Periophthalmus walailakae

P. walailakae, which was discovered in 2002, is newly stated among Periophthalmus. This species is distributed in mangrove swamp along Andaman Sea from south Thailand to the Philippines.
P. walailakae grows very large (above 10 cm) next to P.barbarus in west Africa in Periophthalmus.
The features of appearance are round pelvic fins like P. chrysospilos, and dusky body color with unglossy whitish spots. The pattern of body looks like a pastel shades. The surface of skin is rough like snake.
It is another of features that size-ratio of first dorsal fin to the body is smaller than that of other species of Periophthalmus.
They prefer to spend a long time in the water of the mangrove swamp.

The body pattern seems to be drawn by three color crayon, black, white and brown. White spots is not glossy in the body.

This gh.

In inside, acquiring the place name which is accompanied to name, it calls ラノン you.

Pattern of back ビレ can see cleanly. The base of first back ビレ is seen red, the next black band, white has edged the upper edge of the fin.
When you compare with other トビハゼ generic, back ビレ small will be vis-a-vis the body and the head is. At 6 individual everything which I saw, first soft stripe seeding of back ビレ it had not extended.

As for second back ビレ from above red -> black -> white -> the wide black band -> the band has entered in white and clean.

It is one of feature, the ま it is round stomach ビレ.
Unless there is this, with field the extent where distinction with ミナミトビハゼ is not attached directly it has been similar.


As for picture under rise just of stomach ビレ.
The ま is as for the Nakano circle the air has entered.
With the kind of feeling whose medium side texture of the skin is rough rather, it is the feel which the plate plate is done. It probably means that the one is easy to be stuck?
So far most the snake skin っ ぽ it is in the トビハゼ being attached which I saw you think that it is ヒフ.
So, when to becoming large, a little it is strange not to be found until now, simultaneously, it is vexatious tremendously by his not to be able to find first, is.
