All five of the new dwarfgoby species are positively known from Fiji. The novel species described in the latest publication of Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation are:
- Eviota eyreae
- Eviota mimica
- Eviota richardi
- Eviota teresae
- Eviota thamani
The paper is open access and includes a review of the entire Eviotaa dwarfgobies, a genus that contains numerous gobies that pack a lot of color into their tiny bodies.
Unfortunately, no decent live or preserved photos of E.mimica and E.thamani currently exists.
