Papuligobius uniporus is a species of small goby in the subfamily Gobionellinae.[4] It is also the type species of the genus Papuligobius. [5]
Description
Males of this species can reach up to 6.5 cm in
total length. Their vertebral column generally contains 26 individual vertebrae.[6] P. uniporus has a dorsal fin with 7 spines, but 9–10 soft rays. [5] Similarly, the anal fin has only one spine, but 8 to 9 soft rays. [5] The pectoral fins commonly have 18–19 soft rays, the base of which has 3 vertically arranged white spots, though the caudal fin (and other fins) are plain. [5]
P. uniporus, together with P. ocellatus, appear most similar to the genera
Tridentiger, and may share an evolutionary origin with these other groups of Gobies.[5]
Distribution and habitat

This species lives in tropical
demersal: preferring to live near the bottom of wetlands in the Ma River basin.[1][6] It is also known to inhabit small streams: preferring rocky substrate in clear, shallow, fast flowing channels. [6]
