Females usually pale yellowish-brown in background of body and head; eyes cream color; first dorsal, second dorsal, and anal fins orange to red (small size transparent); pectoral fins transparent; caudal fin rays with four or five rows of brown spots, proximal red to orange, distal transparent; body markings similar to preserved specimens (Figs 3 c, d, 6 c).</p><p><b>Distribution and habitat.</b></p><p><i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> was previously known only from its type locality, the Paco River in Malakoni Village, Enggano Island, Bengkulu, Southwestern Sumatra, Indonesia (Fig. 1). This study provides the first record of the species from outside Enggano Island, based on recent underwater photographs taken by aquarium hobbyists in the Pisang River in Padang, Sumatra (Fig. 6 d). The habitat substrate consists of gravel and sand (Fig. 2). In Enggano Island, it was found together with two other sicydiine goby species, <i>Lentipes niasensis</i> Harefa & Chen, 2022 and <i>Sicyopterus micrurus</i> (Bleeker, 1854).</p><p><b>Molecular analysis.</b></p><p>A total of 52 sequences (680 bp) from 25 species were analysed to reconstruct a Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree (Fig. 7) rooted with the outgroup taxa <i>Awaous ocellaris</i> and <i>Sicyopterus lagocephalus</i>. The tree topology revealed that sequences of <i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> form a monophyletic clade. Phylogenetically, <i>S. hadiatyae</i> is sister to a clade comprising <i>S. hydoreibatus</i>, <i>S. sapphirinus</i>, and <i>S. tuivi</i>. Together, these four species form a clade that is sister to another clade containing <i>S. rubromaculatus</i>, <i>S. surrufus</i>, and <i>S. rutilaureus</i>. The genetic distances between <i>S. hadiatyae</i> and other members of the <i>S. sapphirinus</i> group range from 9.4 % to 11 %. (Table 8).</p><p><b>Remarks.</b></p><p>The morphological description and meristic counts of <i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> in the present study are generally consistent with those reported by Nurjirana et al. (2025), but several differences are noted. These include the belly being fully covered with scales (vs always without scales in Nurjirana et al. (2025)); more second dorsal-fin rays (10 vs 9); longer snout length in males (5.9–6.3 % vs 3.4–4.6 % SL); smaller body depth at pelvic fin origin (11.1–13.3 % vs 13.1–15.2 % SL), and body depth at the anal fin origin (11.7–14.9 % vs 15.7–17.3 % SL). These discrepancies may be attributable to differences in measurement methods among researchers. In addition, prolonged storage of specimens (their material was collected by Renny K. Hadiaty and Sopian Sauri on 26 April 2015) or suboptimal preservation conditions may have resulted in scale loss or specimen shrinkage.</p><p><i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> can be distinguished from five other species from Sumatra, <i>S. atropurpureus</i>, <i>S. carisa</i>, <i>S. maculidorsalis</i>, <i>S. ornatus</i>, <i>S. semoni</i>, based on a combination of morphological characters. It differs from <i>S. atropurpureus</i>, <i>S. carisa</i>, and <i>S. semoni</i> by lacking fatty tissue behind pectoral fin base in males (vs with a white attachment), presence of an elongated and filamentous first dorsal fin spine in males (vs absence), and pectoral fin rays usually 14 (vs usually 15); from <i>S. maculidorsalis</i> and <i>S. ornatus</i> by the presence of an elongated and filamentous first dorsal fin spine in males (vs not filamentous), pectoral fin rays usually 14 (vs usually 15–16), and lacking spots on pectoral fin (vs 3–8 rows of black and white spots on pectoral fin rays in both sexes) (Maeda and Tan 2013). In addition, females of <i>S. hadiatyae</i> have the first and second dorsal, anal, and caudal fins orange to red, a condition not observed in females of those five Sumatran congeners (Maeda and Tan 2013; Keith et al. 2015 a).</p><p><i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> differs from <i>S. alcedo</i>, <i>S. annieae</i>, <i>S. chlorestes</i>, <i>S. imperiorientis</i>, <i>S. larson</i>, <i>S. martenstyni</i>, <i>S. multisquamus</i>, <i>S. niraikanaiensis</i>, <i>S. pelewensis</i>, and <i>S. pulchellus</i> in having typically 14 pectoral fin rays (vs 15–16) (Watson 1996, 1998; Maeda et al. 2011; Maeda 2013); from <i>S. astilbos</i> by presence of an elongated and filamentous first dorsal fin spine (vs absence), a black blotch on caudal fin base (vs absence) in males, more scales in longitudinal row in both sexes (30–39 vs 24–29) (Ryan 1986); from <i>S. aureofuscus</i> by a greater number of scales in the transverse forward series (10–13 vs 6–8) and presence of cycloid scales on belly (vs without scales) (Keith et al. 2015 b); from <i>S. caeruleus</i> by more scales in longitudinal row in both sexes (30–39 vs 18–21), presence of scales on belly (vs absence), and body silver-grey (vs blue) in males (Parenti and Maciolek 1993); from <i>S. discotorquatus</i> and <i>S. julieni</i> by absence of spots on pectoral fin rays (vs with alternating spots of black and white on each pectoral fin ray), and absence of spots on second dorsal fin rays (vs black and white spots on each second dorsal fin ray) in both sexes (Watson 1995; Keith et al. 2002); from <i>S. kalfatak</i> by lack of fatty tissue behind pectoral fin base in males (vs with a white attachment in males) and having an elongated and filamentous first dorsal fin spine (vs absence) (Keith et al. 2007); from <i>S. mele</i>, <i>S. rubromaculatus</i>, and <i>S. surrufus</i> by presence of an elongated and filamentous first dorsal fin spine in males (vs absence), scales on belly (vs absence), more scales in longitudinal row (30–39 vs <30), more scales in transverse forward series (10–13 vs <10) in both sexes, and body silver-grey in males (vs orange to red in males) (Keith and Marquet 2007; Keith et al. 2009); from <i>S. percnopterygionus</i> by fewer transverse back series (8–9 vs 10–11) and premaxillary tricuspid teeth (21–31 vs 33–46) in both sexes; from <i>S. rutilaureus</i> and <i>S. zebrinus</i> by fewer transverse back series (8–9 vs> 10) and premaxillary tricuspid teeth (21–31 vs> 40) in both sexes, and by coloration (males pale; females cream with two black longitudinal bands vs dusky transverse bars on side in both sexes; Watson et al. 1998).</p><p><i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> is morphologically similar to <i>S. hydoreibatus</i>, <i>S. oatea</i>, <i>S. sapphirinus</i>, and <i>S. tuivi</i>, as their differences in morphometric measurements and meristic counts are relatively minor (Watson 1995, 1999; Watson et al. 2005; Keith et al. 2010). However, <i>S. hadiatyae</i> can be distinguished from <i>S. hydoreibatus</i>, <i>S. oatea</i>, <i>S. sapphirinus</i>, and <i>S. tuivi</i> by fewer premaxillary tricuspid teeth (21–36 vs 35–52 in <i>S. hydoreibatus</i>, 40–44 in <i>S. oatea</i>, 31–51 in <i>S. sapphirinus</i>, and 34–53 in <i>S. tuivi</i>). Additionally, it differs from <i>S. oatea</i>, <i>S. sapphirinus</i>, and <i>S. tuivi</i> by fewer scales in the transverse back series (8–9 vs> 10). Furthermore, <i>S. hadiatyae</i> can be distinguished from all these species by differences in body coloration and distribution (Fig. 6) (Watson 1995, 1999; Watson et al. 2005; Keith et al. 2010).</p><p>Since females of the <i>Stiphodon sapphirinus</i> group are superficially similar in color pattern, a comparative diagnosis based on female characters is provided. Females of <i>S. hadiatyae</i> can be distinguished from <i>S. discotorquatus</i>, <i>S. julieni</i>, and <i>S. tuivi</i> by pectoral-fin rays without alternating black and white spots (vs present); from <i>S. caeruleus</i> by belly with scales (vs absent); from <i>S. astilbos</i>, <i>S. oatea</i>, and <i>S. percnopterygionus</i> by black spots on first and second dorsal and proximal caudal fin rays (vs absent in those species); from <i>S. hydoreibatus</i> and <i>S. sapphirinus</i> by black spots on first dorsal fin rays (vs absent); from <i>S. mele</i>, <i>S. rubromaculatus</i>, and <i>S. surrufus</i> by more predorsal midline scales (vs absent or few) and black spots on proximal caudal fin (vs absent); from <i>S. rutilaureus</i> and <i>S. zebrinus</i> by sides without dusky transverse bars (vs present).</p><p>The ML tree based on COI genes showed that the genus <i>Stiphodon</i> is monophyletic and can be divided into two groups, consistent with the results of Keith et al. (2011), Taillebois et al. (2014), and Jhuang et al. (2024). However, relationships within the “ <i>S. sapphirinus</i> group ” are poorly supported, resulting in uncertainty regarding the phylogenetic positions of some species within this group, which may be attributable to incomplete taxon sampling. In addition, several <i>Stiphodon</i> species are not recovered as monophyletic, potentially due to misidentifications or the limited resolution of single-gene analyses, suggesting that additional genetic markers are needed to clarify their taxonomic status.</p><p>Based on both morphological and molecular evidence, the present study indicates that <i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> is sister to the clade comprising <i>S. hydoreibatus</i>, <i>S. sapphirinus</i>, and <i>S. tuivi</i>, and belongs to the “ <i>S. sapphirinus</i> group ” (Fig. 7). <i>Stiphodon hadiatyae</i> is distributed in western Sumatra and Enggano Island, whereas <i>S. tuivi</i> is currently known only from Marquesas, <i>S. hydoreibatus</i> from Futuna to Samoa, and <i>S. sapphirinus</i> from New Caledonia, Fiji, and Vanuatu (Fig. 1). Although phylogenetic relationships within the <i>S. sapphirinus</i> group remain weakly supported due to incomplete taxon sampling and the use of a single mitochondrial marker, the observed distribution pattern is broadly consistent with the biogeographic scenario proposed by Taillebois et al. (2014), which suggested that <i>Stiphodon</i> dispersed from the Indonesian shelf to Melanesia, followed by subsequent diversification.</p><p>Taxonomic key to distinguish <i>Stiphodon</i> in Sumatra</p><p>Abbreviations: D 1 = first dorsal fin; D 2 = second dorsal fin; A = anal fin; P 1 = pectoral fin.</p><p>Comparative material examined</p><p><i>Stiphodon annieae</i>: five specimens • DOS 07332, 22.1–24.8 mm SL, Maluku, aquarium trade, 15, January, 2020, coll.
