Neogobius kessleri gorlap Iljin View in CoL in Berg, 1949: 1087; type locality: Caspian Sea and tributary rivers; types: no type material exists. The original description by Berg (1949) was based on information supplied by B. S. Iljin in a 1941 manuscript which is now lost.

Etymology: The species name gorlap likely is derived from a local term.

Distribution and habitat: Present in all three areas of the Caspian Sea and entering various freshwaters of the Caspian drainage. A bottom-living euryhaline fish found in brackish inshore habitats (usually from 0.5–10 m in depth, and rarely 10–20 m) and a wide range of freshwater habitats in the Caspian Sea ( Vasil’eva & Vasil’ev 2003b; Zarei et al. 2021) ( Fig. 27B View FIGURE 27 ).
