Pomatoschistus knerii, Kner's goby, is a species of goby native to the western basin of the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea.[2] This species occurs in areas with soft substrates near to rocks or beds of seagrass.[1] The specific name most likely honours the Austrian ichthyologist Rudolf Kner (1810-1869), who was a friend of the author Franz Steindachner.[3]
