A new mudskipper species was named in 1995 by Lee et. al. as Periophthalmus magnuspinnatus. We recently found out that maybe this species has been living in China for years. At the first sight at the name, it’s hard to discover the problem, actually at first, I thought it’s “magnu-spinnatus” (with a very rare connecting [...]
I’ve been always interested in evolutional and phynogenic studies, I read some ABCs before I went to bed on that last night, and woke up this morning thinking, “why not try it out myself”? Well, you know, a cladogram is something you see on a biology text book that shows how human evolves from ancient [...]

Today, Yang brought back 2 new gobies from Jishan. Including 2 Oxyurichthys and a typical Oxuderces dentatus. The Oxyurichthys fits O. ophthalmonema very well, because it has small antannae above the eyes, and a predorsal prominent line. For the O. dentatus there’re more problems to be resolved. We actually already have lots of O. dentatus [...]

Parapocryptes serperaster, at the first look, it looks like one, but it’s much shorter. I took a second look, then made up my [...]
