Biology:Economidichthys

From HandWiki

Economidichthys is a genus of freshwater gobies endemic to Greece. The name of this genus honours the Greek ichthyologist Panos Economidis.[1]

Species

There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[2]

The fossil species †Economidichthys altidorsalis Schwarzhans, Bradić & Bratishko, 2016 is known from the Middle Miocene of Austria, while †Economidichthys triangularis (Weiler, 1943) is known from the Middle Miocene of Romania and Croatia. These species inhabited marine habitats, suggesting that modern Economidichthys species are descendants of marine taxa.[4]
