Country
MadagascarTypes
This species is undescribed so there are no types.
Distribution
Napolean Cave, 1 km from American campground, Ankarana National Park, northern Madagascar. Large, deep subterranean pool within Ankarana karst formation, Ankarana National Park, northern Madagascar (details from Sparks and Chakrabarty 2012).
Habitat
Not known.
Systematics
Kuang et al. (2018) used molecular markers to study the internal structure of the Suborder Gobioidei which contains within it eleven Families. They demonstrated that Milyeringidae is sister Family to a group of four Families: Oxudercidae+Gobiidae+Butidae+ Eleotridae and is only disttantly related to four others: Odontobutidae, Rhyacichthyidae, Apogonidae and Kurtidae (samples from Thalasseleotridae and Trichonotidae were not availabe for analysis).
Conservation Status
[NE]
This species, and its congener Glossogobius ankaranensis, is found in Ecoregion 67 (Madagascar northwestern basins) of Thieme et al. (2005). This is an area of savana and dry forest rivers which is globally outstading faunistically with a conservation status of endangered and of Priority Class 1 (Sparks 2005).
