
- Stiphodon atropurpureus (Herre, 1927) (Bue neon goby) - Probably endemic to the Philippines, but possible vagrant populations have also been recorded from Japan, Taiwan, southern China, and southern Malaysia.[3][9][10] Often confused with the very similar Stiphodon semoni, though their native ranges do not overlap. Many other similar-looking species of Stiphodon are also mislabeled as S. atropurpureus in the aquarium trade.[11][12]
- Stiphodon aureofuscus Keith, Busson, S. Sauri, Hubert & Hadiaty, 2015 [13] - Native to Java, Bali, and Lombok in Indonesia[14]
- Stiphodon aureorostrum Chen & Tan, 2005 - Endemic to Malaysia[15]
- Stiphodon birdsong R. E. Watson, 1996 - Native to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, from Halmahera to the northern coastline of Papua New Guinea[16]
- Stiphodon caeruleus Parenti & Maciolek, 1993 - Endemic to Pohnpei, Caroline Islands, Micronesia[17]
- Stiphodon carisa R. E. Watson, 2008 (Lampung hillstream goby) - Endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia[18]
- Stiphodon discotorquatus R. E. Watson, 1995 - Endemic to French Polynesia[19]
- Stiphodon elegans (Steindachner, 1879) - Native throughout tropical and subtropical regions in the eastern and central Indo-Pacific[20]
- Stiphodon hydroreibatus R. E. Watson, 1999 - Native to the Samoan Islands and Futuna[21]

- Stiphodon maculidorsalis Maeda & H. H. Tan, 2013 (Orange-fin stiphodon) - Endemic to West Sumatra, Indonesia[26][27]
- Stiphodon martenstyni R. E. Watson, 1998 (Martenstyn's stiphodon) - Endemic to southwestern Sri Lanka[28]

- Stiphodon surrufus R. E. Watson & Kottelat, 1995 - Endemic to Lagu Lagu Creek in Leyte in the Philippines,[46] but vagrant populations have also been reported in low abundance in Japan, probably transported via the Kuroshio Current[3][47]
