Abstract
A new species of ptereleotrine
dartfish, Navigobius vittatus, is described
from marine waters of Brunei Darussalam, on the island
of Borneo, based on 25 specimens, 14.8-23.0 mm SL.
It is distinguished from Navigobius dewa of
Japan, the only other described member of the genus,
by a combination of features that include a smaller
maximum size, first dorsal fin taller than second
dorsal fin and containing filamentous rays, 11-13
segmented dorsal rays, 10-12 segmented anal rays,
53-58 scales in longitudinal series, and pronounced
color differences.
