| Taxon Notes: | Hoese & Hammer (2021) reviewed the Glossogobius giuris species complex in Australia and tentatively assigned them as G. giuris (coded here) and G. laticeps (coded as 37 428489). In Australia, G. giuris is known from rivers of the Hammersley Ranges and the Kimberley Region of Western Australia and eastward to the Northern Territory. Outside of Australia, also confirmed based on specimens examined from Madagascar, South Africa, India, Bangladesh and Malaysia. In addition genetic samples indicate the species is known also from Vietnam and China. In Australia it is sympatric with G. laticeps only in the Daly river system of the Northern Territory. | ||||||||
