Proterorhinus victori

Common name. Georgian tubenose goby.

D iagnosis. Diagnosis. Distinguished from other species of Proterorhinus in Black Sea basin by: ○ head length 31–35 % SL / ○ eye diameter 20–27 % HL / ○ 12–14½, usually 13½ anal rays / ○ total scales in midlateral series 42–59. Size up to 75 mm SL.

Distribution. Georgia: Chorokhi, Kintrishi, Mchishta and lakes Kakhaberi and Inkiti in Black Sea basin.

Habitat. A variety of slow-flowing or still waters. Usually associated with dense vegetation or coarse rocks.

Biology. No data

Conservation status. NE; due to the very poor knowledge about this recently described species.

Remarks. The presence of mtDNA from P. semilunaris in fish from Kintrishi indicates some degree of hybridisation between the two species.
