Rhinogobius carpenteri is a freshwater species of goby endemic to the Philippines.[1] It grows up to 5.9 cm (2.3 in) SL,[2] and is dull yellow-brown, whitish under the jaw, eyes blue, grayish fins with two silvery white anterior spines, silvery white anal fin rays, with the caudal fins shading to dusky at the tip.[3] Its common name in the Philippines is kuchu. The species was named for the co-collector of the cotypes, Mr. W. D. Carpenter.[4] In 1927, Albert William Christian Theodore Herre erected a new genus in the family Gobiidae, Tukugobius and moved R. carpenteri into it as the type species,[5] but the genus was later rendered invalid.[6]

Size

This species reaches a length of 5.9 cm (2.3 in)

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of American naturalist William Dorr Carpenter (1879-1958), who helped collect the type specimen.[7]
