Abstract
Three species of dwarfgobies
new to science are described from the western Pacific
Ocean: Eviota lateritea from New Caledonia,
Eviota maculibotella from Vietnam, and Eviota
singula from Palau. Eviota lateritea usually
lacks all cephalic sensory-canal pores, although individual
specimens may have PITO, AITO, and SOT. Eviota
maculibotella lacks the POP and IT pores, and
E. singula lacks all pores. Some pectoral-fin rays
are branched in all three species, and all have distinctive
color patterns.
