remarks : oxuderces is the type genus of the subfamily oxudercinae ( murdy , 1989 ) . both the the type ' s figure and the original description of the monotypic apocryptichthys day , 1876 , that day erected for apocryptes cantoris day , 1871 ( day 1876 ) , conform to oxuderces ( springer , 1978 ; murdy , 1989 ; jaafar & parenti , 2016 ) . however , the original description of apocryptes cantoris day , 1871 ( probably bmnh 1870 . 5 . 18 . 23 ) conforms to a species of scartelaos ( sensu murdy , 1989 ; kottelat , 2013 ; and jaafar & parenti , 2016 ) . see springer ( 1978 ) for further details . therefore , jaafar & parenti ( 2016 ) considered apocryptichthys to only partly include members of oxuderces , and reviewed the taxonomic and nomenclatural implications . the holotype of o . dentatus ( mnhn a . 1822 ) is a malformed specimen without pelvic fins ( jaafar & parenti , 2016 ) . the date of the original description of o . dentatus published here follows murdy ( 1989 ) and jaafar & parenti ( 2016 )
histological sections through the head of ( a ) oxuderces nexipinnis ( usnm 427099 ) and ( b ) apocryptodon wirzi ( usnm 432509 ) . the paired adductor arcus palatini lie on either side of the parasphenoid and the intermandibularis spans the lower jaw and connects the dentaries . bone is bright red , cartilage light blue , muscle and connective tissue dark blue to purple . scale bar = 0 . 5 mm .
the gape of both species of oxuderces is wide and extends about 3–4 eye lengths posterior to the orbit whereas the gape of most other oxudercine gobies only extends posteriorly to about the posterior margin of the eye . one character that is correlated with this structure is the angle between the metapterygoid–symplectic–quadrate strut and the anguloarticular . this angle is acute in oxuderces ( fig . 7 a ) but obtuse in all other oxudercine gobies and other gobioid taxa examined ( fig . 7 b ) . furthermore , the preopercle is uniquely thin and subcrescent - shaped in both o . dentatus and o . nexipinnis ( fig . 7 a ) , whereas it is broader and more distinctly crescent - shaped in other oxudercines and other gobioid taxa examined , such as gnatholepis ( fig . 7 b ) and microgobius ( birdsong , 1975 : fig . 1a ) .

( usnm 287166 ) . the neural spine of the fourth vertebra ( arrow ) is broad and spatulate and directed posteriorly in o . nexipinnis and relatively thin and pointed and directed dorsally in gnatholepis . bone is stippled , cartilage is represented by open circles .
oxuderces dentatus , head and anterior portion of the body in ventral view . a , mnhn a . 1822 ( holotype , 77 . 5 mm sl ) has pectoral fins and lacks pelvic fins . b , usnm 85846 ( 80 . 3 mm sl ) has fully formed pectoral and pelvic fins . the arrow in a points to the area where the pelvic fins have either been lost or never developed . anterior is to the left .

line drawings of the jaw and jaw suspensorium of ( a ) oxuderces nexipinnis ( usnm 279359 ) and ( b ) gnatholepis sp . ( usnm 287166 ) . angle between metapterygoid–symplectic–quadrate strut and anguloarticular is acute in o . nexipinnis , in which the preopercle is relatively thin and subcrescent - shaped . in contrast , the angle between the strut and the anguloarticular is obtuse , and the preopercle is wider and broadly crescent - shaped in gnatholepis sp . bone is stippled , cartilage is represented by open circles .
oxuderces nexipinnis is differentiated from o . dentatus by the following characters : first hemal spine terminating above mid - length of first anal - fin pterygiophore ( vs . extending ventrally below mid - length of first anal - fin pterygiophore ; fig . 10 ) ; mouth superior ( vs . terminal ) ; conspicuous dermal invagination posterior to the point of attachment of pelvic - fin base ( vs . dermal invagination absent ; fig . 6 ) ; head relatively long ( 27 . 3–30 . 3 % sl vs . 25 . 1–27 . 7 % sl ) .
oxuderces dentatus is differentiated from its sole congener o . nexipinnis in having : first hemal spine extending ventrally to a point approximately mid - length of first anal - fin pterygiophore ( vs . terminating dorsal to mid - length of first anal - fin pterygiophore ; see fig . 10 ) ; mouth terminal ( vs . superior ) ; no conspicuous dermal invagination posterior to point of attachment of pelvic - fin base ( vs . present ) ; and head relatively short ( 25 . 1–27 . 7 % sl vs . 27 . 3–30 . 3 % sl ) .
both species of oxuderces further share a unique morphology : a fleshy , interorbital trough ( fig . 3 a , b ) . the function of this trough is unknown , and it has not been reported in any other gobioid fishes . the presence and position of a single , median sensory pore c in the anterior part of the trough suggests that the function of the trough may be sensory - related . we are encouraged by the details revealed by histological preparation of the heads of oxudercine gobies , and plan to continue that examination as part of our larger study of oxudercine goby phylogeny .
apocryptes nexipinnis , described by cantor ( 1849 ) , was classified in the genus oxuderces , and synonymized with o . dentatus by murdy ( 1989 ) . we resurrect this name from synonymy as oxuderces nexipinnis . the bmnh syntypes are the left sides ( heads and bodies ) of two individuals that have been dried , filleted and stuffed with cotton wool ( fig . 14 ) . cantor ( 1849 ) did not indicate the number of specimens he had on hand and reported the total length of the specimen ( or specimens ) on which he based his description as 3 3 / 8 inches , or 85 . 7 mm tl . he further indicated that the caudal fin comprised 1 / 5 of the tl , which would mean that the specimen ( or specimens ) was approximately 68 mm sl . the bmnh syntypes measure approximately 67 . 8 mm sl ( possibly a male ) and 65 mm sl ( possibly a female ) . although the larger specimen is closer in size to that given by cantor ( 1849 ) , we do not designate it as a lectotype because both specimens are extremely distorted , as well as incomplete , and we cannot identify either with certainty as the primary specimen on which the description was based .
line drawings of the hyoid bar in ( a ) oxuderces nexipinnis ( usnm 279359 ) , ( b ) apocryptodon wirzi ( usnm 287292 ) and ( c ) gnatholepis sp . ( usnm 287166 ) . the anterior ceratohyal posterior to insertion of the fourth branchiostegal ray is elongate and notched ( arrow ) in o . nexipinnis , elongate and not notched ( arrow ) in a . wirzi , and not elongate and not notched in gnatholepis sp . branchiostegal rays 3–5 are distinctly thinner in a and b . bone is stippled , cartilage is represented by open circles . only the proximal portion of the five branchiostegal rays is drawn .
heads were excised from four adult specimens taken from these catalogued lots : oxuderces nexipinnis ( usnm 427099 ) , apocryptodon wirzi ( zrc 52259 ) , pseudapocryptes elongatus ( usnm 343560 ) and hemigobius hoevenii ( usnm 432507 ) . the specimens had been fixed in 10 % formalin and preserved in 75 % ethanol . the heads were decalcified , cleared and embedded in paraplast xtra and sectioned at 8 μm using a leica 2255 automated microtome . sections were stained with masson ' s trichrome stain . slides were examined with a leitz light microscope and photographed using an olympus vs120 virtual slide system . all histological slides are maintained in the division of fishes , usnm .

another kind of dermal invagination is known in five amblyopine genera : amblyotrypauchen , ctenotrypauchen , paratrypauchen , trypauchen and trypauchenichthys . in these taxa , in contrast to o . nexipinnis , the skin is invaginated on each side of the dorsal surface of the head lateral to the posttemporal bone and dorsal to the operculum . as with o . nexipinnis , the structure and function of the paired cavities in amblyopines is unknown ( murdy , 2006 : fig . 1 ) .
many gobioid species , including all gobioid taxa examined herein , have five branchiostegal rays ( hoese & gill , 1993 : 416 ) . a relatively thin anterior ray articulates with the anterior ramus of the anterior ceratohyal followed posteriorly by three rays that articulate with the posterior ramus of the anterior ceratohyal . the posteriormost fifth ray articulates with the posterior ceratohyal ( fig . 8 ) . branchiostegal rays 3–5 are distinctly thinner in some oxudercine gobies ( fig . 8 a , b ) and also clustered on the anterior portion of the posterior ramus of the anterior ceratohyal . in the gobionelline gnatholepis ( fig . 8 c ) , branchiostegal rays 3–5 are relatively thicker than in the two oxudercines illustrated here and the fifth ray articulates with the anterior ceratohyal closer to where it articulates with the posterior ceratohyal ( fig . 8 a , b ) .
the first hemal spine extends ventrally to approximately the mid - length of the first anal - fin pterygiophore in o . dentatus ( fig . 10 a ; we examined one cleared and stained specimen and radiographs of three specimens ) . in contrast , in o . nexipinnis , the first hemal spine terminates dorsal to the mid - length and near to the proximal tip of the first anal - fin pterygiophore ( fig . 10 b ; we examined four cleared and counterstained specimens and radiographs of five specimens ) .
two allopatric species : o . dentatus eydoux & souleyet , 1848 ( figs 3 a , 11 , 12 ) and o . nexipinnis ( cantor , 1849 ) ( figs 2 , 3 b , 6 , 14 ) . the distribution of each species is shown in figure 13 .

eydoux & souleyet ( 1848 : 183 ) described the colour of the holotype : ‘ce poisson est d ' un brun verdâtre supérieurement et sur les côtés ; inférieurement , il est d ' une couleur blanchâtre . les nageoires sont grisâtres [ this fish is greenish - brown on the dorsal surface and on the sides ; on the ventral surface , it is whitish . the fins are grayish ] ’ . wu ( 1931 ) reported live specimens with a bluish throat and abdomen and a black line on the upper lip . preserved specimens are uniformly light brown with a dark brown to black upper lip and pectoral - fin base . there is a diffuse , dark brown spot at half of ray height , on the posterior distal end of d2 ; the spot lies between the 20 th and the penultimate rays . eydoux & souleyet ( 1848 ) did not mention nor did they illustrate the spot , although springer ( 1978 ) reported it in examination of the holotype . only herre ( 1927 : 265–266 ) reported the presence of seven to eight brown dorsal cross bands posteriorly in his smallest specimen ( 41 . 0 mm ) .
