Greenfield & Randall (2011) described the gobiid fishes Eviota dorsogilva from Fiji and E. dorsopurpurea from Papua New Guinea as new species in what they termed the Eviota nigriventris complex. They also extended the range of E. nigriventris, type locality Banda Sea, to Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea. In the present paper, we describe their misidentified E. nigriventris from Papua New Guinea as a new species, E. brahmi, and redescribe E. nigriventris based on new material from near the type locality. The four species of this complex differ mainly in coloration, but are also shown to be distinct using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA.
格林菲尔德和兰德尔（2011年）将来自斐济的背黄埃氏虾虎鱼和来自巴布亚新几内亚的背紫埃氏虾虎鱼描述为他们所称的黑腹埃氏虾虎鱼复合体中的新物种。他们还将黑腹埃氏虾虎鱼（模式产地为班达海）的分布范围扩展至巴布亚新几内亚的米尔恩湾。在本文中，我们将他们误鉴定的来自巴布亚新几内亚的黑腹埃氏虾虎鱼描述为一个新物种——布拉氏埃氏虾虎鱼，并根据模式产地附近的新材料重新描述了黑腹埃氏虾虎鱼。该复合体的这四个物种主要在体色上有所不同，但通过线粒体和核DNA也显示出明显差异。
