Muscular body with a rounded anterior profile and somewhat compressed at posterior. Head little depressed after eyes but maintains a round profile overall. Eyes large and placed dorsolateral at the upper part. The interorbital area is flat. The snout is rounded and the upper lip is extended over the lower. Mouth terminal. The anterior nostril is a tube-like structure. The nape is with a convex ridge. The gill opening is narrow and extends beyond the lower pectoral base. Pre-dorsal scales are larger than normal. Body scales ctenoid. The operculum is covered with cycloid scales and the cheek below the eye is naked. The first dorsal fin is low and rounded, spines shorter than the second dorsal. Caudal fin with rounded edge.</p><p>The base body colouration of the live specimen is light grey to transparent. A total of 6 oblique black bands appear over the body and in some specimens, bands appear as patches of pigments. Six bands are prominent and rest three are almost merged with body colouration.</p><p>The third band of the body is extended to the first caudal and appears as a pigmented patch on the transparent membrane between 2 spine to the last spine. The ninth band starts from the caudal fin base and extends over the caudal fin. Bands appear darker in the middle of the body. The second dorsal is pigmented in three rows and the margin is transparent. The upper part of the head is mostly pigmented. Lips appear transparent. Round back circular spots are present below the eye. Red gill colouration is visible over the operculum. Pectoral fin rays are pigmented with transparent adjoining membranes</p><p>(Figure 2). Detailed morphometric measurements of these specimens are given in Table 1.</p><p>Habitat: Underground channels connecting small mangrove pools created inland at the time of low tide. Mostly avoid the pools and stay in underground channels that are unseen from the outside. The specimen was collected using a hand and a small aquarium net and it was hidden until the water inside the channel had been stirred; Brackish Water (Salinity: 9-15 ppt, Water temperature: 27.7°C – 39.1°C, Mud Temperature – 22.9°C – 26.2°C, pH: 8.1 – 8.3) (Figure 3).</p><p>Distribution: India - Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Rajan et al., 2013), West Bengal (Mishra et al., 2019), Andhra Pradesh (Mishra et al., 2019), Tamil Nadu (Sreeraj &amp; Sen, 2022). Elsewhere - West Pacific, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Borneo, New Guinea and northern Australia (Froese &amp; Pauly, 2019), Indonesia (Bleeker, 1850).</p><p>Comments: H. hoevenii can be readily identified from related species by the presence of six distinct diagonal bars along its sides and the first dorsal fin with two broad dark bands. Because of its colouration, the specimen was very much camouflaged in its environment and as far as the results all the specimens have been captured from two different interconnecting channels and it can be said that this species does have an affinity towards this underground channel and collecting them from this</p><p>Sreeraj et al. is quite tough. No juvenile specimens were found and unless the waters inside those channels are stirred, these won’t be noticed. Can survive outside water for more than five minutes.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A483725FF9F915FFF33FDD3FEC2FB48	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Slender body with an overall compressed profile but the anterior portion is somewhat rounded. Head length is almost one-third of the standard length. Head pores absent. Eyes placed dorsolateral at the uppermost part with a ridge at the top. The nape is somewhat concave after the first dorsal. Mouth oblique and subterminal. Jaws reaching below the middle of the eye. Anterior nose trills are tube-like, small and positioned just at the top of the upper lip. Lips are fleshy and smooth and the lower lip is free at the side. Scales at the anterior is enlarged. Body scales are ctenoid. Pre-dorsal scales are the same size as the body scales. Half of the operculum is covered with cycloid scales. The first spine of the first dorsal is enlarged having double length of normal spine length. First dorsal is low and triangular. Pectoral fins are semi-rounded and with pointed ends. Caudal fin with a semi-rounded edge.</p><p>Live specimen colouration is mainly transparent with a light yellowish dorsal profile and light pinkish ventral profile.

This elongated spot almost covers the upper half of the base of the caudal with a yellowish margin. A triangular black spot at the base of the Operculum. Both dorsal margins with black bands just after a white patch. The lower part of the head and lips are black. One pigmented narrow black patch is present just after the eye up to the operculum. Each scale on the side of the body up to the caudal peduncle has a dusky margin. The elongated dorsal spine is transparent. Most of the fin membrane and fin rays are transparent. Eye socket edges are pigmented black. (Figure 4). Detailed morphometric measurements of this specimen are given in Table 1.</p><p>Distribution: Peninsular Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India (Andamans, Kerala on the west coast) (Larson, 2001; Larson &amp; Lim, 2005; Larson et al., 2008; Ott, 2011; Praveenraj et al., 2017; Sreeraj et al., 2023). The species is reported here for the first time from the Indian mainland east coast; thus a significant range extension is reported here.</p><p>Habitat: Small mangrove mud pools, created temporarily during the time of low tide having interconnected channels underground (intertidal). Mud pools are associated with the base of tree trunks and pneumatophores in shady areas of the mangrove. The specimen was collected using a small aquarium net and it was well camouflaged in a muddy base with very little movement in the water; Brackish Water (Salinity: 9-15 ppt, Water temperature:</p><p>27.7°C – 39.1°C, Mud Temperature – 22.9°C – 26.2°C, pH: 8.1 – 8.3) (Figure 3).</p><p>Comments: The key characteristics of this species include an average lateral scale count of 26, four bands encircling the body, and a black stripe running from the eye to the mouth. The cryptic behaviour of these species and the selection of this specialized kind of microhabitat (Mud Pools), body colouration, and small size are the characteristics that made this species easily overlooked during a field survey. One specimen is observed in a single pool and two different specimens have been collected from two different pools. Another dominating group in this mud pool was Oryzias sp. This species cannot survive outside of water for a long period.</p><p>The species was collected from the mangrove creek of Sungei Pandan, Singapore for the first time and was identified as M. tigrinus by Larson (2001). According to Larson (2001), this species is closely associated in appearance with M. fasciatus Larson, 2001 which occurs in the western Pacific. But more or less M. tigirinus can be easily differentiated by the presence of four bands on the body and the presence of black bands behind the eye, whereas in the case of M. fasciatus five bands are present over the body and the bands behind the eye are white.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A483725FF99915EFF33FB33FA69F91A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
