| Abstract | A new species of eleotrid, Hypseleotris barrawayi, is described from the upper Katherine River, of the Daly River system of the Northern Territory. It differs from others in the genus by having distinct dark vertical bars on the body, the first and second dorsal fins are banded horizontally with light and dark pigment, the caudal fin usually has several dusky bars or rows of spots, has a dark bar on the pectoral base, 26 vertebrae, preopercle with scales, lateral scales usually 32, and predorsal scales scattered along midline of nape, not reaching the eye and often absent altogether. The species is known only from the upper reaches of the Katherine River, with a preferred habitat of clear quiet water with shelter, such as near steep banks with overhanging vegetation, where it may form loose schools. |
