Akihito futuna
Akihito futuna, the Futuna's emperor, is a species of fish in the family Oxudercidae, the gobies. It is endemic to the island of Futuna in Vanuatu, where it inhabits the many streams present there.[1] Males of this species can reach a length of 6 centimetres (2.4 in) SL, while females can reach 2.9 centimetres (1.1 in) SL.[2] The type locality of Akihito futuna is the island of Futuna; it has not been found in any other location. Akihito vanuatu, the species first described in 2007 which inhabits the broader Vanuatu area, is similar to A. futuna morphologically; however, A. futuna is distinguished by having lower scale counts and fewer teeth than A. vanuatu.[3] A. futuna females additionally have more canine-like premaxillary teeth; the species shows pronounced sexual dimorphism.[3] References
