Speleogobius trigloides Zander & Jelinek, 1976

A Grotto goby, Gobiidae ( Fig. 8B ), probably a female, was observed by M. Duhau while scuba diving on 4 Aug. 2018 ( Duhau et al., 2019b). It was observed on a shady rock covered by green filamentous seaweed> 2 cm long, at Serpent (Saint-Raphaël, Var, Mediterranean Sea, France), at 40 m depth at 43.4081°N, 6.8549°E. The individual was about 3 cm TL. A population of the species is regularly observed at this exact location. Along the French Mediterranean coast the species was known from Banyuls (Pyrénées- Orientales), Port-Cros (Var) and Ajaccio (South Corsica) ( Louisy, 2015). The species is uncommonly recorded; it seems to occur only in few locations with specific habitat features.
