Taxon Notes:	Appears to be endemic to the Australia and New Guinea region (Sahul Shelf) east of Lydekker’s Line; known from Indonesia (Aru Islands and southern New Guinea), northern and southern PNG and Australia (Torres Strait, Cape York and Gulf of Carpentaria). Occurs in shallow-water estuarine to lower freshwater, from mangrove creeks and streams under tidal influence. Co-occurs with several local endemic Pseudogobius although can extend further into lower freshwater streams than other species, allopatric with P. jeffi (Larson & Hammer, 2021).
