Pascua is a genus of gobies native to the Pacific Ocean.[1] The origin of the name "Pascua" is from the Spanish for "Easter" in recognition of the Easter Island range of the type specimen.[2]
Species
There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[1]
- Pascua caudilinea J. E. Randall, 2005 (Pascua goby)
- Pascua sticta (Hoese & Larson, 2005)
A third species in this genus Pascua readeri (Hoese & Larson, 2005) has been recognised by some authorities,[3] but is placed in Hetereleotris by FishBase.[4]
