Distribution
The known species distribution range encompasses the Gulf of Korinth, the Aegean Sea (Attica) and on the islands Crete and Kythira.
Systematics
A member of the Subfamily Lepadogastrinae together with the following genera: Apletodon (7 species), Diplecogaster (8 species), Lepadogaster (3 species), Lecanogaster (2 species) and Opeatogenys (2 species) (Briggs 1957).
Biological Notes
Quantitative data on ecology is largely lacking. Gouania orientalis occurs in sympatry or even syntopy with G. hofrichteri throughout its distribution range. The species inhabits intertidal and subtidal pebble and boulder beaches (Wagner et al. 2020).
