Etymology: Periophthalmus: Greek, peri = around + Greek, ophthalmos = eye (Ref. 45335); darwini: Named for the naturalist Charles Darwin, after whom Darwin Harbour (where the holotype was collected), was named.
Eponymy: Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) was the prime advocate, together with Wallace (q. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 5 - 7; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 1; Raios anais moles: 11 - 13. Can be distinguished by the following characters: body depth at anal fin origin 10.6-14.6% of SL, mean 12.7%; unique among Periophthalmus species in having a greatly reduced first dorsal fin (depressed dorsal 5.1-9.6% of SL) in both sexes, and usually with only five spines, fin widely separated from second dorsal fin origin; pelvic fins united for half their length,
distinct fraenum present, posterior tips of fins pointed to bluntly pointed, fifth ray bifurcating close to base and branching about 9 times; first dorsal fin plain blackish except for slightly paler base and narrow whitish margin; second dorsal fin translucent with broad submarginal black band and a row of black spots or blotches along fin base; no melanophores on anal
fin; pelvic fins whitish or with some fine speckling; orange spots may be present on lower side of head and body when live; second dorsal fin rays modally I,11; anal fin rays modally I,12; pectoral rays 11-13; caudal fin rays usually only with ventralmost 6-7 rays branched, dorsalmost 8-9 rays rarely branched; lateral scales 58-78; predorsal scales usually 24-25 (Ref. 76839).
