Etymology: Tryssogobius: Greek, tryo, tryso = to wear away + see under Gobius; longipes: From the Latin longes, and pes for foot, in reference to the elongate pelvic fins, especially in developed males (Ref. 44093).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.8 - 28.7, mean 27.5 °C (based on 20 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
