Etymology: Eucyclogobius: Greek, eu = good + Greek, kyklos = circle + Latin, gobius = gudgeon (Ref. 45335); kristinae: Named for Kristina D. Y. Louie (feminine), for her dissertation and associated work contributed greatly to the studies of eastern Pacific phylogeography, as well as to a novel re-interpretation of the placement of Wallace’s Line across the islands of Indonesia.
Eponymy: Kristina D Y Louie (1974–2004) was a young research zoologist whose untimely death from encephalitis cut short a promising career dedicated to conservation genetics. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 10; Vertebrae: 34. This species is distinguished morphologically from its congener E. newberryi, by the following characters: reduction (for over ca. 2.5 cm SL) of the anterior supraorbital canal and concomitant increase in number of exposed neuromasts, 8-12 in adults (vs. 5-8 in E. newberryi); fewer pectoral fin ray 18-19 (vs. 19-21) and branched caudal rays 10-11 (9-12) [vs. 12-13 (11-14)] due to reduction in this count on the lower half of the caudal fin (Ref. 110200).

50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
