Systematics and distribution of two rare Mediterranean gobies, Corcyrogobius liechtensteini and Odondebuenia balearica (Teleostei: Gobiidae)
The distribution of the two gobiids Corcyrogobius liechtensteini (Kolombatovic, 1891) and Odondebuenia balearica (Pellegrin & Fage, 1907) in the Adriatic Sea is discussed. So far known from only 8 specimens, additional material of C. liechtensteini is described, including a first record outside the Adriatic Sea, from the Balearic Island of Ibiza. Neotypes are designated for C. liechtensteini and the generic diagnosis of Corcyrogobius is revised. New records of O. balearica show that this goby is widely distributed in the Adriatic, as far north as off Rovinj, on the Istrian coast of Croatia.
