A Chinese freshwater goby, described as Gobius davidi Sauvage & Dabry, 1874, has been reexamined by us. Thirty syntypes of G. davidi comprise two forms of gobiid, both assignable to Rhinogobius Gill, 1859. Twenty five specimens are identical to the types of Rhinogobius lentiginis (Wu & Zheng in Zheng and Wu, 1985). The remaining 5 specimens are now designated as lectotype and paralectotypes of Gobius davidi Sauvage & Dabry, being close to the original description in meristic counts and coloration. A redescription of R. davidi and R. lentiginis, and comparison between the two is presented. |
