A new species of brackish water goby, Calamiana taiwanensis sp. nov., from northern Taiwan is described in this paper. This new species is characterized by the following unique combinations of features: (1) second dorsal fin rays I/7-8, anal fin rays I/7-8; (2) longitudinal scale rows 34-36; (3) first dorsal fin triangular, second to third spines filamentous in adult males; and (4) specific head pore system: anterior termination with a pair of head pores σ and λ, median interorbital region with a pair of pores κ1 and κ, postorbital region with a pair of pores ω, lateral termination with a pair of pores α, upper margin of preopercular region with a pair of pores β and ρ. The present study revealed that the head pore pattern is varied among the species of genus Calamiana, therefore this feature can be regarded as an important character for the species identification within Calamiana.
本文描述了一种来自台湾北部的咸淡水虾虎鱼新物种——台湾卡拉米虾虎鱼（Calamiana taiwanensis sp. nov.）。该新物种具有以下独特的特征组合：（1）第二背鳍鳍条I/7 - 8，臀鳍鳍条I/7 - 8；（2）纵列鳞34 - 36；（3）第一背鳍呈三角形，成年雄性的第二至第三棘呈丝状；（4）特定的头部孔系：前端有一对头部孔σ和λ，眶间中部区域有一对孔κ1和κ，眶后区域有一对孔ω，外侧端有一对孔α，前鳃盖区域上缘有一对孔β和ρ。本研究表明，卡拉米虾虎鱼属物种间的头部孔纹模式存在差异，因此这一特征可被视为卡拉米虾虎鱼属内物种鉴定的重要特征。
