Popis: International audience; A new species of Eleotris, a freshwater eleotrid, is described fromstreams of the Solomon Islands using both genetic analysis based on the mitochondrialCOI gene and morpho-meristic study. The new species is separatedfrom E. acanthopoma, E. melanosoma, and E. fusca with a mean pairwise divergenceof 14%, 11%, and 9.9%, respectively. It shares with E. fusca, its sister species, thesame combination of cephalic free neuromast patterns (i.e., second, fourth, andsixth suborbital free neuromast rows on cheek extending ventrally past horizontalrow d (2.4.6 pattern) and row os connecting with row oi at ventroposteriormargin of opercle, but it differs by a combination of characters includingscales in lateral series 42 – 46 versus 53 – 67, transverse back series 11 – 13 versus13 – 21, and zigzag series 9 – 11 versus 12 – 17.
