Gobius kolombatovici (Kovačić & Miller, 2000) View in CoL
Several Kolombatovic’s goby, Gobiidae ( Fig. 7 View Figure 7 H-J), were observed and photographed in 2018 by S. Le Bris and by P. Louisy while scuba diving on 9 and 30 Jun., 21 Jul. and 30 Sep. off Planier Island, on 10 Jun. off Moyade Island, on 1 Nov. at Pierre percée, in the bay of Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône, France, Mediterranean Sea) at 35-45 m depth at 43.1979°N, 5.2284°E, at 43.1764°N, 5.3704°E and at 43.2852°N, 5.3059°E, respectively ( Louisy et al., 2019c). They were observed on sand close to the bottom of rock walls covered by coralline algae, occasionally close to isolated rocks or wrecks. The species was locally common. The individuals were roughly 6-8 cm TL. Another Kolombatovic’s goby ( Fig. 6I View Figure 6 ), was observed on 17 Jun. 2018 and photographed by Patrice Francour while scuba diving northeast of the Gabinière Island, Port-Cros, Hyères, (Var, France), at 42.9889°N, 6.3975°E, at 51 m depth. It was observed on a soft bottom of maerl and coarse shelly sand, with encrusting coralline red seaweed, Eunicella , bryozoans, simple and colonial ascidians, and Caulerpa cylindracea Sonder, 1845 . The individual was about 7 cm TL ( Francour et al., 2019). This poorly known species is uncommonly recorded by underwater observers.
